DECEMBER's cards galore with DIE-VERSIONS

hello crafty friends!

can you believe it is almost the end of DECEMBER already?! and i still have a few creations to share with you. this post will be all about DIE-VERSIONS and their FANTASTIC dies!

*****

my first card is a CHRISTMAS one of course - 

"SEASONS's GREETINGS"

i used red cardstock for the base. then i cut a slightly smaller piece of golden cardstock, distressed its edges with brownish ink and layered the image on top of it.


for my sentiment i used IE-VEDRSIONS' sweet wordlets "SEASONS's GREETINGS" die. i die cut the phrase from white shimmering cardstock and i used one of the words as it is...


... then added white chunky glitter to the other one and adhered it to the bottom of my card.


*****

for my second card i chose to create an any occasion card - 

"HELLO" 

i used a white card base, which i altered with TIM HOLTZ tea dye distress ink. then i adhered two layers of pattern paper on top of it and start arranging my design.


i used pattern paper to die cut the frame {sweet frames "HELLO" die} and inked its edges to make it pop out from the background. for the owlette i used WHISPERS "little owlette" die and brown cardstock.


to finish off my design i added rhinestones and paper roses.

*****

my third card i created for a very special little girl and of course it had to be all pink and glittery - 

"SMILE"

i used sweet frames "SMILE" die and whispers "MAGIC WAND" die. to create this card i used only colored cardstock, no pattern paper. 


i adhered all layers with mounting foam tape and added rhinestones and a ribbon bow to finish off my design.


i hope you enjoyed today's post!

all the BEST! and i see you again in 2015!
