Hello Everyone and Welcome Back!

For today’s project we will be using the Nobilia Layering Die Set! The die set is very deceiving! So many die cuts that you can chose to put back together or not to get many looks from one die! Let’s get started and you will see what I mean!

I will be using a paper pad from Memory Box called Dashing Stripes and Dots. These colors are not your typical color pallet and that is what really attracted me to it! They are deeper color values.

After choosing my colors I started my die cutting, here is where I realized all the different cut outs that you will get and was pleasantly pleased… LOL When I made my first cut I saw the possibility of making a frame for all the panels that you get!, so not only will you get your layering pieces but also a frame that can be a different color all together to make them pop!

I used different color palette for my outer frame and panels and used another color palette for my focal point! Grabbed my liquid adhesive to adhere all my die cut pieces together, and yes I even had a few extras!

Grabbed my Standard A2 size card base (4 ¼ in x 5 ½ in) and started by placing my frame down first and then my panel inserts onto my card.

Added some pearl embellishments and our card is complete! But there is something else here that we can build, and that is a beautiful ornament for you tree or even a gift! Because I changed the color of my center point on my card, I had those die cuts left, let’s not let them go to waste! These are symmetrical dies so you can put a backing on them as well!

As always, I hope you enjoyed today’s project… and if you want to see more details just click on the video below and see how these projects come together step by step!

Make sure you stay tuned for more wonderful projects coming soon! Have a great day and always remember… Be Creative!

Hello! Today’s card is one of those cards that looks like it took a ton of time, but the secret is letting the Grandiose dies do all the work! Festive and bright, with some shimmer in the background, this is a great card for any occasion during the holidays… including thank you’s!

I’ve used negative pieces from die cuts to create a very simple design in the background band. The base of the embellishments were cut from Layer B, and the tops cut from Layer C. Because I wanted these specific colors and shapes, I die cut the layers rather than using leftovers from making the card base. Because these die cuts are so versatile, nothing ever goes to waste and can be used on other card layers. (I keep extra cut pieces in the same envelope as the dies for simplicity!)

I hope you have fun experimenting with different color layers, and even the negative pieces! Because these background die layers are in two parts, colorful scraps can be used. I love to just cut a bunch in different colors and see how they look together. This can result in many unique combinations that wouldn’t have been planned!

Have a wonderful day! Thanks so much for stopping by.

Hello! Today I’m so excited to share an idea for using the Grandiose Bevel Plate Layer Set to create an easy gift box, and the Mini Grandiose Bevel Plate Layer Set to create an easy band. These layers are so beautiful – they are a gift in themselves – but so easy, and I’ve done all the measuring for you near the end of this post.

The boxes include measurements for festive liners. The above liner can be found in Memory Box’s Dashing Holiday 6×6 pad. The red box (with chocolates in mind) has Birch Press Design’s Vanilla Bean dotted paper.

So many different looks and options with the layering sets, mixed with patterned papers on the inside!

Now, for the GIVEAWAY info! The die set for commenting on this post will be the large Grandoise Bevel Layer!! This is the die set used to create the base of these boxes (belly band die set is the mini set, not included). Keep checking back for more giveaway chances all throughout November!

Hello Everyone and Welcome Back!

For today’s project I will be using the Mini Dazzle Bevel Plate Layering Die Set! This set is part of the new release and I am loving them! The size of these dies are perfect for any card size and occasion!

For this I chose soft shades of blue for this card. The dies reminded me of a snowflake in a way.

Once my pieces were cut I layered them together using my liquid adhesive and set that aside to dry under an acrylic block.

I then die cut the Merry Honey Script sentiment and layered those pieces together as well.

I cut a panel 4 ¼ inches x 5 ½ to place my die cuts on. I grabbed a mini blender and used my white pigment ink to add shading to the bottom on my card.

I set the layered die panel towards the top of my card and the sentiment below!

Let the sequins begins! I love iridescent sequins and for this card I made sure I had lots of them underneath the sentiment!

GIVEAWAY ALERT!!
