Hello Everyone and Welcome Back!

Let’s use up those scraps that come from some of our die cutting plates! The Flora plate is perfect for this as the top layers leaves wonderful flower images left behind! Save them!

I die cut all my plates using one color card stock; I chose ivory. I also cut another top layer from an aqua color card stock and made sure I kept the full flower images and set them aside.

Layering my die cuts I used liquid adhesive to ensure a strong bond. Once dry I set it up on my Standard A2 size top folding card base. We want to set that aside and work on our flowers.

I grabbed a foam mat and a rounded edge tool, it can be a stylus or even a pen, use what you have! I cupped each of the flowers, so they form a cup shape. When these were done I layered my sentiment together to get ready for finishing my card.

I placed the sentiment first on my card base so I could know the placement of my flowers. Once the sentiment was set the flowers were placed sporadically around the card base.

Added satin gold pearls in my flowers and also on the layering die background!

Happy Monday, friends! I hope everyone is having a wonderful start to their week! Today I am sharing this card featuring the new Flora Layers and Adornment Peony Dies! 

I started by die-cutting then adhering the Flora Layer plates together. Next, I die cut the Peony and ink blended it with shades of pink and the leaves in green. I then assembled them together and adhered it to the center of the card.

I used the Brush Sentiments Greetings set to heat emboss the See You Soon sentiment, then die cut it with a circle die from my stash.

Thanks so much for stopping by friends!

Hello Everyone and Welcome Back!

Today I will be creating a Slimline Card featuring the Floral Balloon Layering Die Set along with the Birthday Wishes Sentiment!

As always, I start with getting all my die cutting out of the way and then start layering my card stock with liquid adhesive. For the middle layer I chose a holographic card stock!

I grab my panel and use my distress oxide to create the look of the sky and then added water droplets to create texture to the background.

I chose a slimline card base, so I would have more room to add my elements to the front of the card. After the balloons are layered, I added string to the bottom of each balloon and double-sided foam squares so they would be propped up!

All the balloons were place on my panel and then we added the sentiment across all the balloons with a little bit of sparkled added with a glitter pen!

To add some sparkle, I grabbed my glitter glue and added dots in the center of all the flowers on each of the balloons!

Hello Everyone and Welcome Back!

For today I will be creating two cards featuring the Christmas Mandala Stamp and Die Set! We can now combine stamping and die cutting together to achieve the look of layers!

First, I stamped all of my images using a clear sticky ink for the embossing powder application! I chose aqua card stock and gold embossing powder as my colors for today’s cards…

After all the images are stamped and covered with embossing powder I will heat set the images until the powder is smooth and melted. I use the coordinating die to cut out our images.

For the first card I used three snowflakes set as the background and popped up using double sided foam squares with my sentiment set off to the side.

The second card I stamped the tree and added a highlight with white charcoal pencil and blended with a blending stump. I grabbed my glitter cards stock and the tree die from the set to create the layer on top of my stamped image.

Once the design panels were set onto a standard A2 size card base, I chose aqua and green fairy crystals to embellish each card!

Hello Everyone and Welcome Back!

For today we will be creating a Gate Fold Card featuring the Marisol Ornament and Frame layering Die Sets!

We start with getting all our die cutting out of the way and then start laying our card stock with liquid adhesive. For two of the layers, I chose glitter card stock, liquid adhesive is perfect to make sure all our layers stay together!

From the C Layer of the Marisol Frame Die Set there is a tab, for our card we will be cutting that tab off.

I cut a piece of card stock to measure 5 1/2 inches x 8 1/2 inches and score along the long side at 2 1/8 inches. When these are folded in you can see a light gap between the two panels.

I grabbed some twine out of my stash and treaded it through the holes already die cut in each panel and started to layer my card.

I started with each frame panel on each side making sure my twine was not caught under the panel when gluing into place and then only added glue to one side of the card within the ornament opening and setting my ornament.

You only have to then tie your twine in front and your card is ready to be sent to someone special for the holidays!

Hello readers! Happy Monday! I hope you all had a wonderful weekend and hopefully found the time to do something crafty. This is Design Team member Crystal Komara here with you today sharing two cards using the Honey Script Holiday sentiments “Jolly” and “Believe” and the Linear Triangle Die in festive red and green glittery colors!

As much as I like using non-traditional colors for my holiday cards, you can never go wrong with red and green, especially when it is red and green glitter cardstock! Glitter adds so much extra sparkle and cheer!

Card details:

The base of this A2 sized card was made from 80 lb. Neenah Solar White Smooth cardstock. Using Layer C of the Delfina Layering die, I cut this from white cardstock and adhered it to the card as my “background.” I die cut the word “Jolly” from the Jolly Honey Script sentiment die. I die cut the larger shadow from red glitter cardstock and the thinner sentiment from white cardstock. I layered the two words together using a fine tip liquid adhesive and then adhered the sentiment to the card using 3M foam adhesive. I die cut the Linear Triangle die from white cardstock and placed strips of alternating red and green glitter paper behind each stripe. The glitter cardstock was from the Frosted 6 x 6″ paper pack. I then adhered the triangle to the lower right corner of the card. Lastly, I stamped the “ho ho ho” sentiment from the Contempo Christmas Greetings clear stamp set in red ink on white cardstock. I used the coordinating Contempo Christmas Greetings die to cut the sentiment out and adhered it to the card with 3M foam adhesive.

For this second A2 sized card, I followed all the same card instructions as those shown above, I simply swapped out the “jolly” sentiment for a different sentiment “believe” from the Believe Honey Script die.

I hope you have enjoyed these festive cards using lots of glitter cardstock. Thanks for visiting and have a wonderfully creative day!

Hello Everyone and Welcome Back!

We are always looking for new ways to stretch our supplies! I will be working with the Layer B Plate from the Autumn Breeze Layering Die Set and my favorite technique Ink Smooshing!

We are going to start out with getting our panels ready for die cutting. Grab your favorite water reactive dye ink pads! You can decide how you want your panels to look as you add your colors. I chose bright and deep fall colors!

After the panels are dry you want to die cut each panel with your plate keeping your colors separated. I decided to ink around each die cut with vintage photo to add a framed edges to each image.

I then die cut my plate into a tan cardstock and also cut panels that measured 4 ¼ inches x 5 ½ inches. These panels will be the background for my panel.

Using my liquid adhesive I added the tan panel on top of the solid card stock panel and placed my leaves around making sure the colors are scattered around! I used double sided foam squares to adhere my leaves and set them off to the side so a showdown would show behind each leaf!

Simply added a small sentiment from my stash and we are done! With all the die cuts you have these are perfect to create card gift sets!
