dahlhouse designs | 11.2015 greatest birthday

This is one of my favorite kit of the month images.  Who doesn’t love a girl with balloons.  I needed a birthday card, so I paired this special release girl with the birthday message from Everything Comes Full Turn.

Lots of pretty things to see, but this is all from me. Thanks for stopping by.

dahlhouse designs | 10.2015 birthday tags card

Big birthday fun going on in this card.  I couldn’t decide on what to say, so I said it all!  Lol.  Super easy card to recreate, just stamp some sentiments away on some little tags, fan out and connect with a big brad.

Link up your project at the Paper Smooches SPARKS blog by Saturday, 11:59pm PST.

[9.15.2015] Unity Tuesday

Unity Tuesday Hopping Fun

Time for some more TUESDAY fun with the Unity design team.  If you haven’t been hopping along, all the action starts on the Unity blog… make sure you visit to see all the happenings.


This week we start a brand new Be Inspired Challenge, check out this fun inspiration.

And a brand new sentiment kit too.

Believe in the Magic

dahlhouse designs | 9.2015 merry ornaments

I loved the colors in the challenge and couldn’t wait to watercolor up those ornaments from the sentiment kit.

I have a few cards from last week’s release to share too.  It is a BIG day full of cards on the blog today.  Ha.

Little North Pole

Don’t you just love this sweet Mr. and Mrs. Claus.  I can’t stand it.  They are too darn adorables.

Up next, a tag using this jam-packed sentiment kit.

Jar of Mixed Sentiments

dahlhouse-designs-_-9.2015-URamazing-tag

I don’t think you could find a stamp set with MORE sentiments then this one.  It is filled with so many options.  And don’t forget to mask off words to combine even more.  That is how my little brain works.  I tried to offer lots of combinations that way.  Here I masked off (or cut apart, as I do) “Thanks” to only use “YOU” with “are amazing.”

And last, this sweet little card so perfect for a little girl’s birthday!!!  I just adore all the {littles} stamps by Tifany.  They are too darling.  I combined the Jar of Mixed sentiments with the little girl from Little Fall.  Perfect combination if you ask me.

[8.30.15] paper smooches SPARKS challenge

Paper Smooches SPARKS

{5.29.2012} hugs

There is an extra Sunday in this month, so that means we get to squeeze in one more fun Anything Goes SPARKS challenge from Paper Smooches.  Let your creativity go wild.

Anything Goes PSS

dahlhouse designs | 8.30.2015 birthday blooms

I just love these Dainty Flowers.  The sweet little die cuts are just too much, I can’t handle it.  I smooshed some Dylusions Inks onto that little Paper die cut from watercolor paper.  It was a little too bright (you can’t say that Dylusions Inks aren’t bold) for what I was going for.  I sewed a square of vellum over top to tone it down a smidge.  Perfect.

[8.23.15] paper smooches SPARKS challenge

Paper Smooches SPARKS

{5.29.2012} hugs

Check out the new SPARKS challenge from Paper Smooches.  We are playing with a designer draft sketch this week.  One of my favorite challenges to play.  Sketches always stretch my creativity.

dahlhouse designs | 8.23.2015 celebrate

Ok, so, I seriously shrunk down that sketch!  Ha.  I actually used it as my main element instead of the entire card.  Is that allowed?  I’m not sure, but that totally happened.

I was so excited when Best Buds arrived.  I couldn’t wait to ink that pretty banner stamp up.  I colored it with Copic markers, added a little white gel pen and then popped it up with some little paper ribbons hanging down.
