Go Buck Wild!

Here at Die Cut Divas Hero Arts is our wonderful sponsor for February! It's going to be a FUN FOLD challenge with one of your favorite stamp companies for the month of February!

I'm so excited about the prize too - a $25 gift certificate to the winner!


Here is my project-





This is a Swing (Flip Flop) card. It about drove me nuts trying to figure out how it worked! Finally, I got it and made a good masculine birthday card. Lots of tutorials on You Tube if you would like to try one, and they are really different.

Here are the materials I used for this card-

  1. Image: Layered Deer (Hero Arts), stamped with Antique Linen, Gathered Twig, Walnut Stain Distress Oxides.
  2. Dies: Infinity Rectangles (Hero Arts).
  3. Sentiment: front (Oh Dear, Kelly Purkey @ Simon Says Stamps), back (Sassy Birthday-The Rabbit Hole), stamped with Walnut Stain DO.
  4. Border: ferns (Martha Stewart).

Be sure to make a fun fold card for a chance at that $25 gift certificate to Hero Arts!

Hero Arts and Fun Folds

Here at Die Cut Divas Hero Arts is our wonderful sponsor for February! It's going to be a FUN FOLD challenge with one of your favorite stamp companies for the month of February!

I'm so excited about the prize too - a $25 gift certificate to the winner!


Here is my project-

To be truthful, I had made two previous attempts at a card. This card I liked way better than the first two! This is a twisted Circular Circle Easel Card (there are many tutorials for this), one that can be used for many occasions. To make the stopper I scanned the nasturtium stamp and reduced it down to 75% of the original. Colored the flower I wanted with Prismacolor pencils (my computer ink and Copics do not mix) and fussy cut an image to make the stopper.

Here are the materials I used for this card-

  1. Image: Nasturtium (Hero Arts), colored with Copics. Stopper colored with Prismacolors.
  2. Dies: Nasturtium die (Hero Arts), Heart Circles, Big Scalloped Circles (Spellbinders).
  3. Sentiment: Easy Expressions stamp set, Easy Expressions Die (The Ton).
  4. Paper: all from my stash and unknown. 
  5. Other: Sakura Gelly Roll pen-Stardust, Zing gold embossing powder.
