Look at this gorgeous card! It's so bright, colorful and just plain fun! I made it on this week's Live video. My theme was to feature Bermuda Bay (a favorite of mine) and some sets of retiring dies I'll miss a lot!
I used the 'Picture This' dies seen here for the multiple circle windows. The White delicate leaves die-cuts are from the Splendid Stems dies; which I thought were still current! Oops!
Isn't it striking? It's almost like a rainbow effect with these bright colors. I adhered 1/4" strips of card stock to another layer of White (under the White window die). It's slightly smaller than the top one. Watch the video here to catch my tips on this technique
I used Coastal Cabana, Bermuda Bay, Mango Melody, Polished Pink and Berry Burst. The only two colors that will be in the next catalog are Coastal Cabana and Berry Burst! But I know we'll learn to love the new color line too. It's always sad to say goodbye to some of our favorites.
Next I shared a fun card featuring blues/greens and the Layering Diorama dies. They're discounted to $20.30 now.
The other dies used are the Amazing Thanks dies seen here (these were $27 and are now just $10.80).
And the Brilliant Wings dies shown above which include tons of butterflies in both solid and detailed dies that layer perfectly. They were $44 and are now just $17.60. See them here.
Here's how I adhered the strips to the back of the White die-cut piece. I die-cut the Layering Diorama shape first and then added these strips on the back side. It's a super fun way to show off your die-cut shape and use up those scraps you just cannot throw out!
Here are both projects shown together. I hope this inspired you to use up some of those paper scraps you're saving for 'someday'!
Here's the video I shared how to make the window card with the Picture This dies. Plus two other cool projects using up card stock strips! Click on the photo below. Don't forget to subscribe to my YouTube channel!
