Make it Monday #171: Pop Up Die Cuts

Betsy has a great video this week on how to use your dies and make them "pop up"!


I only have a couple PTI die's that are symmetrical, so I was a little limited this week.  Good thing I love the butterfly dies from "Life is Beautiful"!! :0)



I didn't want to completely copy Betsy's card, so I changed up the colors and also used the baby wipe stamp pad technique  from a few weeks ago.  Little hard to see, but the bottom layer of my butterfly and my sentiment were stamped using Melon Mambo, Real Red, Pumpkin Pie, & Pretty in Pink inks.  Fun technique and makes you look at your dies in a whole new way! :0)

Check out Betsy's video, beautiful card, and all the info to play along right here .

Thanks so much for stopping by!

Hey Marcia!! As you know, I love this die set. Its the best thing since sliced bread, lol!! Your colors are amazing. I started to do something like this but my color combination didn't turn out nice at all. You really nailed it here. My favorite it the twine for the antenna. Brilliantly done.
