Hi Everyone
I saw this great challenge across at AAA Cards
Wow… now that made me stop and think. How do I create a card using only die-cuts – no stamping! I had such fun with this challenge and decided to make the most of some DSP and a couple of Dies.
You might recognize one of the elements from my post yesterday 🙂
Here's a closeup of the elements from the two die-cuts I used – a sentiment and a butterfly.
I took a piece of the fabulous DSP from Altenew – I love the big, bold, graphical images on it. I die-cut the sentiment out of the DSP and then 3x out of 80# Neenah Solar White. I adhered the layers together and used the in-laid die-cut technique to place it back into the opening.
For the butterfly, I die-cut the butterfly out of a matching piece of DSP and then mounted it just above the sentiment. I made sure that I cut the butterfly from just the right place on the second piece of DSP so that it would blend with the background in the same way as the sentiment did 🙂 I placed a small piece of foam tape underneath each wing to ensure that it stayed lifted from the card base. All I need to do was add a gold enamel dot and some shimmer and shine to the butterfly
Here's my card:
Isn't that paper gorgeous? I love it and think it works really well with the in-laid die-cut technique.
I'll be back tomorrow with another post for you. In the meantime, warm hugs and prayers for those of you who need a little lift tonight.
Hugs
Jaydee

Wonderful use of that dsp, makes for a very classy and beautiful card. Thanks for joining in with the current challenge at AAA Cards.
Well you knocked it out of the park! Love that paper and your die-cuts sure did enhance it!
Absolutely beautiful . . . this technique is beautiful . . . I remember when I learned with you the fact of just punching the same die cut and then gluing it togeher . . . at that time I bought the die “HELLO” . . . this technique goes a little farther. Thanks Jaydee!!

Wow, that dsp looks like you’ve created it with a paintbrush! So bight and cheery! Great technique used too, I don’t see that very often. Love this one Jaydee!
