Double Z-fold card on Die Cut Divas

 Hello there,

Today I am sharing a double z-fold card on Die Cut Divas.  Our challenge theme this month is Make a Z-fold card.  

 I stamped and colored the images with alcohol markers, then die cut and adhere to the prepared card base.  To make the Plumeria bouquet looks fuller, I stamped, colored and die two time.  I cut up the second one into two halves, and adhered them to the back of the first one.

The sentiment die cut is from the Spellbinders 2024 Advent Calendar set, and the sequins I used to embellished the card is from the Spellbinders 2022 Advent Calendar.


The two main set of stamps and die I used, Exotic Plumerias and Poised Flamingo are Altenew, our sponsor for this month.  The challenge prize is $20 gift certificate to their store.


Now it's your turn to make some z-fold card.  You can use Altenew products and/or other company's for your project, just make sure you die cut and/or dry embossed during your creation process.  I'll see you in the challenge gallery!

Supplies:

Copic Alcohol Markers
Memento Dye Ink (Tuxedo Black)

Altenew July 30 Days of Crafting Challenge (Day 26)

 Hello there,

It's been many days since my last post, well I have been keeping myself out of troubles by playing along Altenew July 30 Days of Crafting.  And I am adding my own twist to the challenge, instead of making cards, I have been creating in my 6x6 inches art journal. 

My page for today's prompt: Day 26 - use ombre ink blending on a sentiment or background.


Instead of inking horizontally, I did it vertically; and I really like how it turned out.


Supplies used shown in photo.

Thanks for visiting.  Have a lovely day!

Soft rainbow colored card on Die Cut Divas

 Hi,

It's my turn to share another Birthday themed card on Die Cut Divas today.  


I used one of the MFT Scallop Basic Edges die to die cut the rainbow colored pieces, adhere them onto a white top fold card base.  Then added sentiment and flowers die cut in iridescent card stock.  It took a bit of time to align the scallop pieces, but its worth the while.

Our challenge theme on Die Cut Divas this month is: Birthday.  Our sponsor, My Favorite Things is closing.  The DT have loved so many of MFT's products and at the least, wish them a big "Thank You" for all the wonderful things they have done in the industry.


 Supplies:

MFT Stitched Scallop Basic Edges Die-namics
MFT Floral Adornments Die-namics
Sunny Studio Party Pets Stamps & Die set
Memento Dye Ink (Tuxedo Black)
Gelly Roll Metallic Silver Gel Pen

Thanks for coming over to my blog.  Have a sweet day!

A stitched floral card on Die Cut Divas

 Hello,

Welcome to July's challenge on Die Cut Divas.  Our challenge theme this month is Birthdays.

We are aware that My Favorite Things is closing so we don't know if they will be able to give a prize, however we have loved so many of MFT's products and at the least, wish them a big "Thank You" for all the wonderful things they have done in the industry.

There will be a $25 gift card given to the winner from a well known company,. 

Please enter even though there may not be a prize.  Show MFT that we remember them well.

I used Floral Adornaments - MFT-2545 (retired) for my card.


I die cut multiple flowers using various color cardstock, then stitched with white embroidery floss.  

On a white card base, I adhere one kraft stitched rectangle panel, followed by a white one with black heat embossed sentiment.  

Next I arranged and mounted the stitched flowers with both glue and foam adhesive.  I found that the white panel was a bit boring, so I usee the smallest floral die in the set and die cut several using white cardstock, glued them together, inked and stamped randomly on the panel with yellow ink.

Hop on over to Die Cut Divas and check out more DT inspirations.  Take your favorite stash out and make some birthday cards and join in the fun.  Remember to add die cut and/or dry embossing to your project(s) to qualify for the drawn.  Winners are announced on the Die Cut Divas blog on the 3rd of next month.

Supplies:

MFT Floral Adornments Die Set
White embroidery floss
Memento Dye Ink (Tuxedo Black)
Clear embossing powder
