Tip for Using Detailed Dies

When using detailed dies like on the evergreen trees. Apply adhesive sheets to the back of your cardstock/glimmer paper/foil sheets before you die cut your images. It will make adhering the images much easier than trying to put small dots of liquid glue on them. In fact, I recommend that you have at least a 5 1/2″ x 4″ piece of each color cardstock backed with an adhesive sheet in your stash so it will be ready when needed.

Thank you for stopping by to read my blog. I’d love to have you first order the supplies to make this card for yourself and then to leave a comment so I know you have been by.

Image shows the suggested January Paper Pumpkin Cards

I had such fun creating January Paper Pumpkin Alternatives! Yes, the cards designed for the kit as shown above are adorable but did you know that the kit comes with a complete stamp set with images to use with your own designs? The heart filled with little hearts is preprinted on the card base that comes with the kit but the stamp set includes that image as a stamp. Check out this card I created with that heart image.

I stamped cascading hearts and flowers down from the heart with a second stamp from the set. The greeting ‘Love you’ is two separate stamps from the set which I combined together on one block. It fitted nicely into the Stitched So Sweetly die. The kit came with slightly more black ribbon than needed for the predesigned cards but not enough for more than one card so I used baker’s twine from the Playful Pets Trim Combo Pack to make a bow. The Paper Pumpkin kit includes the color Poppy Parade which is also one of the colors in the SAB free paper bundled with the free Berry Blessings stamp set. The Poppy Parade checked dsp made a perfect layer on this card front.

I created a second January Paper Pumpkin Alternative using the adorable snail stamp which makes me smile. If the real ones that love to dine on my flowers looked so cute, I might be more tolerant of having them in my flower beds. 🙂 Again, I used the Poppy Parade checkered dsp from the free Berry Blessings bundle as a layer on this card. I will use the samp with the word ‘Love’ often because of the beautiful font. I had just enough of the included black ribbon to tie it around the card front of this card. If Stampin’ Up! sold it individually, I would buy a roll as the size is just perfect for adding a black accent.
