For todays card I am using an older labels die from Spellbinders and creating the shaped base with the largest one. It is just simple layering of the different sizes and shapes with two colours
This always makes an interesting card and it can be done with most dies.
Try it with any that you have in your own collections as this die is now retired from Spellbinders website
Other Supplies:
- Flowers from Wild Orchid Crafts
- card from Papermill Direct
- Sentiment from Lili of the Valley
- Butterfly from my stash
Instructions:
From the largest die #5 cut two shapes in white
Score one of them along the long side about half an inch down and glue together to form the base
From the other dies in the Labels 39 and also the Decorative Elements cut the shapes in the colours you like
Layer them together so that a plain piece backs a fancy edged one each time and use foam pads to give dimension
Stamp and emboss your sentiment and cut out with a circle die or punch and add to the card front
Dress with flowers and pearls
The butterfly is from some that I have had a long time
Quick and easy card for today
More tomorrow ...
Hugs xx

Even if it is a retired die, it does not mean it is not still really pretty.
ReplyDeleteLovely card
Love how you use dies to make the card base - such a useful idea and this one looks so pretty. Thank you Christina.
ReplyDeleteThis is a very pretty card, the colours are absolutely stunning. I think I might just have this set of dies and will give it a go. Too bad I don't have the same colour of cardstock. Thanks for sharing. Dianne

ReplyDeleteBeautiful card Christina. I don't have these dies but will try to follow your tutorial with other ones in my stash. I never think to use the whole set of dies as you have but they work so well together. Xx
