While Sweet Stampin' is very much a stamping challenge blog, we also appreciate the role die cutting has to play in creating lovely cards, tags, gift boxes and layouts. So, this fortnight, we're celebrating dies and die cut images for our challenge, although you must include some stamping as well!
Provided the pieces aren't too small, I love a bit of die-cut inlay, so that was my choice for my DT make
The die set is from Concord and 9th and I used mostly C&9th cardstock. If you're into batch-creating, these cover dies are a dream to work with. There are a few ways of doing this, but what works best for me is to cover my card base with a double-sided adhesive sheet (tape would also work). I cut a few panels in co-ordinating cardstock and choose one of these as my base cardstock panel, popping out the pieces before adhering the panel to the card base. After that it's just a question of choosing your colours and filling in the gaps.
The banner and sentiment are also from C&9th; the sentiment was heat embossed in gold and I popped up the banner using some foam squares. I added a few sequins and dew drops from my stash to complete my design.
We'd love you to play along with us and you have two weeks to upload your creation over at the Sweet Stampin' challenge blog.
Have fun!
