Hello Dare 2B Atrzy friends!!  Happy Friday!!

Kendra here from Luv 2 Scrap N Make Cards to share a super fun card with you!!

As many of you know, I love creating shaker cards!!  When I got the lovely Wacky Box Background Die I just HAD to create a shaker card with it!!

I absolutely LOVE how it turned out!!  It was a total ‘Happy Dance’ moment!!

I die cut the Wacky Box Background Die from a piece of white cardstock, which I kept for my base and added a piece of acetate behind to create my shaker card window.  I then used the die to die cut from a dark purple and light purple cardstock as well as from a piece of Wild Orchid paper.  I randomly placed pieces back into the background until I liked how it looked!

I then added foam to the back side and added a sequins mix I created!  I then adhered a piece of white cardstock to finish off my shaker portion and added to my dark purple card base.

I finished off the card by adding the die cut ‘hello’ sentiment from the Hello Tag Die set. 

Isn’t it fun?!

Hello Dare 2B Artzy friends and fans. Michelle Houghton here this fine January morning with a little creative inspiration for you. Lots of D2BA news so let’s get to that first!

There is a brand new monthly challenge going on this month we are looking for inspiration from our favorite seasons. Make sure to enter for your chance to win some Dare 2B Artzy goodies.

There will be new products coming out! Later this month you will start seeing sneak peeks and they will all be available February 1st.

Dare 2B Artzy will be at Creativation later this month as well. If you are attending be sure to drop by booth 561 to wave hello!

OK I think that was the list of the items to be reported woosh! On with the art and inspiration. Today I have a video link to the latest video up over at Dare 2B Artzy’s YouTube channel hope you will have a little time to stop by and check it out.

 

One of my favorite things about the Dare 2B Artzy papers is the decorative trim on every piece. Might as well use those up as well right? This technique could be used to create other shapes and you could use paper scraps instead of the end tabs of the paper so a lot of versatility to this one.

Here is a look at the completed card (spoiler alert is is a holiday card):

Thanks so much for dropping by today, I hope your holiday season was full of laughter, family, friends and relaxation!

Have a Happy Colorful Day!

Good morning Dare 2B Artzy Friends!

Tasha here sharing my first Valentine’s Day themed card for the year created with the super cute Squirrel Stamp set !

The two cute squirrel images were colored with markers and added to a ombre heart background to give a fun Valentine’s look. I love the sweet little critter with the bow and flower and just had to add a little pink to her tail; too cute!

The sentiment “I’m Nuts about You!” was added to the bottom of the card and I used this block lettering to add in more fun colors; I love colorful sentiments!

Lastly, layers of dark purple cardstock framed the design and light pink glitter paper adds a pretty shimmer to complete the card.

Thank you so much for stopping by and I hope you are inspired to create some fun Valentine’s Day cards using the New Squirrel stamp set. Also, if you are attending “Creativation” this year, be sure to check out Dare 2B Artzy at booth #561 to see all the fun new products and artzy inspiration!

Have a wonderful day!

-Tasha

Hi all, it’s Vicki here from All I Do Is Stamp.  It’s my first post of 2019 with Dare 2B Artzy.  As with a lot of us,  I needed a thank you card.  So, here it is;

I used the Power of Flowers stamp set, along with the [perfect for this needed card] Thanks Layered Die.

I water colored the flowers, and used some of the fabulous in-house designer paper from the Summertime Petals Collection.

That’s it for today.  I’ll be back in a couple of weeks with another post.

Love You Owl-ways

Welcome Dare 2B Artzy fans!!  Karen here from Craftily Yours!

Seems like Christmas was yesterday and Valentine’s Day is tomorrow!  I’ve created this fun Valentine using the Hoot Hoot Stamps.

The owl is so sweet!  He’s colored with Copic E41, E42, E43, RV52, RV55 and YR14.  The paper is from the beautiful  Summertime Petals Paper Collection.

The owl was die cut using the Hoot Owl Die set.  Here’s a close-up:

Happy Friday!  It’s Melody from Handmade Card Happiness and Instagram!
Today’s card features the amazing Cuckoo Clock Stamp Set from Dare 2B Artzy!

This versatile set has two clock images, stamps that can be used to make a Christmas card, and sentiments for many occasions.

After stamping the cuckoo clock with Dare 2B Artzy’s Totally Black Ink, I colored the image with the following Copic marker combinations: (BG13, BG05, BG09), (YR09, R08, E19), (Y02, Y18, V22), (C00, C1, C3), (R14, R29, R46), and (B00, B02).  Cutting out the image was a breeze with the Cuckoo Die!

Accents were added with Nuvo Glitter Gloss and Glossy Accents.
The circle was die cut using the D2BA Circle Framelits and then stamped with the other clock image from the Cuckoo Clock Set.  Next, this very important sentiment was stamped!  I am trying this year to take time to do some things that make my soul happy, and I hope you are doing the same!

The beautiful Bizzy Blooms paper from the Honey Blooms Collection Paper Pack was die cut using the stitched rectangle from the Leaf Background Die.

After taking time to do some things that make your soul happy, I hope you will enter Dare 2B Artzy’s January Challenge.

You can enter your fun projects HERE!  As you know, there is a prize for the randomly selected winner!

I hope you have a wonderful weekend!
Happy stamping!
Melody

Dear Dare 2B Artzy Friends,

It is Pam sharing on the blog today!

Today is a bitter sweet day for me!  It is my last post as a Dare 2B Artzy team designer.  I have been with Cindi and Kendra since August 2017.  I have loved working with both of these ladies and my design team members.  The Dare 2B Artzy products are fabulous and always so unique.  I will continue to follow my friends at Dare 2B Artzy and of course look forward to seeing all of the new release products!

Today I am using the fun stamp set Stinkin Happy for my card today.

 Design Steps:

1.  Use an A2 white card base then cut a slightly smaller piece of red card stock and run it through a heart embossing folder.  Glue the red to the with card base

2.  I had these small note cards and envelops so I added the DP to the note card front and glue dotted the ribbon to the little card

3.  Mount the envelope at an angle then slide in the little card half way inside the envelope

4.  Stamp the skunk with Stinkin Happy stamp set and color with your favorite markers.  Use the coordinating dies and cut out the skunk

5.  Pop the skunk to the card as shown and add the little heart

6.  Stamp the sentiment on white and layer onto red then glue to the card as shown

Hope all of you have a wonderful 2019 and I will miss you!

Blessings

Pam
