Same style two cards with Die Versions

Hello my dear crafty friends and welcome to my new post made for Die Versions.

I made two very similar cards, with the same techniques and the totally different dies and as you can see much more totally different cards can be made with the same technique.

For the first card I die cut the Fence background from gold cardstock and stacked it to the double sided glue sheet.

Then I added a random glitter in three colors over the glue and got this fine glittered background that was added to the black basic cardstock card.

As a next step I die cut the Bird Bath  image from black cardstock and die cut it again. The second layer was covered with clear embossing ink and heat embossed with a thick layer of black embossing powder. I made the main image from both layers using 3d foam glue and glued the image over the card.

The stamped sentiment (Inspired by Stamping) was stamped over Martha Stewart sticker label and misted around with Tattered Angels mist.

The second card was done in the same way, but this time I used Bricks background die and Birdhouse branch  die.

I used another sentiment from the same stamp company and another sticker label.

I hope I have inspired you to create something fun today!  Please be sure to check back to the DV Blog often for more great ideas on how to use your dies!  And please share with us what you make on the DV Facebook Page.

Hello my dear crafty friends and welcome to my new Colorways post today!
Since Paper House Productions released those 3 new collections, I just add more and more projects made with those delicious papers and stickers and this new layout is not an exception.
This is my lovely granddaughter Netta again and because of this blue photo background it was just  a must to scrap this photo with PHP Colorways Sapphire line.
Actually it's a totally PHP  layout and the only things that is not PHP  products are some punches and a basic white cardstock.

Step by step instructions:
1. Trim Dahlia paper to 11 1/2*11 1/2'' size; ink the edges with teal ink and glue it over the white cardstock a bit diagonally (as shown). Cut 2 strips from Spanish tiles paper and punch the edges with scalloped punch.Glue one strip horizontally and one vertically as shown over the previous striped paper.
2. Add an inked strip from  Dahlia paper ( this is the strip we cut to make the paper layer; just keep it and ink it )over the dotted blue strip from the previous step. Cut a strip of Delft paper (the dark side) and punch the circles with another scalloped punch. Glue the strip over the horizontal strips.  Cut 2 more strips from  Trimmings paper and glue them over the vertical dotted strip.
3. Make a big matting from light blue dotted      paper; ink the edges, make the binding edge punched side and glue it over the layout as shown. Add a  piece of cork as a second matting layer. Over the cork make 3 more paper mattings using Delft paper and a couple of cards from Mini Trim cards paper.
4. Glue the photo over all matting layers. Add SWEET SMILE puffy words over the strips as shown.
Add all cork stickers over the photo.
5. Make the upper corner cluster with some paper leftovers, one die cut flag and a small arrow cork sticker.Add some rub- on  arrows over the flag die cut.  Mist the whole layout with a bit of teal mist. Glue the die cut word Magic over the photo.Make your handwriting journalling on the " spare" white space around  the white cardstock. This is what I added here: " My name is Netta. I am 1 year old I am happy! I am a girl in blue! So what?"

Just because lo

Page intro:

Making toddler's pages with " adult" products can be a great challenge. Masking it with 10 things list could be even bigger challenge. So I was challenged twice and I think the final result is pretty good. I used Canvas Corp products  that by chance were a good fit to my darling 4 years old grandson's photo and stayed with this blue- Kraft- red , black and white colors and boy embellishments and I made a great list with ten things I love about this age of innocence. You are invited to read it and I think it's universal! All four years old are good and believe in fairy tales. I just want them to stay that way forever!
