The pretty card is created from Spellbinders Trendy & Simple Collection
It is called Glass Effects and it is a design that would suit any occasion or gender, color or style
Dress it up or leave it plan and either way the card will work for you.
And the simple words are from Sentiments Three and are very handy if your handwriting is not neat or you don't enjoy stamping.
This card features the part that the die cuts ....
... but if you are a careful with the removal of the positive part of the die then you can make another card.
You will need some double sided adhesive sheets to add to the bits that you would normally poke out of the die and just throw away
I have made a video to show you two ways to use it and there is no waste of card with this at all.
The video is not long but it shows you the fun way to get more for your money with one simple die.
And if you make the card in another color then it would be suitable for the men in your life too.
I have used a Silver ultra fine glitter on mine but you could also use Gilding Flakes with this technique for another look to your design
More tomorrow ...

Lovely cards again Christina. That die template wouldn't catch my eye at all BUT with your 'card making magic' added in, it becomes a definite 'hmmm maybe - yes, it could be very useful!' Thank you Christina for the great video and a look at your wonderful samples.

ReplyDeleteChristina,
ReplyDeleteGreat video, great technique, great cards. That die does lend itself for a masculine card, love that. I so do enjoy your videos, hope to see more soon.
I can agree with Mary- this die would not have been one that sparked my I interest, but because you showcased these lovely cards using it, I now see that it is a really nice looking, versatile die! Thanks for the tutorial- much appreciated! :-)
