Birthday Card with Some Must Have NBUS

I saw the newest Tattered Lace magazine with this purse die and immediately had to order it! Then when I received it late last week, I immediately had to make a card with my NBUS (Never Before Used Schtuff.) I started with a circular card base die cut with my Tonic Studios circle dies and on the front circle I die cut a Pinhole Circle border (also from Tonic Studios.) I die cut the gorgeous purse out of red mirror card and a few accents out of black mirror card. I raised a couple of the "leaves" for decoration. The sentiment is from another must have set I recently purchased from Gina K. I took two of the red mirror pieces that fall out from the top of the purse when die cut and added them to the top and bottom of the circular card to complete the card.

I am entering this card in the Happy Birthday with a die challenge at Dies R Us and the Create your Own challenge at 613 Avenue Create. (I chose shaped, birthday, metallic.

Guest DT at Scrapy Land Feminine Birthday Card

I am very happy to participate again this week as a Guest Designer at Scrapy Land which is one of my favorite challenge blogs. The theme of this challenge is Anything Goes as long as you use at least one of the die brands Scrapy Land sells. Here is a list of the over 40 different brands Scrapy Land carries.

I created this feminine birthday card with a new die from Tattered Lace called Double Delights. I die cut two and attached them to a square black card base. I die cut Happy Birthday from Memory Box out of the same paper, but then smoothed on Tonic’s Nuvo Mother of Pearl Mousse. Then I added some black dots with Nuvo Ebony Black Crystal Drops. I attached some pretty yellow roses to complete the card.

Why don’t you pull out your favorite dies and create a card for this challenge? The prize is a $15 Scrapy Land gift certificate and you know you can find something great you want there!

I am entering this card in the Anything Goes challenges at Simon Says Stamp Wednesday Challenge,  613 Avenue Create and Craft Your Passion.
