Max

Hello crafters!  Welcome to the September Die Release Blog Launch!  We are adding to the Pet Pals Collection during this launch!  There are eight new dies in this collection.  As always, I will be giving away the entire collection to one lucky winner based on a drawing made from the comments left on the blog during the release.  You may add one comment to every post for the maximum amount, but please only one per post.  I will be doing the drawing and announcing the winner on Sept. 23rd (I know its a bit of a wait, but I will be away for awhile during the launch).  Please be sure to make your name memorable in some way so there is no confusion as to who the winner is.  Please add a last name or initial or the town or city where you live or even a funny alias will work.  Just some way to differentiate your name from any others.

We are starting out the launch with Pet Pal Max, the German Shepard.  This set has eight dies in it, including a letter, several stars and hearts, a couple of flowers and leaves, a pet coat and strap and a neckerchief.  There are so many ways to embellish Max with this set.  

If you think this beautiful boy (or girl) will be a great addition to your craft stash, then just leave a message on this post.  The next post will be along at noon today.  All for now, Sue x

Love & Hugs

 Hello there my crafty friends!  I started today's pop up card by cutting the Wild Rose Cover Plate die with a piece of black card.  I glued a white backing piece to it, then cut the die again out of Soft Lavender, Powder pink, lilac and green card.  I used the fall  away pieces and paper pieced them back into the die cut.I cut the Love & Hugs sentiment from the Love Wordie Sheets and added it to the middle with mounting foam.  I matted it with white card.  I then glued it to a folded piece of Soft Lavender card.  For the inside, I cut the 3D Card Maker out of white card and glued it inside.  I used the Dynamic Daisies and cut them out of the same colours and added them to the middle pop up feature with greenery from the Fabulous Foliage die set.  I used the Floral Medley flowers and cut a double flower and stem  and glued it to the top of the inside card.  I cut the Just For You out of Soft Lavender and black card.  I shadowed it and glued it to the top of the card.  For the bottom of the card, I cut more flowers using the Wild Rose flowers and stems and glued all three across the floor of the card.  The finished dimensions are 5" x 6" when closed.

May Your Days Be Merry & Bright

 Good Sunday morning all!  I started with a piece of milk card and embossed it with the Nordic Tiles embossing folder.  I cut the piece of a diagonal and added mounting foam to the backs of both pieces.  I scored a piece of antique gold card and attached the two pieces to it with a gap in between showing the scored card. I added two thin strips of gold card to each of the sides surrounding the gap.   Using the Build A Wreath die, I cut the wreath out of antique gold twice and once out of gold mirror card and  layered it together to create a fuller wreath.  I added a double milk coloured bow, glued it to the top of the wreath and added twigs as accents.  I added small  milk berries to the wreath as well.  I cut the May Your Days Be Merry & Bright sentiment out of both gold and black card.  I shadowed the gold die cut then glued it to a shadow backing piece.  I added it at the bottom of the card with mounting foam.  The card was completed with milk mats and layers.  The finished dimensions are 6 3/4"  x  9 1/4"  in size.

Boo To You

Hello bloggers!  I cut a square piece of white card and used a scoreboard to add lines around the edges.  I selected a piece of pixied card that was made using Midnight Blue Pixie Powders.  I ran a line of glue all the way around the edge and sprinkled Iced Snow on it and set it aside to dry.  I cut the Boo To You Frame out of both white and black card.  I used the white die cut as an offset shadow behind the black one and glued it to the pixied card.  I cut the Boo To You sentiment in black and white and shadowed it and glued it inside the frame.  The card was completed with white and black mats and layers.  The finished dimensions are 7"  x  7"  in size.

Merry Christmas

Hi there my crafty friends!  I started with a piece of antique gold card.  I used the star cluster stamp from the Santa Stamp set and inked it with a Clear Perfect Medium pad and stamped it randomly all over the edges of the card.  I sprinkled gold embossing powder on it then heated it.  I cut two of dies from the Stained Glass Rectangles in white.  I backed both of them with black card and matted them together, then added them to the middle of the card with mounting foam.  I stamped the Santa from the same set in black.  I coloured it with markers and a gold paint pen.  I cut it by hand (very easy to do) and added it to the matted rectangles with mounting foam.  I used some Fluffy Stuff on his hat and heated it to puff it up.  I stamped the Merry Christmas sentiment from the stamp set in black and matted it with gold and black mats.  I added it below the focal element with mounting foam.  The card was completed with white, gold and black mats and layers.  The finished dimensions are 7 1/2"  x  8 1/4"  in size.

You're The Best

Hi crafters!   I cut the Wild Daisies Cover Plate die with a piece of black card on top of a piece of white card.  I used the white copy to colour the image, then I glued the black copy on top.  I matted it with a piece of white card, then added it to a folded piece of raspberry card. I cut the You're The Best sentiment from Wordie sheets.   I cut the 3D Card Maker die with a piece of white card, then glued it inside the folder raspberry card.  I used the Dynamic Daisies cut in shades of pink and added them to the tops and fronts of the pop up feature.  I added greenery from the Fabulous Foliage as accents. I cut the Just Because sentiment out of raspberry and black card.  I shadowed it and glued it to the top of the card.   For the top part, I cut a single side view daisy and added it to the stem and glued it on the right side.   Using the side view butterfly from the Bountiful Butterfly set, I cut it in black and white card.  I coloured the white copy then added the black die cut on top.  I glued it to the top flower.  For the bottom of the card, I cut two birds from the Wild Bird die set and coloured them.  I cut a branch and nest and arranged the birds on the branch and next to the nest.  I added some greenery under the nest.   The finished dimensions are 5"  x  6" closed.
