Out of this World

Hello all

I hope you take a second and stop by the Dies R Us store because there are SO MANY GOODIES! 

Today, I am sharing a card I made with a galaxy theme!

Its just in my nature to make everything sparkly, and pink! So, generally I have a tough time making masculine cards. However these two sets from Karen Burniston made it so easy!

For this base, I started out with a slight shimmer navy card stock. I then used regular white cardstock to create my galaxy base. This was created with Adirondack inks. If you've never played around with these, you ought to because they are so much fun!

So, once the galaxy background was created. I got to work cutting out  my dies! Karen Burniston makes assembly so easy with her You Tube videos! So that's what I used, to assemble this card together. I, did however switch the rocket to pop up the side of the card, instead of the bottom. 

The ring around the space ships, were actually die cut with washi tape!

Santa is Coming to Town!

Hello all, Samantha here!

I hope you take a second and stop by the Dies R Us store because there are SO MANY GOODIES! 

Today, I am sharing a card I made for Christmas. This one was so much fun to make - a bit more involved than what I normally do but so worth it!

This was made with non-traditional Christmas colors, but I also thought it'd be perfect for a little girl!

I used a Kraft Card base, patterned paper I got from Hobby Lobby some time ago, and of course NUMEROUS supplies you can find at Dies R Us!

I adore all of Karen Burniston's products and was able to combine a few of them to make this cute card! In this one I used the Train Pop Up Set, Train Elements, and the Twist Panel Pop Up. The other thing I love about Karen's products is the nifty YouTube Tutorial she has with everyone! You can view the ones to complete this set here!

A Unicorn Christmas!

Hello all, Samantha here!

I hope you take a second and stop by the Dies R Us store because there are SO MANY GOODIES! 

Today, I am sharing a card I made for Christmas. It's got a Unicorn, and sparkle and glitter! It's for my daughter, and right up her ally with all the *BLING*

Lately, I just can't create a card without using my memento inks! Have I mentioned how much I love them?? 

I started this card with one of my newest die and stamp set by Lawn Fawn  called  Winter Unicorn Die and Winter Unicorn Stamps.

This card, also gave me the opportunity to bust out my copics! It's been a while since I've gotten to play with those. I decided to use a teal, purple, and pink combo for the unicorn.

Although this exact snowflake border is not in the store - this one is amazing, and will be purchased for myself in the very near future!

To stick the snowflake border back on to the card, I used BRIGHT magenta glitter washi tape!




To finish off the card, I created my own scalloped wave (Just by cutting it into a scrap piece of paper) and used Sweet Plum and Grape Jelly Memento Inks to create this "mystical clouds" background.

The stamp set also comes with a cute tiny heart and star stamp that I used to stamp over the "clouds" to finish off my background. I used the Thermoweb Adhesive Foam Squares to make my little unicorn pop!

Inspirational Fall card

Hey ya'll!

Today, I am sharing a card I made with an inspiration saying and fall themed! Being in southern Texas, we don't get much of a "fall" - I mean is middle of October and our high today was 90 degrees!

 Although this might not qualify as CAS, it's CAS for me! Have I mentioned how much I love Memento Inks?? 

I started this card with one of my newest dies by Penny Black, the Fall Leave Squares and immediately thought of SO MANY things you could do with this! However, I landed on this idea. 

If you're anything like me you have some tiny scraps of paper that you just can't throw out because they're too pretty! WELL, I'm here to tell you that these are PERFECT for those tiny pieces. I cut each pattern paper at 1 1/4 in x 1 1/4 in.

I chose the Avery Elle Sentimental too stamp & die set because I JUST LOVE those fanciful words you can use to go across the card.
