Party Dies OnStage Raleigh Presentation

4/10/2025

I had an amazing time getting to present the new Party Dies bundle at OnStage in March. These two die sets are awesome! The Party Banners and Party Alphabet sets are great on their own but paired together you can do so much. It's been hard waiting for them to go on sale but they are here now so be sure to get yours. Remember, if you buy them as a bundle you save 10% too!

Here is a look at my full set of projects. I tried to show card making, home decor, scrapbooking and more.

This card mimics the scrapbook page you see in my full display. I loved showing off all the new In Colors this way.

With only having dies to show off during my presentation I wanted to find some interactive techniques I could show. One idea I wanted to highlight was how you can use the negative images of the letter cutouts to create masks. Add some ink and a blending brush and this is a fun technique.

This card also highlighted the negative image of the letters. The bright color and pattern of this paper really made it stand out.

This card I created using the banner die that is the size of a standard card. You can do this by making sure the top edge of the die rests above the fold of your paper so that you do not cut it off.

Creating banners is a given with these dies and you can do single ones or create words and phrases!

Here's a picture of me on the main stage during my presentation. It was nerve wracking for sure but ended up being a lot of fun.

Monday Montage 253

1/21/2024

It is so cold here I don't want to do anything but stay in and craft! It's a good excuse right??

For this week's Monday Montage I created some cards with the Sweet Thoughts Memories & More cards. I am in love with these preprinted cards. If you aren't familiar with our Memories and More line they are intended to be used in pocket scrapbooking but they offer so many card making possibilities too!

I wanted to try creating some cards of my own as well. For this first one I added some pattern to my Petal Pink card stock base using the Foursquare masks with Petal Pink ink and a blending brush. The Flirty Flamingo twine coordinates nicely with the card.

The bold butterfly on this card is one of the included stickers in the card pack. It stands out so nicely on the black postage stamp die. This card comes together so quickly!

These cards have coordinating card bases and envelopes you can purchase as well. They make it super fast and easy to create cards. In fact, I've designed a whole 20 card class around them. Here are a few of my designs.

If you are looking to make super quick and easy cards the Memories and More Card Pack combined with Assorted Memories and More Cards and Envelopes are the perfect answer. In these samples I've used the Dandy Garden Memories and More Card Pack and Cards and Envelopes.

Simply adhere a 3 x 4 card and a sticker to the base and you're done! Could these be any easier? No ink and stamps needed! You can use the 4 x 6 cards as well.

Plus, these cards are designed specifically for pocket scrapbooking so you've got multiple uses.
