Shopping Bag Shaker Card

Kimberly, one of my very crafty Trendy Twine DT sisters, had a birthday earlier this week and she challenged us to create a girly birthday card and use sequins.  So here mine is!

I decided to create a shopping bag shaker card, because a girl loves to shop, right?!!  I used DCWV's Dear Jane stack of paper.  To tie the tag on the bag, I used Watermelon Taffy Trendy Twine.

 The bag, perfume bottles and the white flourish dies are all from Top Dog Dies.

I hope you have a wonderfully crafty day!

Fun Birthday Card

So I wanted to try out something a little different with the Laurel Lace Border Die that I received from Top Dog Dies.  I wanted to see if I could just create an edge on a piece of paper instead of making a separate border like the die is intended to do.  Guess what...it worked!  I simply stopped rolling my Big Shot before it reached the end of the die and then reverse rolled it back out.  This is what I created with it.

 A very fun and bright birthday card!  I used the Sunday Afternoon stack by DCWV and the stamp is from My Craft Spot's Chalkboard Sentiments set.  The twine wrapped around the top is Trendy Twine's Tickled with Teal.

Here is a closeup of that beautiful bottom edge!

I hope you have a wonderfully crafty day!

Feminine Purse Card

I am still so happy that I was chosen to be a guest designer for Top Dog Dies! They were so generous to send me dies to play with and boy oh boy did I go a little die crazy!  I used 6 die sets on this card :)

The base of the card is made from the Purse Pocket Card Die.  Then I simply cut a strip of cardstock and wrapped it around the card like a belly band.  Next I pleated some yellow rumpled ribbon and adhered it to the base of that band.  Then I used Bottles #1 and Bottles #2 die sets with solid cardstock to make the perfume bottles on the front.  I popped them up with foam dots.  I hand cut a tag for the sentiment and attached it to the bottle with twine.  The corner flourishes are from the Leafy Flourishes Die Set and I added three flowers to the top one for accents.

The inside pulls out of the card as seen below.

For inside I layered cream and gray cardstock for the base and then added the Laurel Lace Border Die to the back at the top.  The embellishments at the bottom are cut from the Decorative Corner Die Set.

I used DCWV's Sunday Afternoon stack for all of the patterned cardstock in this project.  The sentiments are from the Girlie Sayings stamp set by My Pink Stamper.

Top Dog Dies Rainbow Birthday Card and Giveaway!

I am so blessed to be a guest designer for Top Dog Dies and they sent me such beautiful dies to work with.  If you aren't familiar with their company, here is a little bit about them. Top Dog Dies is a new online store that offers their own brand of wafer-thin and steel-rule dies, along with dies from brands you already know and trust, including Little B, Lawn Fawn, Taylored Expressions, Savvy Stamps and Cheery Lynn Designs. Top Dog Dies is also the leading U.S. retailer for Tattered Lace, a new line of intricate dies designed by British designer Stephanie Weightman.

Without further ado, here is what I created with their gorgeous Laurel Lace die.

I cut 6 colors of BoBunny double dot paper with the die and adhered them to the card base in rainbow order.  Then I wrapped Trendy Twine in coordinating colors around each border layer to add a little extra flair!  The sentiment is from Whimsy Stamps.

Head on over to the Top Dog Die blog to see what I created for that post!  It used SIX dies!  Here is a sneak peak of it...
