Elegant and fun! Top Dog Dies July Release

July 30, 2014

Nicole P - Corset - 20140723-1

Welcome to Top Dog Die’s July Release! They have released few awesome and fun dies for you to play with and I am sharing couple of projects to inspire you today. So let’s get started!

First die I used on above project is using the Corset die. I love how elegant and detail this die looks. To pop out the die-cut piece, I cut out about 5 layers and adhered them together. This is one of the best ways to attach detailed cut out pieces to pop them out easily. I found a background paper that has a lovely doilies pattern, I thought this would go really well with the corset die-cut piece.

The “Hi, Lovely” sentiment is from the Friendly Flowers Stamp Set from Simon Says Stamp. Don’t they look just perfect for each other? I attached couple of small sequins throughout the card and added a silver striped baker’s twine to dress up the corset die-cut piece.

For the second card, I used the Flower Lace Die as a stencil. This can be done so easily – cut out a scrap paper using the die and adhere it temporarily to go right on top of the card layer piece. Now you can use it as a stencil! I used few of Distress Ink Pads and Mini Blending Tools to create soft color background. The colors I used are Festive Berries, Picked Raspberry, Mustard Seed and Ripe Persimmon. Putting a background using stencils has been so easy and quick since Ranger came out with the Mini Blending Tool. It is a must have for me!

Don’t you just love the pattern of this die? This is one of my favorites from July release. For the sentiment, I used Winnie & Walter’s Big Bold and You Stamp Set and heat embossed with the Super Fine Ebony Embossing Powder from WOW. I love using the super fine embossing powders from WOW for sentiments and for any detailed images. They work so great!

    Happy Holidays and for those who are celebrating, Merry Christmas- Many of us are spending today in an unusual way this year, and many of us are also remembering those we lost. I ask that you keep others in your thoughts this holiday season 💕 sending hugs and loves to your way ❤️❤️

Made cookies and cheesecake brownies for our next door neighbors who are spending today alone. I added a little touch with stamps and inks to dress up the cookie boxes 🎁

    Happy view 🥰🥰 New ink storage system for my office/studio desk. I wanted the most used inks right at my fingertips and these Alex drawers hold them perfectly. I am keeping both full sized and cubes together, along with 1 mini cube blending tool for each color family. ❤️🧡💛💚💙💜 #scrapsandstamps #inkstorage #craftroom #craftroomorganization #homestudio
    Good morning and happy Saturday lovlies!! 👋🏻👋🏻 I just realized my last post about 3-4 months ago was a glance at my studio. Lots of things happened in the past few months and Ive been just too stressed out that I lost my desire to craft. 😣Its been a rough yr for everyone and Im ready for a new start! 😍 Are you?? Im going to start working towards getting some routines where I can feel better and add creativity back to life. Why wait till Jan? We can start now 💕

I just moved and finally got around to finishing up my studio. Im such a perfectionist that it took me a while to get everything where I wanted. 😅 Im happy how it turned out and grateful that I can still have a place to work and craft. Im excited to share projects with you soon 🥰🥰🥰

    Took a couple of days off this week to recharge - mental break helps a lot! 👍🏻 While I enjoyed stay-home break, I finished swatching all of #danielsmithwatercolors - now I’ll build my own palette from these and start doing some watercolor with them. Seeing all these made me really happy 🥰🥰 Swatching watercolors are one of my fav ways to distress. What creative projects are you working on this weekend?? #watercolorswatches #watercolor #danielsmithwatercolor #danielsmithartistsmaterials #colorswatches

    I decided to do something new and challenging during this #stayathome time. Took a beginner calligraphy class by @piecescalligraphy and I cant believe how fast 90min went by!! 😍😍 I have a lot of practice to do but really enjoyed learning. These are some of the things we did. My p’s are pretty horrible 😂😂 Cant wait for the next session!

    Happy Monday everyone- 💕💕 I was itching for a change so the other day I moved things around a bit in my studio. (This happens more often than not 😂) Even just a tiny bit of change can bring a big difference and give a fresh feel to your daily norm. Controlling what we can and not losing hope 🙏🏻 I wish you a fabulous and lovely week ahead 💙

    More therapeutic watercoloring session - I find taking the time to color each image with watercolor really helps me to relax. I think it has to do with a slow moving, soft transition of the pigments and water.

This card was made using a brand new #altenewstatementflowers stamp set and #altenewspringgarden
