My cards this month (yes I said cards) is because I used one die cut and used it for two cards. I used both the negative and the positive for my cards.
I will show you my cards and explain what I did.
I took a piece of glossy card stock and colored it with distress oxide inks. I then used the glaze over the top and brought all the colors to the surface.
I covered the back of my card stock with a full sheet of adhesive. This is a blessing when you are working with these small pieces. I used my cover plate die and cut the card stock. I also cut it out of white card stock.
On the second card I adhered the background with all parts removed from the white card stock which was die cut. I adhered it to a piece of the same size white card stock. I had also added lots of adhesive with my tape runner to the white base. I then very carefully removed each little piece of the blue die cut and inserted it into the white background. The adhesive on the back of each piece plus the adhesive I had added to the white base made sure each little piece was stuck firmly.
I took the blue background and adhered it (remember it has adhesive on it already) to a piece of dark blue card stock. This really make the die pop.
This is how I got two cards from one beautifully colored die cut.
To complete this card I die cut three layers of the "Thanks" and adhered them together before adding to the card front. I stamped a sentiment in navy to pop up below the die cut sentiment.
I really struggled with finishing this beautiful background. I finally settled on this very simple bold flower cut from dark blue. I cut this with my Silhouette. I die cut the hello from dark blue and white card stock. A couple beautiful embellishments completed the card.
