Elizabeth Craft Designs: Smile...I Love You (Joset January Release)

When I got this sentiments die set from the Elizabeth Craft Designs new January release, I knew exactly what I wanted to create with it. These cards are all about repetitive die cutting, which is a tedious and long process - completely worth it though (I think!). 

I wanted to create a few cards with a sentiment that would reveal another sentiment as your eyes read through the card. So for my first card I used the word 'smile' repeatedly until you finally then read: 'I love you'. 

Card 1: Smile. I Love You.



I first started by die-cutting the 'smile' word in five colours: Pale Peach, Pink Peach, Buttercream, Silver Grey and Pewter. 

A little tip: I adhered Elizabeth Craft Designs: Clear Double Sided Adhesive 5"x12" to the back of each card stock which quickened the process of adhering each word to the card front...its sticky stuff but well worth your time and effort to apply before hand so that your not using a glue pen to stick each word down. 

I then die-cut the words 'i love you' in silver glitter card stock and again 3x in white. This was then adhered together to create dimension on the card (see below). 

After all the die-cutting was completed it was a process of placing them down, making sure to avoid repeating colours. Any letters that were hanging off the card front was trimmed off and the card front was adhered to a card base (using the same card as the die-cut words). I finished each card with a few enamel dots and twine. 

Below are a few more examples using the same technique.

Card 2: Friends...Forever, Always.

Card 3: Happy Birthday, Let's Celebrate.

Growing in Unity: Day 1

Image
Yippee!! After waiting 11 months, 10 days, it's finally my week to share my Unity cards. 5 whole days of inspiration is coming your way...oh! and lets not forget the sponsored giveaway by Unity at the end of my week - a grab bag with 25 random stamps! My first card I decided to use one of my favourite sets - I actually combined two (no, three!) Unity sets that really go well together. How do you use your Unity stamps? Would you mix and match them? When I first starting stamping (15 years ago) the thought of mixing sets would make me cringe - but now... no problems! I think it's a great way to make the most of your stamp collection. Here are my cards using Unity: Tumbleweed Houses , On My Way and Gypsy Journal (sentiment only) I coloured the images using a few of my ZIG brush pens and cut them out with my silhouette (for those who are visiting me for the first time - I try to avoid fussy cutting!) I added a few sewing machine details and adhered the hous...

A Spring Inspired Card...

Image
This week (or should I say the last few weeks) have been super crazy busy! We got good news, my Hubby renewed his work contract with the option to move back home to Adelaide (which of course we jumped at!) So...we are now packing our belongings in to boxes and the worst room is...come on! have a guess! :) Yup!! My craft room... But its mostly packed up, with the exception of a few stamps, paper packs, a handful of embellishments and my copic markers.  Last week, in between all the craft room packing (I got distracted a few times!) I created this card, its from Unity's ...bunches of love stamps. I decided to make a few, I hate having left over paper, so I tend to create a card (generally for someone's birthday coming up) and then duplicate it so I have a stash of cards for those occasions you forget someones birthday coming up!  This was the perfect stamp set to do this! While stamping, I wished I had that misti tool Ive seen a few times now through youtube videos,...
