Merry Branch

Hello and a Happy Friday to all of you!  Today I'm sharing a card I made using a new die from Cheapo Dies.  I'll be here every Friday to share a new die with you so I hope to see you again.  In the meantime, be sure to take time to check out all the different dies they have available.  I'm having so much fun with all of the dies I've been sharing over the last several weeks.  They are good quality and you can't beat the price.  I know you'll love them as much as I do.  You can see them HERE.

The die featured today is the Merry Branch.  I cut out four of the Merry Branch and glued them together since I wasn't going to be able to use foam tape.  It added just the right amount of dimension.  I used one of the negatives as a stencil and added a touch Coral Berry ink on the card front.  Then, I added the layered die-cut.  On each berry, I added a rhinestone I colored with a Copic marker.  Stamped a sentiment and viola! the card was done.  I love the clean and simple look of this.

Stamp Set:  Holiday Florals (Taylored Expressions)

Inks:  Coral Berry, Jet Black (Altenew)

Cardstock:  Sugar Cube (Taylored Expressions)

Dies:  Merry Branch (Cheapo Dies)

Other:  Rhinestone Basic Jewels (Stampin' Up!), Copic Marker R27

Floral Butterfly

Hello and a Happy Friday you!  Today I'm sharing a card I made using a new die from Cheapo Dies.  I'll be here every Friday to share a new die with you so I hope to see you again.  In the meantime, be sure to take time to check out all the different dies they have available.  You can see them HERE.

The die featured today is the Floral Butterfly.  I cut one butterfly out of Pacific Point cardstock and, using some foam tape, popped it up onto the stamped image.  The floral image is one I've had in my stash and thought it was a perfect way to show off this butterfly.  I stamped the sentiment and that was another card all done and ready to use.  I decided to add no embellishments so as not to detract from the die-cut.  I think this is such a pretty butterfly.

Stamp Sets:  Build-A-Flower:  Cattleya, Build-A-Flower:  Rose (Altenew)

Inks:  Jet Black, Caramel Truffle, Frayed Leaf (Altenew) 

Cardstock:  Delightful Dijon, Pacific Point (Stampin' Up!); Sugar Cube (Taylored Expressions)

Candle Arrangement

Hello and a Happy Friday you!  Today I'm sharing a card I made using a new die from Cheapo Dies.  I'll be here every Friday to share a new die with you so I hope to see you again.  In the meantime, be sure to take time to check out all the different dies they have available.  You can see them HERE.

The die featuring is the Candle Arrangement Die.  I die-cut two of them, one in Sugar Cube and one in Poppy Parade and offset the red layer so it was peeking out from behind the white.  After stamping the Pine Bough Background in Cilantro ink, I stamped the sentiment from the Holiday Florals stamp set in Jet Black ink.  I popped up the die-cut on foam tape to give it a bit of dimensions.  For the finishing touch, I added a few Cherry Pop Enamel Dots.

Stamp Sets:  Pine Bough Background, Holiday Florals (Taylored Expressions)

Inks:  Cilantro (Taylored Expressions); Jet Black (Altenew)

Cardstock:  Mossy Meadow, Poppy Parade (Stampin' Up!); Sugar Cube (Taylored Expressions)
