Fun with border dies

Hello everyone – I pulled out some long retired dies and had a little Fun with border dies.

If you are like me you have quite a few border dies and you don’t use them very often. I decided to play with them in a recent You Tube Live to make some fun cards.

Today’s Project

I love finding fun ways to used my dies and then sharing them with you. Check out these 2 ideas I designed in a recent Live.

The first card uses a die that I love! When the bundle came out I ordered it immediately. To accent that pretty die I cut the edge out of a white panel and then mounted it onto a Petunia Pop card base.

The second card uses a die that reminds me of clouds. I paired it with the fun rain boots. To give my boots a shiny look I added a layer of Glossy Accents. When I did that it caused the ink to bleed and change color. The boots should be red and not that neon orange lol!
