Hello, Dies R Us friends! Monday already? Sheesh! It’ll be
Christmas again before you know it. I hope you’re all having a happy new year
so far!
I’ve made another anniversary card today, rolling along on a card order. This almost looks like I photographed it in black and white, but,
actually, I was in the mood for soft neutrals and this is what came about. The
birds are a new-to-me die: Tattered Lace Oriental Blue Bird. So pretty! I found it when
searching “bird” on Dies R
Us. I teamed it up with my Sue Wilson Gemini Orion border and some pretty paper, a bow,
and pearls.
The birds were cut in SU!’s Sahara Sand – gray with a tint of
green – and, really, a perfect match with the designer paper and the ribbon. To
deepen the color of the die cut I went over it with a Sahara Sand marker after
it was cut, then layered over two more cuts for dimension.
Orion is a three die set – the decorative border and a separate
die for each edge. For the first layer of white I used the decorative cut and
the lower edge. The top layer of white uses only the upper edge die. Any one
of these dies will give a pretty cut all on its own, but together they’re
exquisite. The photo below shows the inside where I used all three dies
together to cut a stand-alone border from the designer paper.
A new challenge began New Year’s Day on the Dies R Us Challenge
Blog. The theme is “Something New” – your interpretation. Several of the
team made baby cards, so you see where you can go with that. See below for a summary of supplies. Have a happy day!
