Hello Everyone and Welcome Back!

Today let’s dig into out stash and grab those ornament layering dies! I will be featuring the Tinkle and Radiant Ornament die set and even pulled out the Floral Star, just so you can see any layering die will work with this technique. Let’s get started!

As always we are completing our die cutting first! I dug into my scrap pile since I was using colors on one side and a solid color on the other, just to save on card stock!

After my ornaments were together using liquid adhesive, I set those aside to dry and grabbed my kraft card stock to create my tag shape. I cut 6 rectangles measuring 3 ½ inches x 5 ½ inches. I snip one corner and turn it over to the other side so my tag will be even on both sides.

For 3 of the tag shapes, I used my score tool to score a line 1 inch down from the top of the tag and then glued another tag shape without the score together. The score line allows the tag to function like a top folding card!

I used some torn scraps for accenting my tag shapes along one side and used vintage photo ink around the edges…

Grab some twin and ribbon and create your tassel for the top of the tag shape. Make sure you create an ornament hanger and attach that to you ornament first. Then gather the rest of your twine to strong your ornament and tag together!

You see in one project we can create a tag, a card and even make it a gift!

Hello Everyone and Welcome Back!

Today I am featuring the Epiphany Plate Layering Die Set! We do not have to use our dies only one way, let’s look beyond what they are capable of! With this set we get a plate, ring, and a medallion. So many ways we can arrange these pieces. Let’s get started!

First let’s get our die cutting done and layer our sections together, let’s include our sentiment at the same time!

I also cut a 4.25 inch x 5.50 inch panel to place behind our main layering panel. I grabbed a circle die to cut two panels from vellum card stock! These will be placed off-set behind our ring and medallion.

For our card we are going to use a 5 inch x 7 inch card base setting our main panel in the center towards the top. Our medallion is placed in the upper right hand corner with the vellum edge hanging over the opening and the ring is placed at the bottom right corner the same way!

Next we place out sentiment die cut along the edge of the panel showing through the ring die.

This will give us a great geometric shape to our design!

For the final touch we always need to add some bling with some gem embellishments!

Hello Everyone and Welcome Back!

Today we are going to create a card using different layers from the Lumina Layering Die Set! Since the Lumina Layering Die plate had two parts to it we can choose which section we add multiple layers to add dimension in one area! Please we are going to add a rainbow in the background! Let’s get started!

First let’s get our die cutting done and only layer the cetner cut out of the panel! Set this aside to dry and grab a piece of your ink blending card stock!

On this panel we will create our rainbow using our ink blending brushes and our favorite inks. I chose my oxides and Bristol card stock!

I cut my panel down to 4 1/4 inches x 5 1/2 inches so my die cut would fit properly. I am only using the ‘A’ layer of our die set for the background and setting the help circle onto its place on my card panel.

I used a sentiment from the Big and Little Reverse Words Stamp set and placed it using double sided foam squares.

What rainbow is not complete with out sparkle and shine! I added some iridescent drops to each opening in the die cut!

Hello Everyone and Welcome Back!

For today we are going to pull out an old die and give it new life! I will be using the Prismatic Triangle layering die set along with the memory Box 6 x 6 card stock pads.

We always start out by getting all of our die cuts done and layering them using liquid adhesive.  Set them aside for them to dry and we will start working on our card bases.

For these cards we will be working directly onto our card bases by simply adding some ink to the background using a blending brush!

Once our color is down we can add our layered die cuts.  I matched my dye ink to the color of card stock I used for my images.

I pulled my sentiment from the Happy Lingo Sentiment Set and stamped Happy Birthday multiple times making sure the words were not on the same strip.

Since our image has a geometric look I am made the sentiment have that same feel by placing it along the edges of the die cuts creating angles and almost a mirror image!

These cards are perfect to make quickly and have ready for that pop-up celebration!

Hello Everyone and Welcome Back!

Today’s project uses up some of those scraps that we just cannot seem to part with! By cutting them in different widths and creating our background it is the perfect backdrop for our Mini Frame Layer Dies!

I pulled out my bag of scraps from the Memory Box 6×6 card stock paper pads and had a great time cutting them into strips of different widths and also matched them up into color themes!

Once completed I started on my die cutting of the mini frames and only used white card stock. These will easily become our focal point! I used my liquid adhesive to layer my dies cuts and matched them up to the colors mixed together for each background.

I cut my striped panels down to 3 ¼ in x 4 ½ in and added a white matt measuring 3 ½ in x 4 ½ in to each one. These were then placed onto of a standard A2 size top folding card base measuring 4 ¼ in x 5 ½ in.

I added my layered panels to each striped panel making sure they were centered. This actually creates an illusion to the eye that your striped panels were inlayed into the die cut image!

I heat embossed my sentiments and popped up using double sided foam squares placing them down towards the bottom of each image.

The bling came to town and added jewels to each image accenting the colors used for the card stock strips.

Hello Everyone and Welcome Back!

For today’s project I am focusing on the die, a sentiment die and making it our focal point of our slimline card design!

I chose the YOU die from the Happy Lingo die set, later we will add a stamped sentiment from the same named set.

I wanted a lot of sparkle for this card but also keep it clean and simple. I used the Memory Box 6 x 6 Jeweled Glitter Cardstock pad and plain white card stock.

I die cut from each of the colors a chose from the rainbow and then die cut four more layers using white card stock from my scraps! Best way to clean up that bin!

Using my liquid adhesive and layered all my die cuts together. While they were drying, I grabbed my slimline card base measuring 3 1/2 in x 8 1/5 in.

On my panel (measures 3 1/4 in x 8 1/4 in) I marked the center and made sure I set my sentiments along that mark and then went to each end. This helped when making sure they were equally spaced across the front panel, and yes you guessed it, I do not like to use a ruler! LOL…

Once they were set in place, I cut another panel that measures 3 ½ in x 8 1/5 in using black card stock. Stamped and embossed my sentiment and layered that over two of the die cuts, while making sure not to block any of them!
