Nautical Wishes

Welcome back DRU fans.  Today, I am sharing a masculine nautical card. I love all things beach themed and decided to turn it into a card.  I hope you take a second and stop by the Dies R Us store because there are SO MANY GOODIES!

This one was pretty simple to put together, and it's partly because of the Marianne Designs dies! They turn any project into an effortless masterpiece. 

Here is the inside of the card with the birthday wishes!

Halloween Set of Cards!

Hello y'all!

I am so excited to be one of the newest DT member's here at Dies R Us! 

Today, I am sharing a card set I made for Halloween. They were quick to put together, but have such a cool effect. I personally love creating backgrounds with the Memento Inks because you can create so many different scenes!

My first step was to cut out a circle to use it as a mask to create the moon!

I created my scene with the colors from light to dark - Sweet Plum, Grape Jelly, Elderberry, Paris Dusk, London Fog, Tuxedo Black - 

My next step was to use my Cut 'n' Boss to cut out all my different dies. Once those were cut, I assembled it to the card and placed the witch over the moon. I used some scrap yellow cardstock to place behind the pumpkins and the haunted house - just to give it a little PIZAZZ! 

 I run an LA Based Fashion Company and have a few girls with subscriptions boxes! These were the cards I created to put in their subscription boxes this month! The little ghosts were actually part of a Halloween Party Paper Cut out set.
