Technique – die cutting

Featuring die cutting

Sweetest die cut bundle

 

 

Hi Everyone!

Happy Thursday! Today I’m playing along with the Case This Sketch Challenge

I adhered three Simply Graphic die cuts to a panel I had embossed with a Taylored Expressions embossing folder and then added a sentiment by My Favorite Things to complete my take.

Color Throwdown Fairytale Flower Card

Good morning everyone!

This week, I have the honour of being the Guest Designer over at one of my favourite challenges – the Color Throwdown Challenge.

The palette for this challenge is blue, purple, light blue and green, another fabulous combination, don’t you think?

I’m currently challenging myself to use some of my older, little used dies. I always struggle a bit with border dies – I have MANY pretty ones, but I get stuck trying to incorporate them into different card designs. This card is actually made from the pretty Memory Box Fairytale Flower Border die that I cut and coloured three times and then cut up and arranged to cover half of my card base. The sentiment is by Your Next Stamp.

There’s some amazing inspiration from the Color Throwdown DT over on the challenge blog – I do hope you can play along this week!

I’m also entering this into the current Memory Box challenge where the theme is birthdays.

Thanks for stopping by!

Peony Delight

Hi Everyone!

Happy Saturday! It’s raining here today which is a great excuse to get crafty and ignore absolutely all my chores, not just the garden ones! I decided to play along with the challenge at Freshly Made Sketches and combine it with the current Color Throwdown challenge (red, orange and green).

I used a couple of older dies from Poppystamps releases in 2016 – the Peony Delight die (coloured with Twinkling H2Os) and the Daphne Butterfly (cut from vellum). The sentiment is by Clearly Besotted.

I’m also adding this to the June Poppystamps challenge where the theme is ‘clean and simple’.

Thank for stopping by!

With Love Bird

Hello Everyone!

I can’t believe it’s June already can you? Sometimes the days are very slow, but actually the weeks seem to fly by!

I had a little bit of spare time today so decided to play along with the current Color Throwdown challenge (turquoise, black and white) and the fabulous sketch over at CAS Colours and Sketches.

I used a bird die from My Favorite Things Birds of a Feather set and paired it with a MFT rose die and a Simply Graphic branch die. The sentiment is by Sugar Pea Designs.

Thank for stopping by!

Grateful die cuts

Hi Everyone!

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

Isn’t it a fun sketch? I paired some Simply Graphic dies with a few sentiments by My Favorite Things for my take. Can you believe that I actually used a ‘clear up’ background that I created when clearing up leftover ink after getting inky last week! Love how I was able to get die cuts with differing colours!

Thank for stopping by!
