Todays cards are made with Heartstrings Dies that I purchased with a gift card from Christmas (thanks Sue!). A sale, coupon and a gift card makes this girl a very happy shopper! Starting with a piece of shiny gold specialty paper, I cut using the Gemini Jr. This die cuts the negative pieces but to get it as a separate piece you need to use the outline die. Did not realize this until I started to play and decided to make two cards.
I already had made some backgrounds using a stencil from Carabelle Studios called Tricot and some ink from Hero Arts. I tend to make more than one background at a time when I pull out stencils. They were die cut with Stitched Rectangles and then I began assembling the cards. The first card has the panel raised with a piece of fun foam and the smaller heart has foam tape under for dimension. The sentiment is from Ribbon Messages from Hero
arts and it includes a corresponding die. Congratulations was stamped with Tuxedo Black Ink and die cut with the Gemini Jr. It was also raised with foam tape. All of this is adhered on my green card base.
Card number two used the remains of the first gold die cut. They were pieced in place, with a lot of adhesive on the card base. The sentiment is from Ornate Love and stamped with Tuxedo Black in my Mini Misti. Thank goodness I did because several stampings were needed. Finally, some sequins were attached with glue. One of these will be an Anniversary Card for my parents who are celebrating 60+ years of marriage!!
Have a great day and keep on creating!
