Sentiments as a Focal Point! | By Desiree Kuemmerle

Hello Everyone and Welcome Back!

For today’s project, let’s use our sentiment dies and make them our focal point! Clean and simple is the theme for today…

For my sentiments I will be using the Memory Box 6×6 paper pad called Dashing Holiday along with creating our own sentiment backgrounds just by using our inks.

To get everything prepared I started by die cutting all the elements that I can, when I was using my pattern paper.

I set my die cuts aside and pulled out my inks, for today I will be using my Distress Oxides, but you can use any inks you have in your stash. We will be creation different effects and they can be completed with any inks we have! Once the panels are completed and dry, I will use my background die to cut them out!

Variegated Effect…

Solid Effect….

Solid with water added…

When adhering my sentiment to the background I like to use my liquid adhesive to make sure my die cuts are secured.

Once my sentiments were ready, I started cutting my panels in different sizes and shapes for my sentiment to be set on… any size will do here. They are them placed directly onto a standard A2 size card base…

In no time at all you have clean and simple cards, perfect for those last-minute invites or drop ins during this holiday season!
