Hi there,
Today I'd like to share a different kind of card for me, i.e. no glitter or flocking! Picking myself off the floor! This card was made for the Dies R Us Design Team.
Just an FYI, the die I used today is a fraction of it's original price - $5.60 instead of $22.49, so grab it now if you can! I hadn't realized that when making this card and it is much bigger than I had thought it was too. This card ended up being just a little shy of a 5 x 7.
First, I stamped the plaid background from Concord & 9th in Versafine Clair Charming Pink. I used my Stamp Platform to do this to get good coverage.
Re-inking and stamping three times, gave a nice even result.
Once it was dry, I die cut the Die-Versions Happy Birthday Solo Sentiments die from the middle of it, being careful that I didn't lose any of the little negative pieces. Then I ran black cardstock through with the same die.
A piece of Super Adhesive Tape was stuck to the back of the plaid negative piece and the black Happy Birthday outline was placed in the sticky space. The little plaid pieces were inserted into their respective spots. I neglected to take a photo of that ... my bad!
The plaid piece was then popped up with little mounting foam strips, but I moved it all slightly intentionally to the left.
Another "Happy Birthday" was die cut from another piece of black cardstock that would be used as the layer on top of the card base. This was then taped again slightly to the left so that it achieved more dimension.
The black piece was then layered to a white card base and then the focal panel was taped on top. A piece of black and white cord was tied around the top of the card to finish it off.
Here are the products that I used in my project today:
Concord & 9th Plaid Background Stamp
Super Adhesive Sheet
Mounting Foam
Black and White cord

Isn't It nice when we try something different.I loved the plaid background and the die-cuts font are fun to look at .
ReplyDeleteBright bold and beautiful! Love how you've achieved he dimension - great technique and it looks fabulous.

Wow now that die makes one BIG birthday statement! I love the big and boldness of it and love how you have stacked it for dimension...but wait NO glitter...not you LOL!!
ReplyDeleteThis is so striking! I love the plaid background and the tehnique with the saying.
ReplyDeleteShona, what a fabulous idea to create an eclipse card, but off-center the top layer so that the dimension is eye-intriguing! I love this card! Thanks for the heads up about the size of the card. Looks amazing! (laughing that you made a card without glitter or flocking!) It's refreshing on occasion to do that, isn't it? But then it feels like we've left something off that should be on there! LOL hugs, de
ReplyDeleteYour card is so striking with the colours you've used. I thought you'd used plaid patterned paper until I read it was stamped. What a lovely stamp to have in your collection. xx
ReplyDeleteWell I never, no glitter or flocking, what was I going to see, - a Super card in every way, that's what I see. With the plaid stamping, the layering of the sentiment and the colour combo, EXCELLENT work and result Shona.

This so amazingly well done. I love the gingham and the fun way you did the sentiment.
ReplyDeleteWait .. what? Is this Shona's blog? No flocking? No glitter? :) I see a while lot of GORGEOUSNESS! This is so fun - I love the detail of the popped up Happy Birthday and the black gives is that extra OOMPF! Super!
ReplyDeleteWhat a great card, Shona! I really like that plaid background, and I love what you did with the die! It's very effective! :o)
