Clean & Simple Blog Hop; Pretty Pop-Up dies

Welcome to the Control Freak's May blog hop!  The theme is Clean & Simple projects. 

Control freak welcome Save

You may have just arrived or hopped over from Wendy's blog.  I'm sure you loved her unique projects. 

For some reason when I think of clean & simple I lean towards mostly white projects.  I've been wanting to play with my new Pretty Pop-Up dies so here is what I came up with for my first project:

It's almost all white; just a few accents of Balmy Blue & Petal Pink.  These Pretty Pop-Up dies do not cut all of the way through; they provide detailed texture and a 'peak' behind the die-cuts.  

I added a bit of color to some of the flowers and butterflies with Balmy Blue & Petal Pink light blends markers.  To get them to pop up a bit I pushed each die-cut outward with my Take Your Pick tool.  I adhered this 4" X 5 1/4" piece to a smaller piece of Balmy Blue card stock using mini dimensionals.

The greeting is from the Nature's Thoughts stamp set and on a die-cut from the Natural Prints dies.  I added a 1/4" strip behind this to bring in a bit of Balmy Blue. This card might not be considered true clean & simple but it does only have a few layers!  Ha!

I stuck with the Balmy Blue & White them for my second card but added a bit of Gray Granite with the Abigail Rose designer paper. 

I used the smaller oval die for this card and used one of the single dies for the White butterfly.

The greeting is stamped on a circle die from the Picture This dies and is from the Nature's Thoughts stamp set as well. There is a piece of Vellum card stock behind the Balmy Blue layer. 

You can see some of the dies I used in the photo below:

  • Earthen Textures card with video tutorial

    I made this card for last week's Live video.  I LOVE the colors and textures!  

    Earthen Textures 1 Save

    It features the Earthen Textures stamp set & dies bundle.  Unfortunately the dies are in low inventory so they may be unavailable soon.   But they'll be back I'm sure.  You can see them here.  

    My colors include Pretty Peacock and Pecan Pie.  The designer paper for the background is the Earthen Elegance seen here.  I also used the Distressed Gold paper on the large pleated fan/leaf.  The die creates folds so you can add a lot of texture and dimension on your projects.

    I stamped both die-cut vases in Pretty Peacock ink onto Vanilla card stock.  I then sponged Pecan Pie ink onto them.  I wrapped the tall vase 3 times with the Natural Wavy trim. I've been loving using this unique trim; it was unavailable for over a month but it's back now.
