Technique – die cutting

Featuring die cutting

Happy Easter

 

Happy Easter everyone!

Here’s another one of my Easter cards which I made using dies from Simon Says Stamp, My Favorite Things and Lawn Fawn and lots of glitter paper.

As I used the colour palette from this week’s Simon Says Stamp Wednesday challenge, I’m entering this card into that challenge, together with the current SSS Flickr challenge (‘sparkle and shine’).

Thanks for stopping by!

Star Celebration

Hi there!

The Simon Says Stamp Wednesday challenge is celebrating its 8th birthday this week and so the theme is ‘Happy Birthday’. I paired these wonderful new-to-me SSS stamps with a SSS die cut from a distress oxide background I created when playing with the inks last week.

Im also entering this into the current Simon Says Stamp Flickr challenge (‘something new’).

Thanks for stopping by!

Rainbow Flowers

Hi there!

The theme for this week’s Simon Says Stamp Monday Challenge is ‘rainbow’. I used Tim Holtz/Sizzix dies to cut the flowers and then stuck them to a distressed background (which has a generous coating of distress mica spray – gotta love that sparkle!). Sentiment is by Tim Holtz/Stampers Anonymous.

Thanks for stopping by!

Egg-stra Special!

Happy Saturday! I used Lawn Fawn’s Happy Hatchlings die set for this Easter card. Yes, I confess it took a long time to do the inlaid die cutting for those dotty eggs! Even did a bit of controlled ink smooshing which is not one of my usual techniques but I think you’ll be seeing it more in future!!

I found this sentiment in my Easter stamp box – bought it years ago from Archivers. Ah, such a wonderful store and very sorely missed!

I’m entering this into the current Color Throwdown challenge.

Thanks for stopping by!

Thanks

The weather has been glorious today and I’ve been gardening – which means no time in my craft room! So here’s another card that I did for my SSS Flickr guest spot. I used a gorgeous new stamp from Penny Black and a die from Simon Says Stamp to create my very first hidden sentiment card.

The current challenge (‘something new’) runs until 13 April – hope you can play along!

Thanks for stopping by!
