The partial die cutting technique used with the Fluffiest Friends stamp set from Stampin' Up! to make a card - Technique Tuesday Blog Hop

Honey Bear card – Technique Tuesday Blog Hop

Hello and welcome to the Tuesday Technique Blog Hop where we are sharing projects made using partial die cutting. I have used the adorable Fluffiest Friends stamp set and Dies to make my card.

Colours in this card are:

 

To recreate the honey bear card, you will need:

Thick Basic White card base – 8¼” by 5⅞” – scored at 4⅛”
Thoughtful Journey dsp – 5⅜” by 3⅝”

Scrap Mossy Meadow card

 

Using Multipurpose Liquid Adhesive I glued the panel of Thoughtful Journey dsp to the front of the Thick Basic White card front.

slid a circle die from the Stylish Shapes Dies behind the die cut part of the image and die cut it.

The stamped panel was then glued to the Early Espresso panel. At this point I decided to stamp the sentiment in Early Espresso directly onto the panel………. Big mistake as it wasn’t straight…… So I stamped it again onto scrap Basic White card and die cut it using one of the dies from the Greetings of the Season Dies. This cut down and glued over the original stamped sentiment.

Such a pretty card.

A beautiful stained-glass heart card made for the Technique Tuesday Blog Hop using the Friends For Life Dies and the Something Fancy stamp from Stampin' Up!

Stained-Glass Heart Card – Technique Tuesday Blog Hop

Hello and welcome to the Share It Sunday Blog Hop where we are sharing a project we have been working on recently. I have chosen to share a congratulations card designed, using the Friends For Life Dies and the stained glass window technique, to celebrate the wedding of my daughter and son in laws friends. I was inspired by a card made by Susan Wong for the Crafty Carrot……..

Colours used in this card are:

 

To recreate the stained-glass heart card, you will need:

Azure Afternoon card base – 8¼” by 5⅞” – scored at 4⅛”
Shy Shamrock card – 5⅜” by 3⅝”
Basic White card – 5¼” by 3 ½”
Basic White card – 5½” by 3¾”

Silver Foil – 3¼” by 3”
Scrap Basic White card

 

I ran the 5¼” by 3½” piece of Basic White card through the Stampin’ Cut & Emboss Machine inside the So Swirly Embossing Folder. The embossed panel was then glued to the Shy Shamrock layer and then to the Azure Afternoon card base.

www.crafty-rootes.com – The Friends For Life Dies used with the Something Fancy stamp set to make beautiful stained-glass heart card for the Technique Tuesday Blog Hop

Using the Friends For Life Dies I die cut a solid heart from scrap Basic White card. The outline heart and the detailed heart were then placed onto the scrap Basic White card and secured together with washi tape from my stash. I then ran them through the Cut & Emboss Machine 4 times, cutting the heart apart from the outline each time. The outlines were set aside as I didn’t need them for this project.

I squirted some Multipurpose Liquid Adhesive onto the Silicon craft sheet and used a piece of sponge from my stash to add the glue to the back of one of the detailed hearts which was then glued onto the solid white heart. I stacked two more detailed hearts on top.

Then, I filled each negative space with a puddle of Fine Tip Glue and set it aside to dry for about 30 minutes. When the glue was dry and glossy, I glued the final white detailed heart in place hiding the messy edges created when I was colouring in the heart.

I die cut one last detailed heart from Silver Foil and glued it on top.

The sentiment, from the Something Fancy stamp set was stamped with Misty Moonlight ink and the decorated panel was then glued to the Misty Moonlight panel. A length of Azure Afternoon Ribbon was wrapped around the panel before it was added to the Highland Heather card front on Dimensionals.

Leaving the washi tape in position I stamped a couple of the images from the Delicate Forest stamp set in Pebbled Path ink onto each panel. I carefully removed the washi tape.

I inked the sentiment, from the My Small Business stamp set, using the three colours used for blending. I started with the ‘A and N’ which I inked up with Lemon Lolly ink, having masked off the other 4 letters. The remaining letters were then inked up and the whole world stamped in the blank area.
