Stretch Your Holiday Dies | By Amanda Wilcox

Happy Tuesday everyone! It’s Amanda from Twiddler’s Nook joining you for a bright and summery card using some holiday dies, but you’d never know because of the paper colors and sentiment I chose.

I started by die cutting all 3 layers to the Nobilia Ornament set from different cardstocks – black, yellow glitter and melon.

I used liquid glue to adhere all of the layers and put an acrylic block on them all to help them dry flat.

While those were drying I cut my cardstock layers. I have an A2 size white card base, then a black layer that measures 5 3/8×4 1/8 and finally a white layer that measures 5 1/4×4. I adhered all of these together with tape runner and set it aside.

For my sentiment I pulled out the Thanks Sugar Script set. I cut the shadow from white and the word from black and the same yellow glitter. I layered these together with liquid glue and put an acrylic block on them while they dried as well.

Finally, I adhered all of my layers to the card front with liquid glue and then the sentiment on top of that.

I didn’t do much for finishing touches because I didn’t want to detract from the awesome glittler layer. So I added one simply gem to the center of the ornament portion.
