Welcome back, crafters! Dee here sharing a card that combines the Arista and the Pinpoint Radial plate dies for a clean and simple geometric design! Let’s get started!
I began by cutting the Pinpoint Radial plate die with white cardstock, then die cutting Layer A of the Arista layering dies four times – once in white and three in different colored cardstock. I stacked all four together, offsetting each one, and adhered them together for a kaleidoscope effect, then adhered it to the center of the Pinpoint Radial background.
To finish, I cut the Big Hello Sugar Script die once in colored cardstock and once in gold, stacked and adhered them together (offset), and adhered it to the background. For a little extra shine, I added gold embellishments to the center of the Arista circle!
Hi friends and welcome back! Dee here today sharing a card featuring the Viola and Eloquent layered dies that I combined with a simple ink blending combo for pops of color!
To begin, I first cut the Viola Plate dies (layers a, b, and c) in white, then stacked and adhered them together. Next, I watered colored two A2-panels in yellow, To begin, I cut the Viola dies (layers a, b, and c) in white, then stacked and adhered them together.
Next, I watered-colored two A2-panels in yellow, orange, and pink, adhering one panel behind the Viola layers and die cutting the other panel with layer a of the Eloquent butterfly set. I then die cut layers b and c of the Eloquent set in gold and white, then adhered the three layers together.
I then die cut layer b and c of the Eloquent set in gold and white then adhered the three layers together. To finish the butterfly, I die cut the body of the butterfly from the Butterfly Basics set in gold and adhered it to the center.
Once the layers were complete, I adhered the butterfly to the front with foam adhesive. To finish, I die cut the sentiment from the Handwritten Hugs in gold, added gold embellishments, and mounted the panel onto an A2-sized card base.
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!

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 crafty readers and happy 1st of September! For those of us who love fall (ME ME ME!) then let the pumpkin spice season begin! If you’re still sippin’ on your summer ‘ritas, no shade here, you do you! But, I’m full speed ahead to apple pies, sweater weather and all things fall. This is Design Team member Crystal Komara here with you today sharing a fun (and mildly Halloween inspired) card using the Autumn Breeze Layering plates:
Card details:
The base of this A2 sized card was made from 80 lb. Neenah Solar White Smooth cardstock. Using two out of three layers of the Autumn Breeze Layering Plates, I used a piece of garden green cardstock as the bottom layer (in lieu of Layer B). For Layer C I die cut the plate using pumpkin orange cardstock. Layer A was cut from basic black cardstock. You can see my photo below for all three layers:
I adhered all three layers together using a Tombow adhesive tape runner before gluing the three layers down to the card base. I cut a 3″ circle from vellum cardstock, cutting of the right side just a bit before adhering it to the card. Using the Big Thanks Sugar Script dies, I die cut the large shadow sentiment from garden green cardstock and the thinner sentiment from gold glitter cardstock from the 6″ x 6″ Holiday Glitter Pad. I adhered the two layers together with Tombow adhesive before adhering the enticement sentiment strip to the card using 3M foam adhesive for added dimension.
On a thin strip of white cardstock I stamped the sentiment “for your friendship” in Memento Tuxedo black ink. This sentiment is from the Lingo Thanks stamp set. I adhered this sentiment strip below the large “thanks” using 3M foam adhesive for added dimension.
I hope you have enjoyed this card! Thank you for visiting and have a wonderfully creative day.
Dee (justcallmedee.com) here, and I am back today with another fall-themed card using some of my favorite dies! This square card features the Linear Triangle and Autumn Breeze Plate dies! Let’s dive right in!
First, I trimmed down a piece of white cardstock down to a 4.25” x 4.25” size. Next, I die cut two of the Linear Triangle’s and adhered one to each corner, covering the entire panel.
For the leaves, I die cut layer B from Autumn Breeze Layer die set and used only the negative pieces (in this case, the leaves) to ink blend! I blended each pink, orange, and green with small ink dangers and then set them aside to dry.
Before assembling the leaves, I first die cut the Big Thanks Sugar Script die and shadow in white, then stacked and adhered them together. I die cut it once more in gold and adhered that over the top.
To begin assembling, I adhered the ‘thanks’ to the center then added the leaves with foam adhesive. Finally, I added gold metallic pearls and mounted the card onto a 4.25” x 4.25” top folding card base.
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.

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!

Hi Everyone, It’s Renee’ from Delaney Jane Cards here with a different take on the eclipse technique. Many times we see it done with words but I thought I could achieve something similar with the beautiful Tranquility Layering Dies and Handwritten Thanks. When I’m feeling stuck I often try to use a favorite technique or product in a new way.
Today that technique was similar to the Eclipse technique but could also qualify as Inlay. These layering dies, they create so much opportunity for experimenting and stretching not only your supplies but skills as well!
For this card I ink blended an 8 1/2″ x 5 1/2″ piece of cardstock using the Kitch Flamingo and Squeezed Lemonade Distress Oxide Colors. Then I trimmed this into two separate panels.
I die cut the Handwritten Thanks die from the panel where I wanted it to be on the finished card.
I removed the die cut and placed the tranquility Layer A from the same piece of cardstock where the final piece will be on that card panel.
This cut the place holder for the finished layered tranquility layered die set. I die cut each of the layers from both black and a coordinating cardstock. Layer C from yellow and Layer B from Pink.
I die cut the shadow layer from the Handwritten Thanks from black cardstock when I did all my die cutting. After I had all my layers, I adhered each layer to a coordinating black piece of cardstock. This will create additional drama in the final die cut design. These layers will not only add additional depth but by using black it will add a visual outline for each layer as it is viewed from the side.
By cutting the top layer, Layer A, from that initial panel, this creates the basic eclipse pattern. If I had simply stacked black die cuts under the top layer and then put it back exactly where I die cut it from, I’d have created an eclipse design. By putting the entire stack of die cuts in this layer die set together, I also achieve the inlay die cut technique, the eclipse technique and I create additional depth in the design.
I finished this card off by layering that thanks onto the edge of the tranquility medallion and added sparkle and shine with the fairy jewels in clear by Open Studio.
I’d love to know what you think of my design and of this super fun attempt at adding a twist to the eclipse technique. Please let me know in the comments.

Hello friends, and welcome back! Dee here and today, I am sharing this intricate card that I created with the Tranquility layer die set! For this card, I decided to use a single color in three different shades for an elegant and sophisticated feel. I hope that you like what I came up with! Let’s begin!
First, I die cut the center circle of the Tranquility die (saving the outer layers for a future project), cutting layers A and C in white and layer B in all three shades of blue. I then adhered the layers together with each combination containing a blue middle layer.
Next, I cut a piece of white cardstock down to 3.75” x 4” and adhered the circles to it in a random pattern, and trimmed off the excess, using those pieces to fill in any gaps. I heat embossed a sentiment from the Rainbow Days stamp set and die cut it with a circle die (from my stash), and adhered it to the card with foam tape.
To finish, I added silver metallic pearls to the center of each of the circles for some extra shine and mounted the card onto an A2-sized top-folding base.
Thank you so much for stopping by, crafty friends!
