Die Cut Surgery Part 2 (Craft My Stash #16)

 

Hello! I created this card from the left over supplies of my last post. Instead of throwing the frame heart, I created this into a dimensional heart frame by adhering each left over heart on top of the other. 

I die cut several pieces of patterned papers using a stitched rectangle die. I created a stacked rectangles quilt using these die cut rectangles. I adhered the frame heart to this. I trimmed off the excess. 

I die cut the sentiment on a dark colored patterned paper from the paper pad. I adhered this to the quilted pattern. I added shimmer to the sentiment die cut using Zig Wink Of Luna Copper Brush Marker Pen and Zig Wink Of Stella Clear Brush Marker Pen.

For the card panel, I adhered several strips of left over patterned paper to a 4 1/4" x 5 1/2" typing paper. I trimmed off any excess. I added a cross stitching detail to the seams of the patterned paper. 

I adhered the heart to the panel. I added shimmer to the heart frame using Nuvo Midas Touch Aqua Shimmer Pen. I added gold flower sequins and Pretty Pink Posh confetti sequins. 

Thank you for visiting my blog! Have a blessed, brilliant and creative day!

Die Cut Surgery (Craft My Stash #16)

Hello! Welcome to another Craft My Stash post. For this card, I am using the following:

• Simon Says Stamp Bramble Heart Wafer Die
• SSS With Sympathy Wafer Die
• SSS Stitched Rectangles Wafer Die
• Lawn Fawn Stitched Borders
• Glitz Paper Pack Sunshine In My Soul (Retired)

Do you see the flower branches inside the frame in my card? Will you believe if I tell you that those came from a heart wafer die as shown below?

Yes! It is the same flower branches. After I die cut the heart on cardstock, I trimmed off the flower branches from the heart die cut. I repeated this process three times. I adhered the flower branches on top of each other to create some dimension. As for the left over hearts, which now looks like a frame, I am keeping these die cuts for a future project.

I created a stitched rectangular frame using two rectangle wafer dies from the set. I die cut this on a gold patterned paper from the paper pack. I arranged the flower branches and adhered it to the back of the frame. I trimmed off the excess. 

For the sentiment, I die cut one of the patterned papers using the Sympathy die. I die cut it two more times, and adhered it on top each other. I colored the sentiment die cut with a black metallic marker.

I added a tulle on the back of the frame. I adhered a gold vellum to the back of the frame. 

I added flower sequins, gems and confetti to the flowers and buds.

For the card panel, I trimmed a 4 1/4" x 5 1/2" typing paper to use a backer and guide as I create a multi-patterned paper panel. I adhered the patterned papers to this typing paper, slightly angled diagonally. I trimmed off the excess. I added some stitching detail to the seams using the Lawn Fawn Borders die. 

I adhered the frame to the center.

Chalkboard Altered Digital Print

This is my first post as an Incy Wincy Design Team Member. I am excited and nervous at the same time. So I said to myself, take a deep breath, enjoy and create.

I put the Cricut Explore to the test with the Bugaboo Stamps digital image. After downloading it to the Cricut Design Space and a test run using a black Cricut marker, I tried drawing the image on black cardstock using a white Gelly Roll pen. I sized the image to 4 1/4" x 5 1/2" to fit a card front. I colored the print out with color pencils. I lightly colored the background with white color pencil and slightly rub it off with a paper towel. I applied clear Wink of Stella to the flowers and used my stash of gel and metallic pens. I fuzzy cut the oval shape off the original lay-out. I inked the edges of this piece with white ink pad.

For the background, I dried embossed another black cardstock using a We R Memory Keepers Quilted Next Level Embossing Folder. I adhered the oval flower piece on this.

For the sentiment, I cropped a part of the Oddball Art sentiment digital image and also downloaded it to the Cricut Design Space. Using the same technique, I wrote the sentiment on black cardstock using a white Gelly Roll pen. If I can do this over again, I will resize the sentiment smaller so I can trim it to a one line sentiment strip. After adding details to the sentiments, I adhered this to the bottom of the panel. I stapled the edges to add a little bit detail. I adhered this panel to a white note card. To finish off the card, I applied random dots of Glossy Accents, sort of like an enamel dot.

I chose to create a sympathy card. I tend to have none at hand when I need a card with this theme. Now, I have one handy. I also plan to re-create this card using a white background with a black outline.

Thanks for viewing my blog. Hope you join us in the Incy Wincy Alter Something Challenge.  Have a brilliant day!
