Fun with dies for unique card

Hello Everyone – I played again with another idea from Positively Papercraft for the Fun with dies for unique card idea.

I love the simplicity of this card and the fact that it places all the focus on the central image. Using your stitched squares in a different way was lots of fun. I love how the dsp highlights the White card and butterfly. While the card looks complicated it really isn’t. Look at how the dsp sets off the unique layout.

This Fun with dies for unique card idea is easy to do.  Check out the video to see how to make it.

After I had the card made I wanted something small to go in the center of the diamond to not detract from the fun layout. The Meadow dies had a small butterfly that I could cut out and add to highlight the fun use of the dies.

Look at how the squares were used in the center of the diamond. Such a great way to extend the use of your dies.

The coordinating stamp set to the dies does not have a butterfly. I used the negative space left when I cut out the butterfly to ink the image in an ombre look for the inside of the card and envelope. I was attempting to mimic the dsp.

Use the negative left after you cut out your butterfly to decorate the inside of the card and envelope.  I used an ombre color pattern based on the colors in the dsp for the Fun with ideas for unique card.

To see the video showing how to make this card, here is the link for the You Tube Live.

Looking for another idea to use these dies? Check out this card that uses it as a window on the front of the card. The card uses the 2 smaller dies to create a platform for the flowers.

I love sharing ideas for ways to use your products in unique ways. This was just 1 I ran across that intrigued me and I had to figure out how to do it so I could share it with you.

I hope you enjoyed the Fun with dies for unique card creation and will give it a try.

Have a Marvelous Monday!
