Die-Versions Think Pink Blog Hop

Welcome to the Think Pink Blog Hop!! 

October is Breast Cancer Awareness Month, so the Die-Versions Design Team wanted to bring Breast Cancer Awareness to our crafty friends. We want to get the message out to all women about the importance of early detection with regular self-breast exams and mammograms. 

We want all of you to Hop with us!! Link up as many new projects (no back-linking) that fit the theme of Breast Cancer Awareness (no other restrictions) for a chance to win a $25 Gift Certificate generously provided by Die Versions. Die-Versions manufactures low profile dies made right here in the United States. You can see all of the dies Die-Versions has to offer and do some shopping at 

the Die-Versions store.

Many of the designers today will be using images generously provided byDoodle Pantry. Doodle Pantry provides a diverse selection of images. There is something for everyone, so be sure to stop by to see all they have to offer.

We have also joined with Fighting Pretty to donate cards to be delivered to breast cancer patients. If you would like to donate your cards we would love to pass them along to brighten the days of needed recipients. Please email Lori at mulchlady(at)aol(dot)com for the address to send your cards. 

Here is what I made, using the Die-Versions "Crochet Lace" Whispers DVW-322 die, and a sweet PRE-COLORED (!!!) digital set 'I Will Survive', from Doodle Pantry - you can find it HERE.  

If you look closely at the second photo, you will see that I actually printed the image twice, and cut the little birdie head out.  It was than mounted on a 'wobbly' spring, so when touched, it wobbles!

Your next stop on the Think Pink Blog Hop is Mary. So let’s get hopping, celebrate courage and strength, and most importantly spread some Pink Hope.

Just Saying Hello

Hi friends!

Don't you just love it when something really fun happens accidentally?

That happened to me, as I was cutting out a die cut to use for today's Die-Versions post...

I had a scrap of purple on my desk from a card I made yesterday.

I grabbed it up, and die cut "Crochet Lace", one of my favorite Die-Verisions dies!

                                As I looked down, I realized what fun it could be to use both pieces!

Die-Versions "Crochet Lace" DVW-322

Voila! - Check it out!!!

Die cut is at the top, waste is at the bottom!  Pretty cool, right?  I used a favorite stamp set from Amuse Studios - used an ink dauber, daubing ink directly onto my stamp. I also used my Perfect Layers Mini Rulers for my mat (check sidebar for details).

Be sure to check out ALL of the Die-Versions dies - they cut like butter, and are very affordable!  You won't believe the wonderful selection!

Be watching for a new release!  Coming soon!!!

Thanks for stopping by,
