New Product from Dare 2B Artzy

Don’t you just love when a favorite company comes out with new things to create with? I do and Dare 2B Artzy just shared a whole lot of new over the past weekend!

Hi friends I am sharing a little inspiration to chase away winter blues. It just got real here in the midwest as we got hit with our first real snow of the season and the weekend temperatures were in the single digits and “feels like” in the below zero ranges. I have been tucked in tight prepping for classes and creating cards with the fun new products from Dare 2B Artzy.

Not only is there new product in the store there is a brand new site so be patient as we work out all the glitches, also know that the new goodies are not quite shipping yet. They are all there to view and purchase, but not ready to package up for a wee bit longer.

Today I am sharing an image from the new Seas the Day collection, I am using the Aloha/Hibiscus Stamp Set and the beautiful new coordinating papers.

I adore a simple card as you know and the clean lines of the image and simple color palette just suite me to a tee. I have colored the image with Copic, including the background and added the sparkle with a little glitter. I can color right over the sentiment since the D2BA inks are Copic compatible and then trim the square and layer with a card base and patterned paper.

Here is a quick look at the flower:

The colors I used are Y00, Y21 and the Colorless Blender on the flower and B00 for the background, so super simple! Reminds me a bit of a Hawaiian shirt.

I hope you were lucky enough to catch the Dare 2B Artzy team at their booth in Phoenix, but if you were like me and huddles at home in the cold make sure you make time to stop at the new on-line store and see all that is new!

Have a Happy Colorful Day!

Purple Palooza

Hello friends and family, checking in today to share a little SAT inspiration. I had so much fun creating with this month’s release images. I missed the opening days of this months release so I am super excited to get to share a few creations over the next several weeks.

This week I have “Bridget Hang Loose Today” popping by. I colored her up with my Copic markers then created a very simple card base with one of the new dies this month.

Colors used: Skin E50, E21, E11, Hair E21, E23, E25, E27, Dress V06, V09, Belt, YG23, YG25

I added a little shine to her accessories and opaque white to the reflection in her eye before I finished her up as well.

Thank you so much for dropping by! 

Have a Happy Colorful Day!

Dare 2B Artzy Video Inspiration

Hello friends and family. I am hopping on this fine January morning with a little creative inspiration for you from Dare 2B Artzy. Lots of D2BA news so let’s get to that first!

There is a brand new monthly challenge going on this month we are looking for inspiration from our favorite seasons. Make sure to enter for your chance to win some Dare 2B Artzy goodies.

There will be new products coming out! Later this month you will start seeing sneak peeks and they will all be available February 1st.

Dare 2B Artzy will be at Creativation later this month as well. If you are attending be sure to drop by booth 561 to wave hello!

OK I think that was the list of the items to be reported woosh! On with the art and inspiration. Today I have a video link to the latest video up over at Dare 2B Artzy’s YouTube channel hope you will have a little time to stop by and check it out.

One of my favorite things about the Dare 2B Artzy papers is the decorative trim on every piece. Might as well use those up as well right? This technique could be used to create other shapes and you could use paper scraps instead of the end tabs of the paper so a lot of versatility to this one.

Here is a look at the completed card (spoiler alert is is a holiday card):

Thanks so much for dropping by today, I hope your holiday season was full of laughter, family, friends and relaxation!

Have a Happy Colorful Day!

This month we are asking you create something inspired by your favorite season.

But I am just not quite done celebrating Christmas so I am throwing one more Christmas card at you because it is truly one of my favorite seasons!

Here is a look at my card:

I used not only the doodled poinsettia stamp set but also the end strips from several of the lovely D2BA Christmas patterned papers.

Merry Christmas 2018

Hello Friends! I am getting to share a brand new Stamp AnnieThing image with you today! I asked Ann a month or so ago if she would be willing to create a Nativity scene for all of us. I color one each year for Copic In The Craft Room and post it on Christmas and Ann said YES! ?

So today I am sharing a brand new digital image with you and I have a full video of Copic coloring to go along with it!

If you have not explored the new Stamp AnnieThing site yet you need to take a full tour, each time I come back I discover new things appearing and new categories to explore. (You know things I might NEED!) One of the new sections in the store is the digital stamp section. Now you are not re-directed to Etsy you get to stay right here for your digital images as well! You will recognize many of the images as the Facebook “Color With Me” images that we have been sharing each month. We have more of these in store for you for 2019! Today you will have access to this new digital and instead of live coloring I am including a link to my video.

Here is a look at my finished card:

And a close up so you can see Ann’s beautiful image:

And here is the link to the video:

Have a Merry Colorful Day!
