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!

Dare 2B Artzy January Challenge!

We have a brand new challenge this month over at Dare 2B Artzy for January! Start your 2019 year off right and get crafty. Remember that someone will win some D2BA goodness just by entering!

This month we are asking you create something inspired by your favorite season. I really enjoy all the seasons, I love the warmth of summer, crisp days of fall, spring flowers and even the pure white snow in the winter. 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.

Here is the final card, simple clean and oh so easy!

AND there is a new video up on the Dare 2B Artzy YouTube channel tomorrow to show you exactly how I created this!

Thank you so much for stopping by today! make sure you get your favorite season represented in this month’s challenge!

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:

Thank you so much for stopping by today! To find this beautiful stamp check out the Digital Stamp section at Stamp AnnieThing.

Have a Merry Colorful Day!

Dare 2B Artzy Year in Review

Hello friends and family!  I am hoping all of you are ready for the holidays and have plans to share time with family, friends and loved ones!

Here in Iowa it has been COLD and we are tucked in tight for winter months ahead! Great time for crafting and creating. Today I get to share some of my favorite posts from the past year at D2BA! So here is a list of some of my favorites!

The first two cards I am sharing use the same stamp set. I LOVE the Butterfly Inspiration set! I have used it multiple times and love the different ways I can use these delicate images.

I have done a little bit of Bible journaling with my D2BA stamps as well and this is a favorite from this past year, the stamp set this time is Be Yourself :

Then one of my favorite newer cards I have created is this one featuring the Squirrel! Stamp set and some of the coordinating papers. I just love how the dies work to cut out all these little leaves on the patterned paper!

And what would a year of favorite post be without an alpaca?! I adore this stamp set, Alpaca Cake, there is the Spit Happens set as well, it might be one of my all time favorites ? I think I have shared it 3 times over the last year but this last one I think is my favorite with the swinging cactus pinata!

Thanks for stopping by today and again Merry Christmas and Happy Holidays to you all!

Have a Happy Colorful New Year!
