Die Cuts or Stencils is the newest challenge over on the Addicted to Stamps & More blog!
With the holidays approaching, I was inspired to pull out my Christmas supplies and create a festive card. After watching Jennifer McGuire’s You Tube video, Creating 2-for-1 Unique Cards, I decided to give her second card design a try.
Rather than using two layers for my card, I experimented with creating a single card base and attaching the pop-out element to a 4.25" x 5.5" panel. I love how the card folds flat, making it easy to mail! I’ll probably make another one using my leftover pieces, but this time with a different color card base.
For the foliage, I die cut all the pieces from Pinkfresh Studios Holiday Foliage die set using off-white cardstock, then ink blended each piece using the coordinating stencils to add color and depth. And then the fun began—arranging all that foliage until I was happy with the design!
I hope you’ll join us for our Die Cuts or Stencils Challenge over at Addicted to Stamps & More. We’d love to see what you create! Thanks for stopping by my blog.
In kindness, Cathy
