Cheapo Dies Jumping Dolphins

Hello my crafty friends!! 

It's Connie Can Crop here and my day to post with  Cheapo Dies!  

This Jumping Dolphin die is an absolute fav of mine! Being a California girl I just love the beach and the waves!! And these waves are gorgeous!!
I decided to cut the waves out twice so I could create a border with them across the bottom of my card. And then I cut each out in two shades of blue for the layers. I added some google eyes on the dolphins just for fun!
My sun is actually a slider too!

Cheapo Dies- FIRE

Hello my crafty friends!! 

It's Connie Can Crop here and my day to post with  Cheapo Dies!  

I have seen many people posted the so called Impossible Card lately and I knew I had to attempt this really cool card myself! I am so glad I did! And I am even happier I chose to use the FIRE die from Cheapo Dies on it! I just love how this card turned out!

 This is the impossible card folded flat for shipping in an envelope.

The impossible card standing front facing....so cute!!! Love how the die is center stage!!!

And here is the back of the standing card. Ready for my sentiment and signature.

I see more of these in my future and honestly it was super easy to create!

Cheapo Dies Masquerade

Hello my crafty friends!! 

Happy Mother's Day to all the mom's out there!!

It's Connie Can Crop here and my day to post with  Cheapo Dies!  

This week I was inspired by my upcoming trip to New Orleans! And thought this Masquerade die would make the perfect card for my friend that I am going with! I love the way this turned out and can't wait to use this die on some of my scrapbook pages too!!

I cut the die out in a solid rust color and then again in a gold and purple foil just so I could add the colored embellishments. I was amazed at how easy the foil cut through and will definitely be using more foil in the future with these dies!

Patriotic Flip Flops

Hello my crafty friends!!

It's Connie Can Crop here and my day to post with  Cheapo Dies!  

I'm back this week with a patriotic card featuring these adorable flip flop dies! They just scream summer time fun!

I cut them out in red and blue glitter paper and then traced the outline of them on to white cardstock and cut that out for the solid background.
But these would also be really cute without the solid background!!
