Birthday Party Card

   This past Saturday was World Card Making Day, I spent part of the day creating cards. This card I am about to share with you is called a U-fold card. I have never created one before. It was fun to do. You can find the instructions on a blog called Beccy's Place. 

Supplies: cardstock (Cardstock warehouse), pattern paper (Simple Stories), border punch (Fiskars), die cuts (Frantic Stamper), ephemera (Bella Blvd.), sequins (SpiegleMom Scraps)  

 I love the confetti curtain. I am going to be posting more of the cards that I created from Sat. 

Make A Wish - DRU

    Hello, and welcome. Today is my last post as part of the Dies R Us team. I  am stepping done since the holiday season is busy for my shop.  I will be sharing with you today a shaker card 

I am sure you are like me and you have rolls of washi tape to last a lifetime. Here is a little tip match the print up and create a pattern paper with it. Adhere this to a card base. My card is 7" x 4" so I did the pattern paper a 1/4" smaller. 

I love these edger dies. All I did was run it through my die cut machine and took a craft knife ad removed the inside to create a frame. Now on the back of the frame, you would want to use a strong double-sided adhesive to attach a piece of plastic, I used an old page protector. After, the plastic is in place cover the inner frame edge with a foam adhesive. Set aside while we create the confetti. 

Now with the mini dies I did multiple cuts of each. This will be part of the confetti filler in the shaker. 

In the center fill the card up with the confetti die cuts and sequins. Since this shaker fills the entire card front I added a lot of filler. 

   Now, remove the foam adhesive backing from the frame and carefully line it up to the card. Press the frame edges down firmly to ensure no confetti of escaping.  Give it a shake and you are now done.

Party Easel Card - DRU

 Welcome back. Today, I have a Dies R Us post. It is a fun easel card. This type of card looks advance but it is super easy to put together. 

   First off you need to die cut the base with a large die, I used one from Spellbinders. Place the folded cardstock within the die so you get a connected shape. You will also need to die cut the same shape again but no need for the fold. I am also using the dies to die cut the pattern papers that will be used to decorate. 

To create the easel fold the front of the card base in half. Then, glue the extra die to the folded half. 

I used the dies from Frantic Stamper to create the embellishments. Monique was die cut twice so her dress was different. To add more personality to her I used markers to color her hair and shoes.  

   Here it is all decorated. I even added layers of dies to the inside of the card. This also helps to keep the card open popularly.

Edger Birthday Card

   Hello everyone, I am stopping by today with a simple birthday card. 

    I used an Impression Obsession celebrate edger die. If you are new to these here is a quick tip on getting it right every time.  First, create a scoreline in the card base, make sure the cardstock is wider than the die. Line the die's score line on the card's fold scoreline. Use a low tack tape to hold it in place, Don't over tape the die to the card since the tape becomes more "permanent" once it is through the machine.

 
   Here is what the back of the card looks like once the edger is popped out. 

I used the bunting die from Frantic Stamperbelow the edger to mimic the banner embossed cardstock. The die might be little but cuts through the glitter and mirror cardstocks easily.

   

   Then it comes to making cards I love to create a matching envelope seal, I figure it is a great way to use some of the scraps that I have from creating the card. I punch a 1" circle from cardstock and glue a die-cut, in this case, a little party hat.

DRU Box Card How-To

Today, I will be sharing with you how to create a box card that is 3-D folds flat when it is time to mail. 

   I have created diagrams to help with the instructions. 

Your card should look like this. 

   With the 1" strips that you previously cut from the cardstock, trim it down to 4 1/2" with a 1" score line on each end. Glue to the inside of the box. For my example, I did it in a different color so you can see how it should look. 

   With the Frantic Stamper's Strolling Monique I created a layer die cut. Die cut in two different papers and trim the portion you want, here the shoes and dress. I then glued it to the base die cut. The finishing touch to her was coloring the hair with an alcohol marker. 

   To decorate the card base use six 2 1/4" x 2 1/4", three 2 1/4" x  3 3/4", and two 2 1/4" x 6 1/4". Here is the finished card. The Impression Obsession Birthday die in the front.

Stamping with Die Cuts

   It is Friday, May 22, 2020, for those who need the reminder. Today, I will be sharing with you how to create stamps with your dies. 

   All you need is some thin craft foam to create these foam stamps. I used these fun party icons by Frantic Stamper.

   With the foam die cuts, I attached them to a stamping block with a repositionable adhesive. When stamping a word make sure the word is backwards on the stamping block. Treat these like normal stamps. 

   This "Make a Wish" die is amazing since creates is an edger die so that means all those letters stay attached to the bottom part of the cardstock. 

Here is the end result. A custom stamp pattern paper card using dies.
