Shaped card |
Today I am using oval dies that I have in my collections and I have chosen some dies from Spellbinders that are at the very least ten years old
It was a set that I very much loved and used loads when it was first introduced but like everything else it got pushed to one side as new items came on to the market.
I am sure that lots of other people have the same dies and have neglected them for so long.
But now I am on a revival kick and digging out all my old dies again and breathing new life into them
Shaker card |
Here are three of the cards from the video and you can do the same styles with any of the die shapes I have covered so far.
Once you start to play and experiment with the shapes I know you will be able to come up with so many more and have fun in the process.
This shaker card is lovely and I have linked to the parchment and mirror card that I have used below.
They are easy to make and the results are stunning
The card to the right is a DL and I often get asked
what is a DL card.
All it means is that the card is double the length of its width so for example my card is a 8 x 4" base.
But it could be a 6 x 3" card or any size you choose.
In the next video I will be covering my favourite size which is the 5x7 and showing you several ways in which I have used mine. I hope you will join me for that.
Bye for now ...
Hugs xx
