Hi Chris here and I am so excited to share this adorable Christmas Card! I just love these new stamps and papers from Dare 2B Artzy! I started by matting my Holly Days paper onto coordinating card stock and attaching it to my card base. I then stamped my Poinsettia Tangle stamp onto a piece of dictionary paper with the Pomegranate ink. If you are an avid book person like me, and have a hard time tearing a page out a book I have a little hint for you.... go to your dollar store and buy a cheap dictionary...then you won't feel guilty for tearing out the pages. I then fussy cut the stamped image and matted onto the coordinating red card stock and then fussy cut the matted image.  I added some liquid pearls to the center of my poinsettia and added the flower to my card, tucking in a few die cut holly leaves. I then stamped my greeting and double matted the greeting into a banner and attached to the card.  I topped the poinsettia off with a coordinating ribbon bow. ...

Hi!  Chris here and today I am sharing this adorable card I created using Dare 2B Artzy's new papers and Stamps! To create this card I started by matting 2 pieces of the Blissful Bloom paper (the A and B sides) onto dark blue card stock and then attached it to my card base.  I then stamped the Dream Catcher from the Dream Big Stamp Set onto white card stock.  I then used a scalloped circle punch to punch out the dream catcher and matted the scalloped circle on silver scalloped circle and then a dark blue scalloped circle. I added the scalloped circle onto the bottom of the card. I stamped my greeting from the Dream Big set and double matted the greeting onto the silver and then the blue card stock.  You can see how the tiny bit of silver really makes everything POP!   I finished off the card by adding a silver bow and a white paper flower.  I did use a Tim Holtz Distress Marker to tint the edges of the flower!   I hope you are inspired ...

Today I am sharing this  cute baby card I created for Dare 2B Artzy!  I started by cutting 6 squares from the Artzy Doodles Variety paper pack. I adhered them to my card and added some faux stitching.  I used my scallop deco scissors ( Yep! You read that right!  I still have my deco scissors and love them!) to cut a border strip from the pink Artzy Doodles paper.   I stamped the Turtle from the Turtle Couple Stamp Set. I used the coordinating Turtle Die to cut out my stamped image. I colored my image using my Copic markers ( Y11, V06, V01, B21, G24, Blender) . Here is a close up of my Turtle and faux stitching. The color on my turtle ended up being a little darker than I wanted so I used my blender pen to take away a little bit of the ink.   I cut a greeting block and hand wrote my greeting and added faux stitching to finish off the card! Can't wait to see what you create with these adorable papers and stamps!    ...

I stamped the Big Bloom images onto my card stock and colored the images with my Spectrum Noir Markers ( CT1, IB1, PP3, DG3, CG1, CG2). I fussy cut out my blooms  and added them to the left of my photo. Here is a close up of ...

Today I am sharing this card I created for this month's Dare 2B Artzy Challenge.   This month's theme is POLKA DOTS!!!!!  I had so much fun creating this card.  I started by stamping my background using the large circle from the Bright Birthday Set using Dare 2B Artzy's Bright Pumpkin Premium Ink.  I then stamped the mini flower in a circle stamp from the Thinking of You Stamp set using Paradise Premium Ink.   I matted my card base on the Brand New Artsy Doodle- paradise paper line.
