Stitched Scallop Arch Dies

Bring On the Cake!

| marialrussell

Hello LDRS Creative friends!  I am so glad to be here to share another project showcasing the Party Time Tails Stamp Set and coordinating dies.  This stamp set pairs perfectly well with the About Birthday Collage 4×6 Stamp Set.

My idea for this card is to create something simple!  The image is so beautiful that it doesn’t really need anything else!  I created the colorful “arch” background by using the Arches Spotlight Stencil and combining two of my favorite hybrid inks: Banana Cream Pie and Little Boy Blue!  

After ink-blending, I used the Stitched Scallop dies to die-cut the background and another blue cardstock!  Both are adhered to a 4 x 5 1/4 card base, with the focal point foam-mounted for more dimension!  I also foam-mounted the cute image and adhered a few yellow stars using the Starry Sky Border Die for added interest.

Lastly, I stamped the sentiment using the About Birthday Collage 4×6 Stamp Set!  This is such a simple card, but I really love how it turned out!  Every time I create projects, I like to mix and match old and new products to create cute designs.

I hope you all have a great day, and thanks for stopping by!  Happy crafting!

Customizing A Halloween Card Kit with LDRS Creative

| marialrussell

Hello LDRS Creative friends and family!  Have you ever bought a card kit and didn’t know how to customize it to make it stand out?  I absolutely ADORE the new Cozy Halloween Card Kit, and will show you 3 different ways to customize it.

For my first card, I also used the Stitched Scallop Arch Dies to create a simple Halloween card:

Adding a few layers of die-cuts and foam adhesive gives this card a lot of dimension.  I also used the Rub-On Transfer Sheet that is included in the Card Kit to add the bats!  How cute are they?!

The second card also features the Mixed Scallop Rectangle Die with the Rounded Rectangle Frames.

The Halloween Card Kit has everything you need to create one-of-a-kind cards!  

For my last project, I gave the card more texture by adding the Gilt Eyelash Trim with some Washi Tape. 

This card is really simple, but I really love how it turned out!

Can you tell me which one is your favorite?  I hope you guys found my ideas helpful and like my 3 cards today.   The supplies used are linked within the context of the post.  Thanks for stopping by, and happy crafting! XO!
