Today's post reveals two different style cards using the same featured Tutti Designs Poppy Edge die cuts:
TIP: embossing folders with the same design as the die cuts can be used together to create interesting background, such as the flourishes shown in the first card:
TIP:
Wetting the die cuts makes shaping them much easier. Not only is it much easier (and lots of fun), but when the shape dries, it is somewhat hardened into that contour. The flowers were inked first, and then spritzed with water and shaped. After drying, they retained their shape beautifully!
For a shaped card, choose a shape that will accommodate the pretty flourish of the die:
Two beautiful, classy cards Donna, and a great way to show us how to use the dies. Great tips re the embossing folder and the flowers, I will give them a try!

DeleteI have never thought to emboss the negative of the die. Such a great tip and great way to use up scraps. I love the softness of these cards from the embossing, the die itself, and your distressing around the edges.
