Princess Card

Hello!  This is Sukie and today I'm back for my design team post.  I'm sharing a princess card created with the new Magical Fantasy die release.  The die sets used on my card are sure to bring out the inner princess in all of us.

The floral paper was the inspiration for the hot pink colors on my card.  I also incorporated some vellum on my card base.

I used the Princess Dress Up, Princess Accessories 1 and the Little Princess & Roses dies to cut out all of my pieces using card stock. The circle is from the Nested Stitched Eyelet Circle Set.  The die cuts were inked on the edges for extra dimension.  A black gel pen was used to add some eyelashes to my princess and a bit of chalk was brushed on her cheeks.

I created my A2 sized card base and adhered vellum to the bottom portion.  The vellum toned down the patterned background so the "princess" sentiment and roses would pop on my card.

The sweet princess and her purse were adhered to the die cut circle. All of the pink really stands out against the basic white circle background.

The circle was centered on the top portion of my card. This card is perfect for any little girl who is a princess!  

Here are the dies I used on my card available here:

DT Samples w/Spring & Magical Fantasy Dies (Day 3)

Hello Scrapping Cottage Friends! Thanks for taking the time to stop and visit today. We are sampling cards from our Spring and also our new Magical Fantasy release.

There are 27 new designs in the Magical Fantasy release. And for a limited time the individual dies are on sale at 25% off. We want to give your some ideas for your own card making. So let's get started with our samples for today.

Card 1:  Our first sample today is from Jeanne Knobbe. She created a card in a box using the new Princess Dress Up, Sweet Unicorns and Magical Unicorn Dreams dies. A card-in-a-box card is a wonderful way to give the recipient an extra "gift" that can be displayed long after the birthday is over.
She also used some older dies  - Spring Window, Spring Grass, Easter Bunny and Chicks. Jean said working with the Princess Dress Up dies reminded her of playing with paper dolls only better. So much fun choosing the dress and hairstyle for the princess.  This card would be perfect for any little (or big) girl who loves unicorns and all things fairytale.

Card 2:  The next sample is from Sukie Dhillon. She used the super cute Frog Prince die to create a creative special occasion card. She used doily dies as a backdrop for her "prince" and surrounded with a few sprigs of greenery and coordinating flowers.  The happy couple who receive this card are sure to live happily ever after.

Card 3: The next sample is one that I (Mary Marsh) created. I used the new Unicorn Cupcake  + Fairytale Birthday dies and designed a whimsical birthday card. A card like this along with a Unicorn stuffed animal would be an ideal birthday gift for any little girl. It would definitely bring a happy smile as she opened it.



Card 4:  Our last sample for today is from Anja Zurga. She also created a card with a cupcake using the Spring Lamb Cupcake die. The distress ink and white paint splatters are a beautiful backdrop for the sweet little lamb. You could use this card for a variety of occasions- Easter, Birthday, Thank you or even a thinking of you. Thinking out of the box gives you more use of your seasonal dies.

Well that's our samples for today. I hope the team has given you some fresh ideas for creative ways to use the new dies. Stop by the Blog again tomorrow for our final day of DT samples.
