Happy Friday everyone!
Crafter's Companion just launched a brand new line of dies.
Die'sire Create-A-Card Card Base Dies! They are FANTASTIC! You gotta check 'em out. 6 new sets of dies that cut a perfect shaped card base! YAY!
Here's a fun card I made using the
Ruth Create-A-Card Card Base Die.
I LOVE this shape! It can be used for so many crafting styles. As you can see, it worked perfectly for a "dude" card.
I die-cut the base card using
Crafter's Companion Kraft Cardstock. I used the
Just For Men 6" x 6" Checkerplate embossing folder to add texture to the bottom of the card. To finish the top edge of the textured area, I cut super thin strip of paper from the
Just For Men 6" x 6" Paper Pad Urban Collection paper pad and adhered. I also added a thin strip at the top of the card edge. Don't you just love how small bits of detail like that really add to the design?!
I went to town using a bunch of goodies from the
Just for Men Colletion by Sara Davies. What a fun card for that special "dude" ;) All the
cogs and gears are die-cut and embossed with the best
silver mirror cardstock on the planet! (shhhhh! It's from Crafter's Companion...and is coming soon! But you didn't hear that from me.) Some fun stamping and distressing. "
Happy" is actually die-cut through the card front with a piece of
designer paper from the Urban Collection Pad adhered on the inside of card -- to the back of the card front. Then I die-cut a single panel of the same size die from
kraft cardstock and adhered the back of the card font... to give the inside a professional finish.
I die-cut 1 layer of the smaller size "
Ruth" die, from a piece of
Just for Men designer paper by placing the "non-cutting edge" of the die at the edge of the paper. After die-cutting, I lightly sponged distress ink before adhering to the inside of the card. We don't see a lot of crafters posting the inside of a card...so I wanted to make sure YOU know that the inside does matter. Bringing in some elements of the card front to the inside of the card
really makes it "Epic" ;)
I'm loving all the new goodies from
Crafter's Companion. And...there's more to come...just sayin ;)
