Butterflies and Parasols

A very warm 'hello' to you, lovely blogging friends!

Today I'm sharing a little Dies R Us Inspiration!

Today's technique is:

"make it simple or doll-it-up"

(using the same featured dies in both simple and elaborate designs)

The featured dies:

The following Dies R Us Products are being used:

Memory Box Calla Oval Wreath 99449

Memory Box Delicate Flower Frame 99438

Memory Box Delia Butterfly 98353 (body) (card 2)

Memory Box Lydia Butterfly 99089 (card 2)

Memory Box Sorona Butterfly 99091 (card 2)

Impression Obsession Spiral Flowers LARGE (card 2)

Tattered Lace Curved Parasol

Crafters Companion Die'sire Butterfly Dreams (card 2)

I was pleasantly surprised the Calla Oval Wreath and Delicate Flower Frame not only CUT easily, but popped out of the dies! What a breeze!
They may be used separately, or together.

The Delicate Flower Frame (Size A2 U.S.) is shown as a background.

The pink card is simple with 3 dies filling its space. It measures 4" x 6".

The Calla Oval Wreath has been inked and brushed with a little glitter, then popped up,
to showcase the Tattered Lace Curved Parasol.
The Parasol is also popped up:

The Stampin' Up! Sentiment is heat embossed with SNS Raspberry Sherbet Cosmic Powder:

The second card is larger (6" x 6"), with a few extra frills:

Pop up the Wreath with dimensionals - ink it up if desired - glitter it up, too!
Pretty Pearlized Vellum supports the butterfly:

The butterflies are gorgeous:

Impression Obsessions darling little Spiral Flowers are enchanting!
Believe it or not, these are Mitra's LARGE size, so beware if buying on-line not to get the smaller version. I cannot imagine how tiny those must be.

Here is a photo with a ruler so you can see how they look once rolled:

Flower Close-up:

I picked up FOUR of Die'Sire's Edge-ables. Wish I had known about them sooner! They are VERY easy to use, and cut with a single pass. They may be used in a number of ways, and are designed to be edges which do not completely cut out the entire image.

Here are some sample cards and some of the other dies in this line.

And here is a photo of the die, and how it cuts:

Thanks for popping by today!
