Those Who Find a Faithful Friend

A faithful friend is definitely a treasure!  I love this beautiful sentiment combined with the A Way With Words - Friends die cut.  I have designed a 6 inch card.  A piece of design paper was cut 5 1/2 inches square and attached to a white card.  

Use the A Way With Words Friends die to die cut one yellow 'Friends'.

Use the Always Be My Friend stamp set and stamp 'Those who find a faithful friend have found a treasure' onto white card stock using black VersaFine Ink.  Die cut the stamped sentiment using a Dotted Scallop die. 

Use rectangle dies to create a frame.  I used the Dotted Scallop Rectangles, Stitched Rectangle and Postage Stamp Rectangle die sets.  Attach the stamped sentiment square on the right side of this rectangle frame.

I wanted to duplicate the flowers, in the design paper, to go beside the sentiment.  I used Susan's Garden Notes Poppy die set, Garden Notes Lilac die set for the blue flowers , and Joset Designs Behive die set for the yellow flowers.  The leaves were die cut using the ModaScrape Leafy Branch 4 and Leafy Branch 6 die sets.  These dies are from Elizabeth Craft Designs.

Live in the Moment

Don't you love the look of the die cut sentiments in combination with a stamped sentiment!  This is Selma today and have combined two A Way With Words die sets along with the Live in the Moment stamp.

This is the stamp used on the doily background.  

I used the 'happy' from the happy birthday die set and the 'Moments' from the Special Moments die set.  These were die cut using lavender card stock.

To create this feminine card, I created flowers using Susan's Garden Notes Rose 1 dies.  The small flowers are die cut from the CountryScapes Clematis-Ivy Die set.  The doily was die cut using the Gatefold Roses die.  To cut an opening for the Gatefold Roses die cut, I used the Fishtails Border die set.   The doily was tucked down in the opening created in the Fishtail Border opening.   The sentiment was stamped using black VersaFine ink and cut around with scissors and glued to the center of the doily.  The butterfly was die cut using the Dancing Butterfly die set.  All these dies are from Elizabeth Craft Designs.

Special Hugs For You

Today I have a friendship card created using a combination of the A Way With Words die sets and a rubber stamp.  I love the way we can combine die sets and or stamp sets to create a variety of sentiments.   Do you mix and match your dies to come up with fun sentiments?

I used four different A Way With Words die sets along with one stamp from a set of five.

Use the Special die from this A Way With Words die set.

Use the A Way With Words Sending Hugs Kisses die set to die cut the sentiment Hugs.

Use the  A Way With Words Forever die set to die cut the Forever sentiment.  Since only the word FOR is needed, carefully trim off the ever and flourishes along the bottom, with scissors, as shown on the card.

Use the A Way With Words Wishing You A die set to die cut the you.

Use the Thanks Cuddler Set of 7 stamp set and use the for being my friend stamp to white emboss under the white die cut sentiments.

The die cut on the lower left of the card is the Lovebirds die from Elizabeth Craft Designs.  Small flowers from the CountryScapes Clematis-Ivy set was die cut and attached to the branches

I hope you have fun looking for new sentiments you can create by combining dies from different sets.

Always be my Friend

Hello Friends!  This month the designers on the Quietfire Design Team are celebrating Friendship. I designed a card using the Always Be My Friend stamp set.

The Always Be My Friend stamp set is one I am sure you will love to have in your  'Friend' stamp collection.  

For my card I used a 6-inch card and layered a piece of white card stock on front that is 5 1/2 inches square.  I used a score board to score around the edges to give it a finished appearance

A light blue card stock was die cut using the Dotted Scalloped Square die set, then a piece of design paper was die cut using one of the dies in the Fitted Frame die set.  A corner rounder was used to round off the corners.  These two pieces were attached to the front of the card.

A dimensional frame was die cut using Dotted Scalloped Square die set to die cut the small blue frame and a slightly smaller die from the Stitched Frame die set was die cut using white card stock.  Using the same small Stitched Frame die, two fun foam squares were die cut and attached to the back of the small blue and white frame, to give it dimension.  

The Always Be My Friend sentiment was stamped in the center of the small white frame, using VersaFine Black Ink then was clear embossed. 

The design paper used has some small blue flowers in the design.  I used the Garden Notes Hydrangea die set to die cut a bunch of small blue flowers.  They were shaped with the Flower Tool Kit and one yellow Prill was added to the center.  The little leaves were die cut using the Leafy Branch 2 die set.  Individual leaves were cut off and tucked under the flowers.  They were attached to the card as shown.
