Hi Bloggers.
This is the card that I messed up when I demoed it last week so I thought I'd explain how it should be done here!
So, first I cut the aperture out of Foundations patterned paper using the backing die from the Spellbinders CFT Puzzle Effect Die Set. After I had embossed it, I left the die in place and then placed the piece over a larger piece of Foundations Shades Paper. I placed the corresponding CFT die inside the aperture, secured it and then removed the aperture piece including the backing die (this is what I forgot to do in the demo). I ran the CFT die through the Grand Calibur, embossed it and the folded and tucked in the appropriate places.
I cut 2 of the little corner style pieces out of Foundations Shades paper using the CFT Diamond Strips & Accents die set, folded and tucked them and then put them together securing with a brad.
I cut 3 corners using the French Frills die set and 3 curves using the Puzzle Effect die set and added them as shown.
I stamped the sentiment from the Creative Expressions Trees of Imagination Stamp Set using Jet Black Archival and embossed with Cosmic Shimmer Clear Embossing Powder. I cut it out using the tag die from the Diamond Strips & Accents die set and folded and tucked.
I assembled the card as shown and added some dots of Cosmic Shimmer Pearlescent PVA in Silver Lustre around the edges.
Thanks for stopping by.
Julia.

It'd beautiful Julia and I love the way you have made the greeting! Carole Z X
ReplyDeleteHi Julia, a really lovely example of using these dies, love the use of the corners in the centre and the tag is just fab. Bx
ReplyDeleteMorning Julia, Love, love, love this card, I love the puzzle effect dies and the sentiment tag is gorgeous, I will have to give this a try doing it step-by-step, at first look it sounds quite complicated, for me anyway ha ha, I will have to re-read ha ha.
ReplyDeleteLots of love from Patricia xx
Good Morning Julia,
ReplyDeleteA really pretty card, love the little sentiment accent, didn't buy these dies, wasn't too sure if I wanted them, as I don't use the other CFT dies, you have really done them justice, might have to think again,
Have a good day.
