Dies R Us #197 ~ Madonna

 
Hello and welcome to another challenge, starting today, at Dies R Us.
Christmas in July is when my Christmas fun begins.  It's all about Christmas from now on, taking a little bread for Halloween and Thanksgiving.  I've already spent a few hours going thru the stores admiring all the new Christmas decor that has come out for this year, while humming Christmas songs in my head. 😀



Challenge #197 ~ Anything Goes
(as long as you use a die that is sold at Dies R Us)




If you enjoy paper piecing then this Madonna die is the die for you. I cut it out of white, blue, beige, and gold cardstocks. Using the white as my base, I paper pieced the other colours. I think it's beautiful.  I didn't want the focus to be taken away from this die, so I went looking thru all my background dies and frames and thought that this Ice Flower Frame would be perfect.  Just paper pieced a few gold stars as accents and my card was done.  If you're running short on time and need to mass produce, this is easy, simple and beautiful, in my opinion anyway 😀

Here are the couple of dies I used.  I linked them to the Dies R Us store for your convenience.


Well, that is it for today. Thanks so much for stopping by and spending a little of your day with me.  I hope I was able to inspire you to create a project, and  play along with us at the Dies R Us Challenges for your chance to win a gift certificate to the Dies R Us Store.  A new challenge begins on the 1st and 15th of each month.  There is a prize to be won with every challenge, you could be the lucky winner! If you have a minute, please visit our challenge blog, where my team mates showcase their creations to provide you with some wonderful inspiration.  Be sure to follow us on Facebook and Pinterest too.  


And don't forget to visit our sister store, Didi Crafts.  It has warehouses in the US and Canada. This means that our Canadian friends no longer have to worry about huge taxes or expensive shipping fees.  It has some products that are the same as Dies R Us, but in addition, it carries international dies,  and other crafty supplies for a variety of crafts.  Go take a peek and be pleasantly surprised!
