CONGRATULATIONS,Beverly.  Please e-mail me at fkkrug@gmail.com for your voucher number.   You will find the winners of all the prizes plus the designer favorites on the Double D Blog. 

Now on to a brand New Challenge. 

Looking Back in Time

Create something that reminds you of times gone by!

I was intrigued by the vintage look of this board with vintage images and in black and white. I looked through my dies and stamps and found a bicycle and some keys, but I was drawn to the typewriter.  I guess I must be vintage too because I learned to type on this type of typewriter. I was so excited when my husband bought me an electric typewriter for our anniversary one year. I used that typewriter until we got our first computer.... years later. 

I did not have a typewriter die so I looked on line until I found a vintage one that had a free down load. Since all the pictures were clean and simple,  I did a clean and simple card that would be appropriate to send to a man.  I always have a hard time making them so it will be nice to have this in my stash.

This is the prize you can win if you post an entry on the Double D Blog. 


Hope you will join us.

Dies R Us New Baby

Anything NEW

(New dies, New baby, New house ... )

The new challenge at Dies R Us is all about something new.  I got this new Sue Wilson Die and it celebrates the arrival of a new baby.  

These dies are so easy to make a really cute card  

with just one die set.  It is easy to use as a stencil to high light the embossing and the background can be cut from contrasting colors or decorative papers.  The word baby cuts out so you can change the color.  I am basically a monochromatic person so I just used a different blue. I did a little sponging on the edges of the pieces to make them pop.

I love Pop Up Cards and got this die set from Karen Burniston for Christmas.  Some of her pop ups are a little difficult until you get the hang of them, but this one was really easy. The hardest part for me was getting a decent photo. 

Something sweet just goes with coffee so I used a cupcake from Karen's Pop up cupcake. Although I did not use it, there is a slot at the back of the coffee cup to add a gift card.

Dies R Us Anything Goes

Happy New Year!!! Dies R Us  is starting the New Year with everyone's favorite challenge, Anything Goes.  If you have not visited the DRU Store  recently, you need to check out all the things you can purchase besides dies. The store now carries a huge selection of everything you need for your paper crafting. I hope you have signed up for the e-mails because if you haven't you are missing out on fabulous sales and special order opportunities.

 

I have several January birthday cards so I decided on a birthday card for this challenge.  I bought this IO leafy background a few months back but have not used it. I think it is gorgeous especially framed in the IO All in One Frame.



These are the dies I used for the cards.
