Technique – die cutting

Featuring die cutting

Shiny Starburst

Hi Everyone!

Today I’m playing along with the Freshly Made Sketches Challenge !

I cut a couple of pieces of matt mirror cardstock using the Simon Says Stamp Burst die and stuck the two die cuts together. I adhered a piece of patterned paper to my card base and added the starburst die cut. Finally I added the sentiment – the stamp is from a set by Simon Says Stamp and the letter dies are from My Favorite Things.

I’m also entering this into the current Simon Says Stamp Flickr challenge where the theme is friendship.

Thank for stopping by!

Vine Butterfly

Hi Everyone!

Happy Saturday! For today’s card. I’m playing along with the current Color Throwdown challenge (pink, blue, green and yellow).

I just bought this gorgeous Vine Butterfly by Memory Box. I can’t believe I missed it when it was released a couple of years ago, isn’t it pretty? I lightly blended some Tumbled Glass distress ink to my card base and then added another die cut (Fresh Foliage, also by Memory Box) before adhering the butterfly and a few sequins. The sentiment is by Clearly Besotted again. They really have some super sentiment sets!

Framed thoughts

Hi Everyone!

Happy Monday! I actually made it to the post office today – first time since lockdown… I bought a load of stamps and I’m looking forward to getting a bunch of cards out to friends! For today’s card. I’m playing along with the current Color Throwdown challenge (pink, aqua, gold and white).

I started with a die cut tag which I altered by smooshing some Tumbled Glass distress ink. Then I cut an Altenew frame from metallic gold cardstock. Having seen the photos, I’m glad I added the gold ribbon because you can’t really see that the frame is gold, can you? I added a couple of Simply Graphic die cuts and a few pink dots. The sentiment is by Poppystamps.

Happy Dad’s Day 2020

Hi Everyone!

Today I’m playing along with the Freshly Made Sketches Challenge ! I rotated and flipped the sketch, I think that’s allowed with this challenge…

I used an older stamp from a Hero Arts set and dies by Elizabeth Craft Designs and Avery Elle to cut  panel I had created with distress oxide inks.

Thank for stopping by!

Deco Rose Hello

Hello Everyone!

I was flicking through my flower dies yesterday and spotted the Poppystamps Deco Roses die set and made a mental note to use it again soon, then I thought it would be perfect to use with one of my older Stampendous stamps for my take on the fabulous sketch over at CAS Colours and Sketches.

I heat embossed the deco image and coloured it using my Twinkling H2O paints I also coloured the die cut roses with the same colour before adhering them all to the card base. To complete my card, I added a sentiment by Sugar Pea Designs which I stamped in Peeled Paint distress oxide ink – it seemed to match the green I used for the leaves perfectly!

Thank for stopping by!
