Hello there! Happy Wednesday! I am excited to share a new project with you, a card that is almost completely done using die cuts. This is a great way to get more use out of your dies and hope you enjoy today’s post!
I am joining a fun blog hop to celebrate Altenew’s June 2018 release. They are some amazing stamps and dies to play with, and they also have yummy colored envelopes! Make sure to check all the links below, everything is laid out in the supplies list for you to check them out easily. Also, there are giveaways! So stay with me and scroll down to see more details.
My baby sister’s friend is getting married at the end of this month, so I had an idea to create a wedding card for her to give along with the wedding gift. “H” represents the new last name the bride will be getting so I decided to create a project around that. What a perfect use of the new Mega Alpha Die H!
I cut the H die with the Gold Foil Cardstock (one of my favorite specialty cardstocks to work with) and placed it on a Navy cardstock. On the card base, I used the Pinstripe Stamp Set with Desert Night Ink to create a subtle background for the focal point.
Around the letter H, I cut out a few of leaf-shaped die cuts using the Leaf Canopy Die Set using some light gray cardstock and Vellum Cardstock. I wanted to keep everything clean and simple, so no stamping was involved here.
The only stamping other than the background I did was to create a sentiment for the card. The bride has chosen burgundy red as her wedding color, so while keeping the sentiment very clean and simple, I wanted to match the wedding color. So this was done using a sentiment from the Sweetest Pea Stamp Set with Grapevine Ink.
That wraps up the card! This can be simply done using a few die sets you have, to create clean, simple, yet dimensional cards. Hope you enjoyed it!
