More Winter Wonderland

Yesterday I shared a few projects using the Winter Wonderland collection from Die-Versions. Today I have a few more to share.


Another BEAUTIFUL die is the Cozy Fireplace die.  It is so detailed and perfect as it is. Again, I cut the die out in several different colors and pieced it back together. I added a few dots of red glitter for berries and rhinestones for the fireplace swag.  I adhered the finished die to a small embroidery hoop and I now have a new ornament for my Christmas tree.



I made this card using the All Bundled Up die along with the Sweet Petite Snowman. I cut the snowman in white, black and brown and pieced him back together before giving him a warm scarf to complete the look.

You can see these and more ideas using DV dies on Die-Versions BLOG.

Winter Wonderland with Die-Versions Dies

I know some of you are getting snow already, here in Virginia we're not that lucky...yet. Die-Versions has a beautiful collection out called "Winter Wonderland". It is GOEGEOUS! I have a few projects to share using these fabulous dies.









Here I used the following dies:
Bundled Up Enhanced Spot
Snowman Sweet Petite die
Hat and Mittens whisper die


Isn't this Polar Bear just the cutest? I added footprints in the snow and glittered snowflakes to complete the chilly, wintery scene

Die-Versions BLOG HOP

Welcome to our first ever BLOG HOP!
I have really enjoyed being on this DT thus far...the dies are amazing! They are so intricate and they cut really super smooth.
I have so many favorites but this Bug Jar die, (which obviously can be used as a cute canning jar), is on the top of my favorites list.

I have also loved the recent Die-Versions releases that focus on boys. The scrapbooking industry tends to lean towards girly themes with a floral focus (hey, I love flowers myself) but it's nice for us parents of boys to have more options.

Dies used on layout:
Boys Will Be Boys cube
Super Stars Wee Petites
Triangle Corner Concepts
Cow Sweet Petite



We have some AWESOME prizes if you participate in our hop.

Here are the details:

Hoppers will need to comment on all the blog stops and then on the last stop (store blog) tell us which die out of all the projects they have seen was their favorite.

Summer Continues...

I know some of you know or have children that are back in school already. We get out so late here in Virginia that my kids don't go back until the first part of September so we still have a little time to enjoy summer.
Die-Versions just realeased their fall dies -what a beautiful collection that is! Along with the gorgeous fall dies they've created these cool Corner Concept dies. These are large corners, not your regular size corners so they are great for larger photos or to be placed behind the photo for a really cool affect.
I chose to arrange them together to create a custom chevron look.

Also new to this collection are the Half Pints like the one with 2013 on it. I really love those!

Thanks for looking!

Sk8r Dudes

Die-Versions just released their "Late July" release to the public with the August release coming shortly behind.
Let me introduce you to "Boys Will Be Boys"!

Super cute, right??
For those of us with boys, we know there can NEVER be enough boy-themed supplies out there.

 

 

For my skater page I used the following dies:

Boys Will Be Boys Cute Cube
Skateboard Sweet Petite
Super Stars Wee Petites

Check the Die-Versions Blog often for more ideas using these awesome boy dies.

All Star Winner

My kids are pretty active, especially my boys. But my daughter's sport of choice is soccer. She loves it and she's pretty good at it, too. I got the chance to play with a few of Die-Versions' soccer dies from the new "All Star" collection.

 

Here are a few close-ups of the dies I used...

First off, the Soccer Border Die was cut with different colors and then layered to make the scene look realistic. I found the black silhouette of the girl playing soccer through Google search, which I just printed and cut out.

I cut out the Winner Express Edge with a dark red paper and tucked it behind my trio of action photos.

Finally, this fun little Whistle die was added to the top to complete the whole sports theme. I added some  realistic layers to the whistle complete with my daughter's initial.

 

Check out the Die-Versions BLOG to see all of the "All Star" dies in use.

Summer Sun

The summer fun continues...

I made this card using a few wonderful dies Die-Versions from  their June "Life's A Beach" release.

The Vacation title is an Express Edge which comes connected as one word, I snipped them apart so they could fit my card better. I cut out three Palm Trees  and used the negative on the cover of my card to show the patterned paper underneath.



Speaking of Die-Versions, they just released their newest collection of sports dies called, "All Star". Super cute stuff, check it out...!

Number One Dad

Happy Father's Day to our dads and darling hubbies!

I have a few quick and simple cards to share with you using the #1Dad Sweet Spot Die from Die-Versions.

I used a Pagemaps card sketch for this card as well as Jillibean papers from my guest DT spot at Paper Secrets. I noticed that the grey patterned look a little purple, in real life they are not. ;) I wouldn't go that frilly with a man's card.


For this card I used a card sketch by Susan Stringfellow. I also used Jillibean Soup papers but made it much more masculine. This card is for my hubby because he really is the jack of all trades. Its so nice to be married to a handy man.

Beachy Keen

Happy Friday to you all! This is our last "school" weekend before school officially gets out on Tuesday. With events like 8th grade graduation and kindergarten graduation, I have very little time to breath. Come on, summer!!
Speaking of summer, hopefully many of you are hitting the beach within the next few months or so. If you are, remember to snap tons of photos then come home and scrap them all with Die-Versions dies. This month's collection are fabulously beachy.
I used the beautiful Conch Shell on two separate cards, both a little different from the other.

I created a shaker box in the top corner by filling a chipboard frame with sand and tiny dies like crabs, a shovel and pail from the Beach Scene die and then covering it with a plastic sheet.

Next we have this simple yet "punny" shore card using the same shell die. This time I backed the shell with another piece of paper so the sand, which is made of sandpaper, didn't show through.

Changing Courses

The new Tricycle die from Die-versions is absolutely adorable. I just know I'm going to use it in so many projects.
I tied some twine to the handle bars on this altered cutting board for visual impact. I edited a photo of my son on his bike and typed the phrase, "It's Never too late to stop and change the way you're going." So true! Especially for us women, we can change our minds as much as we need to. ;)





Thanks for stopping by today!!

Life's A Beach

I am so excited to show you Die-Versions's June 2013 release, "Life's A Beach"!! These beachy dies are ADORABLE!!


I received a few dies from the collection and I am just in love! It was fun pulling out some older photos of us at the beach in California a few years ago to use the Vacation Express Edge, the Palm Tree Sweet Petite die and the Beach Scene die. All of which are to die for!







More ideas using these and a few more dies from this collection coming soon.

Check out the Die-Versions BLOG for tons of great inspiration from the DT using dies from this new release.

Thanks for stopping by, have a great Day!!

It's a Bird...Its a Plane!

...well, actually it is a plane. I am loving this month's die release from Die-Versions. Its Planes, Trains and Automobiles!
We all know that scrapping for boys is a bit difficult, so many products and papers are floral and just don't work for little boys. That's why I was excited to see this masculine set of dies come out. The possibilities are endless.
Today I'd like to share a layout I made with the Die-Versions Sweet Petite Airplane Die.


I reversed the plane so it's the direction I prefer and cut out two pieces to make it look more dimensional.




You can find so much inspiration using these dies and many others on the Die-Versions BLOG.

Til The Cows Come Home

I've been having some fun playing with my new dies from this month's Die-Versions release, especially with the cow.

"Playful" is the word to describe each of my projects today.

Because being a little different makes you stand out, I call this one, 'Fine Cow Art'.


I painted the 5x7 frame a fun teal color and lined up my cows with foam Zapdots to give each cow height. I was surprised at how much my teenage daughter liked it, she immediately called "dibs" on it and displayed it on her bookshelf.  haha

Finally, I made some scrumptious Samoa cupcakes for a get-together with friends. Cut with edible paper, I used this same die for a cupcake topper.





Thanks for stopping by today!

A Little Bit Country

Howdy!! Die-Versions has come out with their awesome April 2013 release called "Country Life". I received a few dies from this collection and I have had so much fun creating cards, layouts and a framed altered item.


There is a long list of puns to be used for barn animals but I went with the "holy cow" theme. See, my cow has a halo? Ha!

This card would be suitable for a thank you or just to let someone know how awesome they are. I used the new Cow Sweet Petite die and the Pasture Parade die to make the farm scene on my card. The Pasture Parade is actually one die but I broke it up by cutting out each animal with a different color.

A Little Bit Country
And finally, my husband's side of the family is pretty country, more than just "a little" actually. This farm collection with be used quite a bit in this household.




Here I used this Sweet Spot for my title.


Check out how stinking cute this tractor is! I cut the tractor out in 3 different colors and pieced it all back together for a more realistic look. Sitting on the driver's seat is a lone duckling from the Pasture Parade die.

Check out the Die-Versions BLOG for tons more fun ideas using this adorable collection of "Country Life" dies from the new DT.

More ideas from me soon...
