You will be seeing some Amazing anniversary cards from Teams A & B over on the challenge blog throughout the month so today I'm sharing a Birthday Card with you.
Here's the story behind today's card . . .
I've been busy making Tissue Box Covers for my Spring Craft Shows and
since I didn't want to waste any of the beautiful designer paper I've
been using, I decided to turn all the scraps into a variety of cards. (You can pop over to my blog HERE to see the coordinating tissue box cover if you'd like.)
By using die cuts with your scrap
designer papers, you can create some of the most amazing cards. I will
share more along the way but this is one of my favorites!
The dies I've used today are:
Paper Artist '10 Tiny Things and Shadows'
(#HTP5328)
(#HTP5328)
Spellbinder Celebrations 'Pierced Rectangles' (#SCD-012)
(sorry, rectangles no longer available but there are squares, circles & ovals!)
(sorry, rectangles no longer available but there are squares, circles & ovals!)
"Love, love, love these background die sets!!!"
By
making my background panel from the patterned paper then overlaying the
background die, it's so easy to hide any imperfections in matching (or
not) your patterns.
Another little tip is:
By cutting a panel of patterned paper that would fit the inside of a
card ... THEN cutting the 'Heirloom Legacy' oval panel for the front of
my card from that piece. I was not only able to use the oval background
for the sentiment on the front of TODAY'S card creation . . .
but also the inside sentiment panel for another card (as seen above). The butterfly die used on this inside panel is BoBunny Dies 'Flutter' also available at our Dies R Us Store.
I
hope you have found these little tips and tricks helpful and will give
them a try on your cards. There are SO MANY beautiful dies available at
the STORE!
More and more new releases are being added all the time so be sure to
stop over and have a look at all the DIE CUTTING GOODNESS available in
one location. Over 40 die cutting companies represented!
That's it for me today, be sure to pop over to the PARTY, I'll be looking for you!!
