The Balloon Festoon bundle is a new favorite of mine. The multiple sizes of balloon dies are just wonderful and perfect for any celebratory event. See it here.
I used the 12 X 12 Pool Party 2-tones card stock for the diagonal layer. It’s 12″ X 5 1/4″ scored every 4″. Then simply cut at an angle from the lower left to the upper second score line.
They've updated the Clearance Rack with more products! Including stamp sets! But beware that many are in French. Be sure you get English if you want it. See it all here.
I made this pretty card using the In the Country stamp set from our Sale-a-Bration promotion. It's called a Triptych layout. It's a great way to showcase a detailed stamp set.
The card on the left has the large, sponged & colored die-cut on the front. But the card on the right is the colored layer underneath the other. So cool! I show how this is done with the small Blending Brushes in the video here.
I used three colors for these cards – Daffodil Delight, Mint Macaron and Calypso Coral. It also features Very Vanilla which I don't use often enough. I found the small blending brushed worked really well for the detailed areas on the die-cut. You can see these brushes here.
Here are both cards with the actual colored die-cut piece on the front.
I accented it with the Sentimental Park, Stylish Shapes and Amazing Thanks dies. Also a few Brushed Brass Butterflies finished the garden feel of these cards.
Below are the cards that show off the area under the sponged die-cut. The colorful sponging reveals the die-cut detail on the Vanilla but the flowers and leaf areas are colored. I love this 2 for 1 technique! I'm sure you have some dies you could use like this too.
