Happy New Year! Keep It Simple

January 06, 2020 0 Comments

Hello all my crafty friends! I am bringing you a little Monday morning inspiration from Dare 2B Artzy this morning. After the business (or lack of work) over the holidays I was ready for a super simple card and D2BA has great options with their AMAZING papers for all sorts of creative solutions that are fast and fabulous!

I created this card using 2 Dare 2B Artzy die sets and 3 partial sheets of patterned paper. For the most part is is cutting and taping! I started with this smaller scrap of the Ski-sons Greetings Bear paper and the matching dies. One of the huge bonuses of D2BA materials is that often you will have a die set that fits the patterned papers perfectly! Notice I am hanging off one side to start. I only had the one full bear so I am going to use 2 halves to see if I can create a second.

Then I needed to get the second half of my bear,

When I lined him up and got him attached this is how he turned out. You can see the seam if you look close but most oof my friends would not be looking this close ?

Then I die cut one more piece of patterned paper, I only cut out half the window leaving the second half hanging off the cutting platform.

Next tucking it all together! I trimmed a slope at the bottom of the window above, added clear plastic to the back of the window then used foam tape to mount this to a third D2BA patterned paper on cardstock with a few sparkles on the window. The bears pop up on top and I have a card voila!

Here os a closer peek at all those fun layers.

You can see the seam on my bear a little more easily at this close up angle ?

Thank you so much stopping by this morning!

Hold on to your seats because Dare 2B Artzy is going to wow you in a couple weeks with some new fun stuff!
