Be Mine

Deanna here with another fun project for the Dies R Us inspirational blog.  Here is what I made for you today.

To make the card I started out with some pink card stock that I cut and folded to make a 4 1/4" X 5 1/2" card base.  Next I added a black mat cut at 4 1/8" X 5 3/8".  Then I cut and embossed a piece of white card stock that was 4" X 5 1/4".

Next I die cut the Tutti Design Heart Flower Garden die out of some more of that pink card stock using my Big Shot and my adapter plate.  The adapter plate is really worth buying..  It makes cutting these intricate dies so much easier.

 Finally I assembled my card and finished it with some iridescent sequins. Next I stamped my sentiment and fussy cut it out and adhered it to my card and the card is done.

Winter Wonderland

Hi everyone, Deanna here with another inspirational project for the Dies R Us blog.  Here is what I have for you today.

This fun die is the Tutti Design Snow Globe Scene die. Many of these dies are very intricate dies to cut.  Tutti Designs makes a metal adapter plate to use when cutting these dies.

The adapter plate acts as a shim to help ensure these dies cut properly the first time. I layer my base plate, then my no cut cutting pad, then my die face up. Next I put the card stock on top of the die then my cutting plate and then my metal adapter plate.  I then run everything through my die cut machine and get a perfect cut. You can use this adapter plate with other intricate dies besides Tutti Designs.

For the card itself, I used some distress watercolor paper and stormy sky and chipped sapphire distress and inked about half to two thirds of the paper to create a sky for my card.  I lightly spritzed it with some water to distress the sky a bit. The distress watercolor paper is pre cut to 4 1/4 X 5 1/2".

Once I had the sky ready, I rounded the corners of the card stock and attached my snow globe die.

Now, what's a snowy scene without some glitter.  So I used my zig two way glue pen to apply some adhesive to the snow areas of the die cut and applied some Hero Arts prisma glitter to the areas.

Next I cut a white card and scored it to make a 4 1/4" X 5 1/2" card base.  I rounded the corners so they matched the card front.  I attached the card front to my card base.  I added some snowflake sequence to the card and it was finished.
