Darnell's Weekly IDEAS prompt - week 2 "D" = Dies/Die Cuts, had me looking for something a bit different... and I found this large Sizzix Thinlet - Folk Art Stencil which I proceeded to die cut from Holographic card - on the pack it says to die cut the design on a card front and use the holographic behind to shine through... so I just did the exact opposite and then backed it with pink rice paper.
OHH, but then what do you do with all those lovely tiny die cut pieces... yes silly me decided to glue them all to a card front... well nearly all of them.
The two cards look pretty anyway.
Next I'm trying to keep up with making Christmas cards each post... so here are two easy ones using die cut sentiments from my stash and teaming them with some pretty background papers.
There's also lots of parcels with stripey paper so I'll join the challenge at Jingle Belles - Stars or Stripe Forever.
Thanks for stopping by my blog... have a wonderful week, Cheers Robyn
Oh, you have been busy Robyn - love both the cards with the holographic card - well done on making the most of the cardstock. Your first Christmas card is so cheerful, and the second one very traditional, but dramatic with the dark papers

Another card full of presents and it's a fab CAS design. Thanks for taking part again at Christmas Kickstart Challenge. Your die cut card is so lovely and using the waste made a fab second card. Lynn GDT.
ReplyDeleteFantastic design I especially love the subtle way the packages feature the stars and stripes! So pleased you could join our "Stars OR Stripes" fun at Jingle Belles this fortnight!
ReplyDeleteJust look at your cards using the mirror card - so cool! Love your CKC card. The paper and the sentiment just work so well togther. Thanks for joining Lynn and me again, Jo x
ReplyDeleteWhat a trove of designs, Robyn! I love that you are a rebel when it comes to instructions and that you, like me, enjoy the fiddly bits sometimes! That poinsettia pp is divine! If you want to link to the I.D.E.A.S. Calendar, just click on the logo in the side bar. I'm glad the calendar inspires you! Hugs, Darnell
ReplyDeleteBeautiful folk art stencil cards cut with the holographic paper. The variety of colours is so pretty! Not easy to glue down all those little pieces. Lots of patience needed! And two beautiful Christmas cards to build your stash. Great work Robyn! xx
ReplyDeleteI especially love your pink and silver card and the one with all the pieces.
ReplyDeleteI love that glittery sentiment with all of those holiday gifts ... so very glad you joined our Stars and/or Stripes celebration at Jingle Belles.
