New Dare 2B Artzy

Dare 2B Artzy has just launched it’s newest release, just in time to showcase them at Creativation 2020! I have been able to play with a few of the new images and will be sharing them over the next month or so.

This little guy is from the new Honey Bear set and I had to go a classic Whinnie the Pooh coloring being a fan and all. The color combo is a simple one!

Bear and Bee – Y21, Y35, R81 Overalls – B91, B95 Honey – Y21, Y28 Honey Pot – Y35, YR24, E99 Cast Shadow – BV23

Then onto a card with new papers from Dare 2B Artzy! I have to say this might be one of my all time FAVORITE paper releases! The bees are too cute and there are some florals and strips that I will use over and over, not to mention that honey comb!

New Year, New Dare 2B Artzy Card.

Hello all my crafty friends! I am bringing you a little Monday morning inspiration from Dare 2B Artzy this morning. After the business (or lack of work) over the holidays I was ready for a super simple card and D2BA has great options with their AMAZING papers for all sorts of creative solutions that are fast and fabulous!

I created this card using 2 Dare 2B Artzy die sets and 3 partial sheets of patterned paper. For the most part is is cutting and taping! I started with this smaller scrap of the Ski-sons Greetings Bear paper and the matching dies. One of the huge bonuses of D2BA materials is that often you will have a die set that fits the patterned papers perfectly! Notice I am hanging off one side to start. I only had the one full bear so I am going to use 2 halves to see if I can create a second.

Then I needed to get the second half of my bear,

When I lined him up and got him attached this is how he turned out. You can see the seam if you look close but most oof my friends would not be looking this close 😉

Then I die cut one more piece of patterned paper, I only cut out half the window leaving the second half hanging off the cutting platform.

Next tucking it all together! I trimmed a slope at the bottom of the window above, added clear plastic to the back of the window then used foam tape to mount this to a third D2BA patterned paper on cardstock with a few sparkles on the window. The bears pop up on top and I have a card voila!

Here os a closer peek at all those fun layers.

You can see the seam on my bear a little more easily at this close up angle 😁

Thank you so much stopping by this morning!

Hold on to your seats because Dare 2B Artzy is going to wow you in a couple weeks with some new fun stuff!

D2BA Year In Review

Wow here we are in the last month of 2019! I do not know about any of you but this year has flown by and been a crazy busy one for me on the creative front. This week and next the design team at Dare 2B Artzy are sharing some of our favorite D2BA creations from the past year! 

So to start the trip down memory lane here are a few of my top Dare 2B Artzy favorites from 2019!

I ADORE the D2BA Alpaca stamps! So you know one of my cards I created with these images had to make my 2019 favorite list! This one has a swinging cactus piñata to boot! Love coloring the Alpaca with Copics it is so quick and easy, then the shaker card came together with clean white and brightly colored confetti!

Next up is the ski bears! I am loving this set and really enjoyed coloring both cards that I created with the bears! Super fun to do some detailed shading on the puffy coat and adding. details to the ski jumper!

I love the simplicity of the next card. And the sentiment…yes please!!

So all time favorite for the year? Can I pick a favorite? Not really, BUT I really love how. this one turned out. I am a good Copic artist but I am lacking in the card creativity area and I think this one is pretty successful!

Must have been going back to my doodling roots that makes this one a favorite! 

Hope your Holidays are filled with friends, family, peace and. joy! 

Have a Happy Colorful Holiday!

Holiday Packing with Dare 2B Artzy!

Hello my crafty friends. I am guessing many of you are gearing up for the holiday season with crafty goodness. Today I am sharing a little holiday project I just completed!

Did you see the new Holiday Seals set at the Dare 2B Artzy shop? A large group of companies contributed including D2BA and gives you such an amazing collection of images to use for tags, cards and gift giving for the season! I used the Dare 2B. Artzy image and colored it up with my Copic Markers:

I love this cute Santa image:

He was super quick and easy to color. Then I used some of the lovely D2BA patterned paper to create a gift card box and band to wrap it with.

Dare 2B Artzy papers work so perfectly for a project like this because because even the inside of the box is pretty!

Super fun and easy project!

Have a Happy Colorful Day!

Here are a couple items straight from the D2BA store that created this fun project!

Fall Flowers

Hello friends and family! Time for a little Monday morning inspiration. I am lucky enough to have one of the new sets, the Flower Mandela Stamp Set from Dare 2B Artzy and that is what I am playing with today! This set comes with coordinating dies and of course also has coordinating papers!

I decided to go for a very fall look with the big and little flower and stamped out one of the sentiments as well. Then colored them up with my Copics. This time I went online and used Pintrest to search color combinations for a little inspiration! Here is a screen shot from my phone of what I found.

I then translated that into my Copics:

I used the die set to quickly cut the two flowers out and get them attached to some beautiful D2BA papers.

Here is a close up as well😉:

Remember when coloring a detailed image like the Flower Mandela to keep your color choices simple you might only need two markers in an area or in a particularly small spot only one color, you can always add a second layer of the same color to add a little dimension!

Have a Happy Colorful Day!
