Feather Thank You Card

Today's project features this beautiful feather die from Die-namics and Dylusions Ink Spray from Ranger.

Feathers and chevrons are really popular in scrapbooking right now, and I decided to combine the two to create this lovely thank you card featuring the colours of the season.

I love how the orange and black worked out here to create a nice autumn colour palette but doesn't lean toward Halloween. Funny enough, two of the papers I used for this card are from Halloween paper packs, but I think they were generic enough to work on this project! Let me know what you think in the comments below!

Supplies:

Paper - K&Company and miscellaneous Halloween paper stack
Cardstock - Bazzil
Dies - Die-namics (feather) and Tim Holtz/Sizzix - (Plaque & Poster edge die)
Dylusions Ink Spray - Pure Sunshine, Squeezed Orange and Tangerine Dream
Stamps - Just Rite and Hot off the Press
Ink - Colorbox, Versafine and Stampin' Up
Hemp Twine

Ho Ho Holiday Tag Week: Day 1

Hi Friends!  The Scrapbooking Cafe DT has something special to share with you this week. All week long we are going to be sharing Christmas Tag ideas with you!

I'm first up and I have a fun tag to share with you that I made using Echo Park's This & That Christmas Collection

I started off with a piece of white cardstock that I embossed with a stripy folder. You could use the Candy Cane embossing folder from Cuttlebug. I layered bits and pieces from the Echo Park kit on top. I added a die cut of the smaller doily from the Doily Duo by Die-namics

I finished off the tag with some red bakers twine, some buttons and a big fun bow! You could use this tag on a card, a layout or use it as a gift tag on a special package...it could even hang on your tree like an ornament!

That is all for me today, but make sure you stop by every day this week for some great taggy inspiration just in time for the holiday.

Merry Christmas!

Stars and circles

Hi everyone! Dani Donner here today bringing you a fun card done using the Die-namics Stacking Stars die and some Studio Calico papers. We had quite a few birthday parties around here lately and we all know what that means, right? No... Not a few extra pounds due to eating cake (I'm trying to erase those thoughts off of my mind). I mean cards! Yes, I had to increase my card production (which is close to zero...) to keep up with all the boys presents I had to hand out this month. As I keep saying, I'm not a card maker...

I have to say that those dies are PERFECT for little boy's cards:

A 1 1/8 inches circle from the Classic Circle Small Spellbinder to create the niche on top and some splatters with the lovely Perfect Pearls Mist Sour Apple and it was done.

The 8 year old boy who got it thought it was really cool card! (he told me so...) So I consider this a Mission Accomplished!

Thanks or stopping by!

You are Amazing - birthday card

Hi, everyone! Dani here to share a fun card I made for my oldest son. Yesterday was his 8th birthday (where on Earth did time go?) and I couldn't resist the urge of making him a funky card.

I have seen this technique over on Pinterest (I'm slightly addicted, I'll admit) and was DIEing to try it. So... Scrapbooking Cafe Online helped me there, :)

 So for this one I used my Die-namics Chevron Stripes die, I die-cut many stripes of different papers from the super awesome Jillibean Soup Macho Nacho collection, glued them one after the other on a piece of cardstock then cut it in stripes every time the chevron would "change course". After that, I glued them down on a different piece of cardstock, but making them uneven (the pattern paper would be one chevron up it's match).

I finished up with some twine lollypops and a cool die-cut from the Macho Nacho. Voilà! A fun card for a fun little wait not that little anymore, OMG I'm getting old! boy!!!

Thanks for stopping by!

thank you

Happy Labor Day Monday friends! Being that it is a long weekend I just wanted to share a quick little project today. I need to send a thank you card so I just whipped this up. I love the bright fun colours in the Happy Days Collection from Echo Park.

 I mixed up the patterns with some fun banners and added a little strip of washi tape. I love combining many different patterns and textures on my projects.

I framed the cards sentiment with the small doily from the Decorative Doily Duo and tied some bakers twine through the holes.
