More Circle Shaped Cards

Easel Card
Hi Everybody,

Here are the other circle cards made in the vidoe from Tuesday and I think they are all really pretty cards.

Each one will need a box to be made for it as the depth of the flowers doesn't allow it to be placed in an envelope.

But they will obviously go to someone special and so it will be well worth it when they are ready.

I have prepped the next video and it will be on the same idea of using one set of dies and getting different looks for the cards and next time it will be squares.

I hope you can join me then and maybe give some of them a try with the dies that you already have

5x7 Card
With this pink 5x7 card I felt that there was too much white space left on the front.

So I took a stencil and with some pink ink I added random areas on the background and that made me happier.

Have you started to re visit your older dies again to see what you can do with them.??

Die cutting has always been my favourite technique because it is so quick and easy and the work is done for you. It is simply playing with the die cuts until you get something that please your eye.

Bye for now ...

Hugs xx

  5. Hi Christina. Like you, die cutting is my favourite technique too and I’ve got quite a few square dies so I’m really looking forward to your next video! Having said that, I haven’t played with the circles yet, just been too busy🥴 but I will get round to it soon, I hope!

  6. Hi Christina
    You have given me some encouragement to get my dies out - have been more into stamping these days so I think it's time for something different for a change. My preferred one is the blue one but both are stunning.
    Hugs and best wishes

  10. Yes I agree too much white space sometimes, beautiful cards and will really be appreciated by the eventual owner. I only have basic circle dies I love the fanciest on these.

  15. Beautiful cards indeed, love your color combo and clever use of the dies. I hesitate to use dies because of difficulty to cut through paper properly.
