Hello
Everybody!
It is
day one of three of our New Release!
We
have three amazing NEW products for you to play with.
Using
these three latest items I created these cards.
For
the Barn Die Set I started my card by creating a
base using the Circle Frames Die Set and
white card stock.
To
create the card front I used a piece of
blue
Paisley and green gingham cardstock from the NEW Farmyard Paper Pad.
Overlapping the pieces of paper and then using
the sea border dye die cut them together.
The paper now fits together like a puzzle.
I
use the scalloped circle frames die to line everything up and check my
placement
for
where I was going to put my barn when the card was finished.
Once
I was satisfied with my barn placement, I removed the barn die and then taped
down the
Circle Frames Die to the two pieces of
paper and ran it through my die cut machine.
Even
though this is a few different steps to die cut the process creates
a great focal point for the background of my
card front.
Next, I turn my
attention to die-cutting out all the pieces for the barn.
I
assembled my barn pieces on a separate piece of white card stock and glued
everything down.
The
sentiment comes from the Moo Stamp Set and I use the banner
from the Frames and Flag Die Set.
To
assemble this card, I glued my die cut card stock to the front of my card.
Then, attached the banner to the back of the
barn and then popped all the pieces up with foam tape.
I
added drops of golden stickles to my hay and this shaped card is complete.
FOR THE TRACTOR DIE SET
I
started by choosing two pieces of paper from the Farmyard Paper Pad that compliments
each other.
Using
the largest stitched rectangle die from the Basic Frames Die Set to cut
both pieces out together.
After
stacking the two pieces, I used a sharp Rotary blade to divide the pieces up
into four triangular sections.
I
reassembled and glued those sections down onto white card stock creating two
different card fronts.
I
placed the two card fronts aside to dry and then die cut all the pieces of the
tractor.
Assembling
the Tractor Die Set was so much fun I added a
bit
of bling by using silver card stock for the stack and light.
The
stitched rectangle from the Basic Frames Die Fits perfectly
inside the Frames and Flags Scalloped Die.
This
made deciding my card base quick and easy.
I
created my card base with light-yellow card stock.
I
chose one of the created card fronts and hand cut it out.
Assembling
this card was easy, I added my card front to the base.
To
create a place for my tractor I used one of the NEW Hexagon Dies and
white card stock.
That
was glued directly on to the card front.
I
glued my tractor on to the hexagon next.
Finally,
I created simple sentiment banners from the Farming Fun Stamp Set
and
added those to the front of the card with foam tape.
I hope you enjoyed my take these latest items
that we have on this release.
