October's Challenge at CCAYR - Angels or Nativity

Hello and welcome to October's challenge at 

 Christmas Crafts All Year 'Round

October Challenge ~ Angels or Nativity

Prize: Please see the CCAYR blog for prize details.

If you're a follower of my blog then you know that I love stitching on cards and I think I found the perfect pattern to showcase this beautiful decoupage angel.  What do you think?

As always, I struggled to get a good pic of the gold details on the angel. But to go with them, I used gold embroidery floss as well as gold mirror card stock as a mat for the stitched card.

Crafty Ingredients:

Card base - 5.5" x 5.5" - white - Recollections 

Gold Mirror card stock - Marianne Design 

Angel Image - Hearty Crafts - Angels 

Memento Summer Sky ink to shade the background 

Christmas wishes stamp - Great Impression Stamps 

Holly stamp - Stampabilities

  

Thanks so much for stopping by today.  I'c love for you to create a project and join in the fun by linking it to our blog at Christmas Crafts All Year 'Round 

You have till the end of the month to link your projects.

Till next time,

Masculine Birthday Card

Hello and welcome back.  It's my turn today to post a project on the Dies R Us Inspiration Blog.   This this project, I made a very easy and simple to put together masculine birthday card.

Just a few dies, some glue, a few gems and voila, card was done.  My wine bottle focal image is from a Hearty Crafts pack that I received as a gift.  However, if you'd like to create your own, the Wine Gear die set from Frantic Stamper is a must to have in your stash of dies :-)

I cut out two of the Square Flowers Frame, from Precious Marieke, in burgundy as I was going for the red wine look for my card. Then cut a few of the grape bunches and grape leaves from Tiny's Vines by Marianne Designs, and used them to decorate the frame.  Lastly, I added a few gems and stamped my greeting.

Remember that every so often, Dies R Us runs a big sale on international dies. During these times, you'll find dies from companies such as Marianne Designs, Lea'bilities, and Joy Crafts among others. The best way to know about these fabulous sales is to subscribe to the Dies R Us Newsletter.  

As always, here is a  quick guide to the crafty supplies used,

 each linked to the Dies R Us store for your convenience.

And that was that!  The result was a simple masculine birthday card that only took me about 20 minutes to put together, but looks great to send to my brother for his 50th birthday. I hope you enjoyed your visit and that I was able to inspire you to use your dies, create a project, and come play along with us at the Dies R Us Challenge Blog for your chance to win a gift voucher to the Dies R Us Store.  A new challenge begins on the 1st and 15th of every month.  Be sure to follow us on Facebook and Pinterest too.
