Think Spring!

 Deanna here with a Spring inspirational post for the Dies R Us blog.  Here is what I have for you today.

I started with yellow card stock that I cut and folded to make a 4 1/4" X 5 1/2" landscape style card.  I added a black mat cut at 4" X 5 1/4" and then the patterned paper mat cut at 3 3/4" X 5".  I love the little clouds on the patterned paper and thought they went with the whimsy of the bird houses.  The birdhouses were cut from the Tutti Designs Birdhouse Garden die.

Be sure to use your Tutti Design adapter plate when cutting this die.  It makes it so much easier to get a clean cut and to remove the image from the die.

I adhered all the layers together and attached the die cut image to the front of my card using some liquid adhesive.  To finish the card I added some enamel dots from the Nuvo Crystal Gloss Drops in Dandelion Yellow on the front of the card to add some additional interest.

We Flamin-go Together

Hey everyone, Deanna here with a fun project using the recently released dies from Lawn Fawn.  I used the new Flamingo Together Dies and stamps.  Here is what I have for you.

I started by stamping out the flamingos on watercolor paper.  I colored the flamingos with my Zig Clean Color Clear Brush Markers..  Next I stamped the palm trees and the trunks of the trees using Rich Cocoa and Cottage Ivy Memento ink.

Now it was time to bring out the dies..  Using the dies from the Flamingo Together die set, I cut out the trees, trunks and the Flamingos.

My sun rays are from a piece of patterned paper by Bo Bunny.  I cut my waves from an older die I had on hand. However, Impression Obsession has a great wave die you can use.  I used the Lawn Fawn Simple Stitched Hillside border dies to create my sand. I inked the edges of my "sand" using some Old Paper distress Ink.

After adhering all of my pieces together I attached it to a 4 1/4" X 5 1/2" white card stock card base.  I then stamped my sentiment from the stamp set with some Memento Rich Cocoa ink.
