Dare to Get Dirty

Hello friends!  If you are a Fan Club Member at Splitcoaststampers, no doubt you have been feverishly creating cards for all of the DTGD Challenges posted this week.  Although today is the last day for the challenges to be posted you have until Monday, August 8th at 11:59 PM Central time to upload your projects.  The card I'm sharing today was made for Brenda's challenge.

Creative Nugget:  Papers from the Blooming Garden Paper Collection by Our Daily Bread Designs was used to line the panels of this Z-Fold card.  The Trellis Strip border was cut in half and mounted to each side of the fold.  A sentiment from the Birdhouse stamp set was cut with Circles and Pierced Circles Dies and popped onto the card using mounting tape on only the left side of the card so it could open.  Pretty Posies Dies and Bitty Blossoms Dies were used to cut some floral embellishments, and the card is tied shut with seam binding.

The Birdhouse image was colored with Copic Markers and cut with the same circle dies for the inside of the card. The Trellis Strip border was continued across the center panel.  One of the Trois Jolies Papillons was stamped, colored, cut with the matching Trois Papillons Dies, and popped onto the right panel along with a pearl flourish to finish the card.

This card is being submitted for the following challenges:
Word Art Wednesday Challenge #242 - Anything Goes
Alphabet Challenge - L for Love
Crafty Hazelnut's Patterned Paper Challenge
Through the Craft Room Door - Anything Goes

Thanks so much for stopping by for a visit!  Have a wonderful weekend!

My first sample was made using the Birdhouse stamp set stamp set.

Creative Nugget:  The image from the Birdhouse stamp set was fun to color with Copic Markers.  Prills were added to the centers of the blossoms and an extra blossom was stamped, fussy cut, and popped onto the card.  Each of the layers were cut with the Square Dies and the new Pierced Squares.  Paper from the Boho Bolds Collection was stitched to two of the panel layers.  Love the new Trellis Strip Die which was used to cut borders which were woven over and under the second layer. The Birdhouse image was framed with a Filigree Frame die cut as well as the embossed sentiment.

My second card was made with the new Thanks For Everything Stamp/Die Duo.

Creative Nugget:   Papers from my favorite Shabby Rose Collection were cut with Pierced Rectangles Dies and a Pierced Square Die.  The white circle was cut with a Pierced Circle Die.   The new Flower Lattice Die was used to cut a border.  The embossed and stacked die cut sentiment was made with the new Thanks For Everything Stamp/Die Duo.  The teapot and roses are from the Tea Time stamp set and were colored with Copic Markers, cut with the Teapot & Roses Dies, and mounted to the card with foam tape.  Wink of Stella was added for some shimmer. Pearls and a heated bow were added to finish the card.
