Hi friends! It’s Emily here with you today sharing my first blog post as a Design Team Member using the A-D-O-R-A-B-L-E Fox Holder Die Set and the Valentine Holder Additions Die Set.

To create the adorable valentine fox, I die-cut the fox pieces from white cardstock and colored the pieces using blending brushes and an assortment of orange inks for the body and a soft gray ink for the face, ears, belly & tip of the tail. I cut the eyes, nose and mouth from black cardstock and used liquid adhesive to assemble the fox. What a cutie!  And it gets even cuter when you add one of the many options from the Valentine Holder Additions Die Set. I went with a pink heart-shaped box of chocolates wrapped with a bow and a Flamingo Pink Jewel.

For the background, I started with a pink cardstock panel and used the heart layer from the Layered Heart Sprinkles Stencil to add the tiny pink hearts. To create the lace-like bottom of the card, I adhered a short white panel with three die-cut Doily Borders.

To finish the card, I used foam tape to adhere the fox to the decorated background panel and added a pink and white embossed “Happy Valentine’s Day” sentiment from the Valentine Greetings Stamp Set.

So there we are friends, a loveable-huggable fox card for your favorite Valentine.

Hello everyone, it’s June here! Today I’m showcasing a card using the new Love Word Shaker die and lots of other products from the Valentine’s Day release.

I wanted to keep the concept of the card fairly simple, but added details along the way for some more interest. I started by die cutting the Love Word Shaker out of coral colored cardstock so I could add a darker shade of red ink to the edges. I used Festive Berries Distress Oxide for this. I didn’t blend the same ombre on the backing piece of the shaker, but instead splattered the red ink all over. I filled my shaker using a mix of 2 new shaker bit packs: the Love Shaker Beads and the Strawberry Valentine Mix. I love how these 2 match so well! 

I let those shaker bits decide the rest of my color palette. First, I brought in the pink by blending Tattered Rose Distress Oxide onto a panel I cut out using the XOXO Pierced Plate. I also splattered some Worn Lipstick Distress Oxide onto it.

I didn’t just want to have my shaker on a ‘plain’ background, so I also cut out 2 pieces of different Doily Borders to make a decorative border. I got some embroidery thread and weaved it across one of them to get a stitching effect. I adhered the more narrow border just below it for some added dimension.

The only color that was in the shaker bits that I hadn’t used yet was brown, so I picked out one of the many small word dies that are in this collection and cut it out of brown cardstock. I ended up going for the ‘Love’ from the Valentine Cake Pops because it perfectly matches the big LOVE and I really like the scripted font. 

And tadaaa, that’s the finished card! It seemed like I was gonna get a pretty simple card with a big shaker that takes up the majority of my card, but it ended up getting very detailed with all the small details I added.

Hello, Debbie here with a new adorable puppy bucket featuring products from the brand new Valentine’s Release! The whole release is absolutely adorable and I can’t stop making with all new products. 

First I started with the Candy Bucket dies from a previous release to make the puppy bucket. Then with the new Valentine Bucket Additions, die cut out  brown ears and the trim to the bucket. The eyes and nose were attached and the pink nose has Glossy accents on top of it.

 Next up was to make the Valentine Cake Pops with light, dark brown, red and pink card stock. Of course I had to add in some glitter card stock to the cake pops and the bows from the Valentine Cake Pops die set and the Love word from Valentine Bucket Additions. The bows were two colors and off set to add some interest. Once I laid out the bucket and cake pops I realized it needed to be a 5X7 card. 

Next was the panels, I started with a 5X7 pink card stock and did some creative cutting with new XOXO Pierced Plate. With having die cutting plates off set and moving around to make the XOXO matching up. Then die cutting out the largest Eyelet Rectangle Die from a white panel. I knew that it to have the width of the die being 4 inches. So the length will be 5 3/4 inches, partially die cut and then slide up and match up to finish the cut.

Adhere it all down to a red mat, pop up some of the hearts with foam squares. Final touch was adding the Marshmallow Pearls and Cherry Red Pearls to the center of the bows.

Hi friends, Debbie here! Today, I’m sharing a 5X7 traditional Christmas card with the new Holiday Wreath Builder Dies. Let me just say, this is an awesome die set! It is so big, and the way the dies have the three sizes of leaves together with the one die! Brilliant!

I started off die cutting out two times all of the dies from the new Stitched Snowflakes Dies. Arranging them evenly on the 5×7 card base, and attaching with liquid glue. I did add a little shimmer with Sparkle Silk and set to the side. 

Next, I die cut out all the sizes of leaves from the Holiday Wreath Builder from three shades of green card stock four times each to make sure to have a full wreath. I did do some ink blending on one side to give some depth to the leaves. Also I add white splatter to all the leaves and berries for a snow effect. The branch die is cut from White glitter card stock. 

Also wanting a red metallic bow I die cut out one from the Beautiful Bow Dies that was previously released. The bow was popped up with a foam square. The sentiment is from the new Large Joy Shadow Die, I did the Joy die not the shadow from a metallic gold card stock. Adhered with liquid glue to the center of the wreath and attach to the center of the Snowflake card base.

Hello Crafty Friends–Jill here and I’m excited to share a bit of fun with the brand new Pretty Pink Posh Release!

I had SNOW much fun creating this classic looking Holiday Card with the new Snowflake Shaker, Holly Jolly Shadow die and the Snowflakes stamp set! 

I wanted to use the Snowflake Shaker as a featured main element on a card and the Snowflakes Stamps are the perfect partner in black and white. Black & white with a splash of color is a classic look for any occasion and I especially love it for the Holidays!

I die cut the Holly Jolly Shadow die twice (once out of white cardstock and once out of black) and layered those together with a spray adhesive. Then I randomly stamped a white cardstock panel with all the different snowflakes in the Snowflakes stamp set with black ink. I recommend starting with the largest snowflakes and moving down to the smallest as you fill in the panel. I am a fan of the Snowflakes stamp set due to its plethora of stamps and array of snowflake sizes, making it easy to create your own background panel 1-2-3!

I die cut the Snowflake Shaker snowflake twice in a deep red cardstock. I stitched the top piece before gluing it to the second layer. By using two layers of cardstock and layering your design elements, it gives the in-person feel a little more heft. Wanting to create even more dimension, I added dimensional foam adhesive to the back of the snowflake to adhere it to the card base. I then added on the sentiment with liquid glue and voila–A holiday winter card ready to go!

This card could easily be mass produced by simply using one layer for the die cut elements and using your MISTI to create the snowflake panels. It would also be fun to mix up the colors of cardstock you use for the Snowflake Shaker die cut. The stitching details this die creates give this snowflake snow much added sweetness! 🙂
