Dies R Us #158 ~ Christmas

  Hello crafting friends.  It's here!  December is here, which means Christmas is just around the corner.  My favourite time of the year!!! Can you tell?  :-)

A new challenge begins today at Dies R Us, and in keeping with the most wonderful time of the year, our challenge is Christmas!! :-)


Challenge # 158 ~ Christmas

For my card today, I did a little cross stitching to make this beautiful Rudolph's head.
I love the way it came out, what do you think?




I find that a Z-fold is always easy, and always adds just that extra little bit of interest to a card.
The rest, as you can see, was very easy to put together, using the dies I listed below, and as always they are linked to the Dies R Us store, for your convenience.
Most of you already know this, but for those who don't, Dies R Us has special order events every so often. At these times you can purchase a variety of international dies such as Marianne Designs, Lea'bilities, Joy Crafts, and a few others.  The best way to know about these special order sales is to subscribe to the Dies R Us newsletter.  Sign up is on the front page of store's website.

I used Merry Christmas from Yvonne Creations which is currently out of stock.
But a great substitution would be Merry Christmas from Elizabeth Craft Designs.

Thank you so much for stopping by today and sharing a little bit 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. Visit our challenge blog, where my team mates showcase their creations to give you a little more inspiration.  Be sure to follow us on Facebook and Pinterest too.

Before I go, I'd like to remind you that Dies R Us' sister store,  Didi Crafts, is now open. It has warehouses located in the USA and Canada.  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!

Till next time,
stay safe and healthy!

All Aboard!

Hello  crafting friends. I'm still in Christmas mode, so today, for my Dies R Us DT project, I'd like to share the Christmas card I made for my grandson.  He's a great Mickey fan, so incorporating Mickey and his friends in this card design was a must  😀 




My little guy is 2 and a half years old and loves trains, especially the one that goes around the Christmas tree, so it was his love for the Christmas train that inspired me to make this card for him.
Since Karen Burniston has such amazing tutorial videos, I thought I would share this one with you on how to put this card together

In addition, here is the list of supplies I used, each linked to the Dies R Us store, for your convenience.
