Hearts Twofer

It's a very windy, and I mean windy day full of rain and gloom

and a perfect day to be in my creative room.

I have lots of things I should be working on

but decided since it is Sunday I could take the day off

and have a little fun with a challenge!

When I saw the new Twofer challenge was hearts

I immediately thought of a new Tutti Nesting die set I had

just received last week and created with that.

The first card I die cut 3 hearts and made them into birthday balloons.

I drew the strings on and a added a twine bow to 'tie' them together.

For the second card, using the same die, I cut four

and made this card into a Valentine....

the inside sentiment says 'everything'.

So that is my twofers for the challenge.

Supplies used for card #1:

Spellbinders HemStitch Oval

Lawn Fawn Wavy Banner Sayings & Die

Supplies used for Card #2:

Candy Hearts Embossing Folder

Flourishes Love Sweet Love Sentiment

For Both Cards:

Tutti Designs Nesting Cross Stitch Hearts

Thinking of You

Happy 2020!!

The 'sistahs' have returned to 

The Sisterhood of Crafters

with a new challenge  for 2020 and a fun theme of

'Thinking of You'

chosen and being hosted by our 'sistah' Debbie!!

I have a monster/huge stash of gorgeous design papers and
sometimes they just need to take center stage don't you think?

That's what I did today.
I love this beautiful paper from Anna Griffin
that has been sitting around forever!
It is The Rose Collection from 2016...yep THAT long!

I just added it to a black card base

then cut the 'thinking of you' from my very neglected Cricut!

I used a Sue Wilson die and popped up two little birdies.

I kind of like how this turned out and an easy mailer at that!

Make sure to visit at The Sisterhood as my 'sistah's have

created some very beautiful cards for inspiration!!

Fancy Heart Cat

This is my post on the Tutti Designs blog today.

Hi, Diane here with my first post of the new year.

Being a owner of several cats myself I really fell for this

adorable Fancy Hearted Cat die.

For the first card I used an embossed a background

then die cut my cat from white card stock.

The hearts were colored in with a red Copic.

The second card was just as quick as the die cut cat is such

a nice size that it takes center stage on the card front.

I used a tiny heart paper for the background

and a lace trim at the top.

I added little heart glitter stickers for a different look from the card above.

Happy New Year

Happy New Year!!!

Not only is it a new year, it is our first post for 2020 at

Dies R Us Challenges!!

 I used a new and I mean new 'hot off the press' die from Tutti Designs

and built my card around that...

I just couldn't resist!!

The die is Tutti Designs Bamboo Frame.

I die cut it then just placed it on a pretty designer paper...

pretty simple I know, but it should mail pretty easily.

I used Tutti Designs Happy Birthday words and a

Cheapo Dies Butterfly.

If you really want some reasonable butterfly dies

then this set is for you, I use them all the time as the sizes are just perfect

and it comes with four very pretty dies.!!

Celebrating FOUR Years At Double D

HAPPY NEW YEAR

It's a new year
it's a new challenge theme at Double D
AND
it is our 4th anniversary/birthday on the blog
and we are celebrating with 'PUNCH'!!
Meaning we want you to use a punch on your creations.

I got overly 'punchy' with my creation
and used a Martha Stewart floral vine punch
and 3 Stampin Up round punches (1 1/4, 1", 3/4").

I totally got my inspiration from Pinterest here.

I thought her card was so pretty and created one

by changing it up a bit.

This is a great way to use up some paper scraps too!!

I hope you will join us over at the

Double D Challenge blog

and be sure to visit to see all the fun and fabulous 'punch' designs from the teams!!
