My first card uses the new What the Doodle: Apple from PTI.
I also used PTI's Enclosed: Apple die to cut out the red frame and clear acetate to make my card into a shaker card. My sentiment is die cut from PTI's Wet Paint Die Collection III, and the rest of the card is stamped, and accessorized with washi tape, bakers twine, DSP, & sequins.
My 2nd card uses MFT's Gumball Machine die, which my dear friend Birgit shared with me...aren't stamping friends just the BEST?!!!
I die cut all the pieces from retired Pixie Pink (SU!), silver, and white cardstock, and then assembled and layered on top of a part of the Cover Plate: Pretty Frame die that I cut out in sparkly white cardstock, and then layered that on top of a piece of black and white polka dotted DSP. The gumballs were blended with shades of Pixie Pink ink, and then covered in Glossy Accents. A tiny tag (PTI) and some bakers twine finished off this fun little card.
My third card also used MFT dies:
This card uses the Blueprints #27 dies and the Hello die. The flowers and leaves and butterfly are all part of MFT's Build-able Bouquet and Tweet on You stamp sets and were colored with my Zig markers.
My 4th card uses dies from PTI's latest release:
I water colored my background first with Peerless water colors (Blue Sky), and then added the die cut Inspired: Faith and butterflies from the Color Pop Butterflies. The water colored layer was die cut with a Lil Inkers Stitched Rectangle die, and then matted on black and again on a white card base.
My last project isn't a card, but a die cut pillow box:
My pillow box was cut with SU!'s Square Pillow Box Thinlits die, and then decorated with PTI's Friendship Jar Flowers dies, which I stamped first and then die cut. I absolutely love how this turned out and am going to have a hard time giving it away! Thank goodness I have everything to make more if I miss it too much!! :0)
Hope you enjoyed seeing what I came up with using dies, and make sure you check out what BIRGIT has done using dies too...I just know she's going to blow you away with her crazy good talent!!
Thanks so much for stopping by and supporting us in our crazy addiction and love of stamping!! :0)
