In The Red Challenge

Today at The Sisterhood of Crafters
our hostess is Terri and she has chosen the challenge theme of
'In The Red'

For my card I pulled out the cutest little dress die
which I have actually used before but not quite for some time.
I think my like of this die takes me back to my paper doll days.
It's a fun die you can make all kinds of cute girlie cards with!

Because the die has three different dress pieces,

 I was able  to cut the skirt in a couple of small print scrap papers.

the hanger was cut from metallic scraps.

I added a sticky back paper to the pretty Tonic die I used,

then sprinkled the openings with SNS Fire Engine Red glitter.

The sentiment is an oldie from my stamp drawer.

If you want to see more pretty red cards

then head on over to 

The Sisterhood 

and see all the pretty things my 'sistahs' have created!

Hi, Diane with you today with a fun and new die
'Lucky'

I started with a print from Crafty Secrets I had in my stash...
I think she is the perfect image with her Irish Setter
to use with the die cut word Lucky.

I framed the image with Dotted Nesting Squares

layering one under the other.

I coated the lucky die cut with glue the sprinkled it heavily with

Shamrock glitter....

just in time for St Patrick's Day!!

Pop Up Box Card

our challenge theme is 'Pop Up Box Card'
or as some may call it 'Card In A Box'.
Which ever name, it is still the same and still as fun!!

Here is an excellent tutorial and video if you want to make one of your own!

My box card was made entirely from a paper pad
(other then the card base).
I used the Mintay Papers I just purchased in a 6x6 pad called 'Kiddie'...
it is so CUTE!!

Using the papers I fussy cut all the cute little images out.

I wish you could see this IRL as it is so detailed!

It folds up totally flat to mail in a larger envelope.

The designer paper is double sided and very sturdy to hold the images well.

'X'tra Bling Alphabet Challenge

Today at the Alphabet Challenge we are to the letter
'X' and that means our challenge is to add
'X'tra bling...a little play on words LOL!

I had the perfect die for this challenge.
It's the 'Stacked LOVE' die from Cheapo dies.
I really, really like this die.

Here is the die cut before I added all the bling to the cut out circles.

Here is the die with all the bling added...pretty fun!

I also added a few bling-y glitter hearts...
and thought it would be fun to add the word 'YOU'!
The paper is from Authentique Beloved pad.

Get your sunglasses and head on over to our
X-TRA BLING
