Technique – die cutting

Featuring die cutting

An owl and a pussycat!

Hi there!

The colours for this week’s Color Throwdown challenge are turquoise, lime green, yellow and white and here is my entry. It’s difficult to see in this photo, but I have blended Broken China and Twisted Citron distress inks and so the background looks much greener in real life!

All dies/stamps are by Avery Elle.

Thanks for stopping by!

Thank you Bella

Hi everyone!

The theme for this week’s Simon Says Stamp Wednesday challenge is ‘Going Dotty’ and I immediately thought of some circle dies from SSS that I haven’t used for AGES. I used stamps from Stamping Bella which I coloured using Twinkling H2Os.

I finished off the card by adding a few enamel dots in the frame – I used some actate behind the frame where it comes off the card.

Thanks for stopping by!

Glitter, glitter everywhere!

Hi everyone!

I’m loving the latest class from Online Card Classes – Sparkle and Shine! The first class was all about glitter and I chose to create a card using the glitter die cut inlay technique from Jennifer Mcguire.

I chose a large Memory Box die and added smaller dies from Savvy Stamps and Poppystamps before applying TONS of glitter!

I’m entering this into the current Merry Monday Challenge (non-black silhouette).

Thanks for stopping by!

Hi there!

I love this week’s challenge over at Freshly Made Sketches and so here is my entry using a die from Memory Box, papers by my Mind’s Eye and a sentiment from Clearly Besotted.

The colour scheme is the current Less is More challenge, so I’m also entering this card into that challenge!

Thanks for stopping by!

Hi Everyone!

I’m back in my craft room after being away and it feels so good!

The theme for this week’s Less is More challenge is ‘shadow’ so I used a shadow/stencilling technique that Shari Carroll shared at Simon Says Create in 2015.

I used SSS fog card as my base and applied SSS Smoke ink over a Tim Holtz stencil and then moved it slightly before applying Lawn Fawn yeti ink. I used SSS banner dies to cut the panel and cut a vellum banner using the same die set, cutting it twice to remove the fishtail portion of the banner.

I cut the MFT Cheers die and three times – once with DCWV glitzy paper (isn’t it fabulous?!) and twice with white cardstock and then stuck them together before adding it to my card. I’m also entering this into the current SSS Flickr challenge –‘anything goes’.

Thanks for stopping by!
