Seed Packet card

 

Welcome to Pink and Main as sponsors of
Die Cut Divas' Challenge.

The Prize is a $25 gift card

Our theme for October is Shaped Cards!  

We have included box cards in the Shaped Cards category.

Here is my card-

This card was made with the Pink & Main Flower Seed Packet Dies that Linda Wetterlin was so kind to send me.Very easy to put together! And, as usual, the papers I used for the background and the seed packet were from my scrap stash. The gems are some I've had for years, along with the Sakura Gellyroll Star Dust pen to highlight the flowers. The sentiment is from Spellbinders Better Press Collection called Natures Botanical Garden (which is discontinued but still available online).

Truckin' Along

Welcome to Pink and Main as sponsors of
Die Cut Divas' Challenge.

The Prize is a $25 gift card

Our theme for October is Shaped Cards!  

We have included box cards in the Shaped Cards category.

Here is my card-

 I have to thank my team mate Linda Wetterlin for the die cuts! This one is the Pink & Main Pop up Truck and made it a shaped card. Since I make a lot of cards for men, this one is perfect for my birthday card stash. I inked the edges of the truck to give it a little depth, and made the present in the truck bed with scraps and a Frantic Stamper bow die.

and a pic of the recycled items-

 

This is one of the neatest things I've ever recycled! See that green panel? That was a tissue box that I've been saving for years, and this was the perfect place to use it. The ornaments just seemed to lift off the panel.  Here is the material list for this card-

I've had this stamp for a couple of years, and finally put it together for the first time! This is a wayyyyy old (2015) stamp set called "Big Mouth Cat" from Artistic Impressions. All of the papers are scrap (which to me is recycling, because scraps usually end up in the recycle bin). 

 

This will go to my brother for his birthday-because he has a 20+ pound orange cat named Grady. Here is a list of materials-

• Artistic Impression Big Mouth Cat stamp.
• Scrap paper-white, black, green striped (one has thick stripes, the other thin).
• Memento Ink, Copics.
• Stamps: Lawn Fawn, Push Pull set. My Favorite Things, Itty Bitty Birthday.
• Dies: Lawn Fawn, Really High Five die.
• Embossing Folder: balloons were embossed with Cuttlebug Dotted Chevrons.
• Other: black twine for balloon strings.

Here is my project-

 

  

 

We have a friend that I give Christmas cards to that just loves when she can use the ornaments I decorate her card with. Since our challenge is "white on white, with a splash of color", I chose green for my accent. I also wanted enough clear gems to reflect the Christmas lights on the tree. Here is a list of materials I used on this card-

• Pinpoint Radial Cover Die
• Radiant Ornament Layer Set 
• Handwritten Merry Christmas and outline die
• Trinity Stamps Boiled Sugar Drops (Discontinued)

Remember-use all white with a splash of color with those dies or embossing folder! Enter for a chance at a great prize! 

 

 

 

 

Time for a Beer

 

 July Sponsor: Waffle Flower
Too Hot?  Make it Feel Like Christmas!  Our challenge theme is: Christmas In July.

The Prize: $15 gift card

 Here is my card-

I decided to make a drinking card for Christmas. I get too stressed by all the hoopla around the holidays, so a beer makes me a little mellower and less of a flight risk. This card was simple to make! The Waffle Flower Home Brew die set has a lot of different glasses, bottles, and containers for beer. The plaque also is in that set. The funny thing is I used the same background paper on both my cards this month! I made an A7 card for these elements but didn't like the proportions I got, so I put it on the A2 card base. The A7 card got the Christmas doggie, which was a much better fit. The growler did get Christmas lights from a Little B die set called Holiday.

Believe in Santa Paws

 

 July Sponsor: Waffle Flower
Too Hot?  Make it Feel Like Christmas!  Our challenge theme is: Christmas In July.

The Prize: $15 gift card

 Here is my card-

This was really simple to make. I used Waffle Flowers Be A Dog and Be Christmas Accessories dies for the pup, and Poppystamps die for the Believe in Santa Paws sentiment. I added googly eyes (I mean, why not?) for some extra added fun, along with some glitter gems for the snowflakes. This will be great for the dog lovers in our family!
