Cheapo Dies - Autumn Wheat


Hello crafty people!


Happy Wednesday!  Wednesday is my day to share with you a new Cheapo Dies creation!





 Here is what I created for you:




I used the absolutely gorgeous Wheat Die to make this card. I cut some gold foil cardstock with it. I was working on a bunch of motivational cards, and the wheat was the perfect accent!

Scrapy Land Challenge #101

Hello friends!


Welcome to Scrapy Land {Challenge #101}!  I'm very excited to share my project with you.

I used the Cheapo Dies Winter Tree Die to make my cards! (Yes, I said "cards" lol - I made two!).  I chose to make 2 cards - one with the die cut image itself and one with the reverse cut out.





Buffalo Plaid seems to be hot, hot, hot right now - so I paired a simple tree patterned paper with some buffalo plaid paper. 

The theme is always ANYTHING GOES using any brand of die that Scrapy Land sells.  In addition, we have TWO WINNERS for each challenge.  One will be a random winner and the other is chosen by the Design Team.  Each winner will receive a generous $10 gift certificate to Scrapy Land.

Scrapy Land carries over 55 brands of dies, so chances are you have a few of the brands in your stash!  You can see all the brands carried under the Products category.

Please link back to this Scrapy Land Challenge and include the link to this challenge on your blog post.  It would also be extremely helpful if you would list the brands of dies used in your project.  (Sometimes we can't tell if an item is a die cut or chipboard.)

We can't wait to see what you create!  It can be any style you like from CAS to mixed media and everything in between.    Just be sure there's a die cut from a brand that Scrapy Land sells!




Good luck!

See you soon!

Quilted Present with Rinea

Hello crafty friends!




For my first Rinea Project  of the month, I decided to make a card! 
For this project, I used the Jolly Variety Pack.   I used a die from Stampin' Up! (now retired - Quilted Christmas) to make my cuts and the matching stamp set.  I was so excited to play with the Staz-On Inks!  This was a fun collaboration with Imagine Crafts!  I played with the  Emerald City, Jet Black and Spiced Chai for the inking on this project. 


I used a piece of the Glossy Ruby/Gold and embossed with a ribbed knit style embossing folder. I just love how easily the foiled paper dry embosses - AND it holds its shape!  Perfect for Christmas crafting!


For the main part of the quilted present design, I used the Starstruck Emerald, Glossy Emerald/Gold and Starstruck Ruby from the Jolly Variety Pack. Each piece was die cut and then I pieced it all together!  I think it turned out adorable!!  A perfect sentiment with some "stitching" added on finished the card. 

For the little bow, I used the Emerald/Gold Glossy Foiled Paper. I simply cut a scrap piece and rolled the tiny little strips down into a present bow!  

Supply List:
- Jolly Foiled Paper Variety Pack
- Patterned Paper
- Sizzix Big Shot & Magnetic Platform
- Stampin' Up! Dies (Quilted Christmas)
- Embossing Folder
Nuvo Deluxe Adhesive
- Scissors
- Imagine StazOn Inks (Emerald City, Jet Black, Spiced Chai)
- StazOn Ink Remover
- paper trimmer
- ATG Tape

See you next time!
