Morning, I'm back with another fab new release from Uniko.
This time it's a brand new set of matching dies for the Originally Organic Additions stamp set.
I'm not usually a great fan of these sort of dies but I must admit that for this tricky wreath style stamp it really works. On a square panel of white card I stamped the wreath then cut away the middle, then cut a piece of fun foam slightly smaller than the card and repeated the die cut.This allowed me to pop the whole panel up and stamp my greeting on the base card. There is a larger die that allows you to cut the whole wreath from a piece of card but for this I decided to just cut the center away.
I wasn't sure how I was going to do the flower elements, stamp then cut or visa versa but in the end I went with cut first then stamp as a little trick I was shown works a treat.
Using a scrap of card die cut the tiny flowers then place the leftover card in a MISTI over a sheet of copy paper. Place the stamps into the spaces and then close the MISTI and stamp through the template onto the scrap. When happy with the position of the stamps, place the die cuts in the template and away you go!
The images were coloured with Copics in the colours from the photo at Inspired by the little things.
OK, that's it from me but there's much more fab inspiration from the DT.
Ooozing pretty and elegant feminine tones Julie. So crisp, CAS and perfect. A delightful card and superb showcase of the new dies. They're ace aren't they! x
ReplyDeleteBeautiful! Wonderful take on the inspiration photo!
ReplyDeleteI do like the partially cut, centre only image. Nice idea
ReplyDeleteI had to read it a couple of times to understand 😂 but finally understand your tip with the Misti. Thanks for sharing it! x
I do like the way you've cut out the centre of the heart to reveal the words beneath! This is so beautiful!
ReplyDeleteI’m commenting backwards up the list of DT cards and I’m so impressed that so far you’ve all used the inside die on its own. That never even crossed my mind! Super card Julie!
ReplyDeleteYou've chosen an eye-catching design-and-technique combination to showcase the stamp and its companion die! Gorgeous!

Beautiful take on the inspiration! Thanks so much for playing along with Inspired By All The Little Things!
ReplyDeleteI love the way the die cuts out the centre to allow the sentiment to be stamped on a different layer - really creative. Your colouring is stunning and really brought the flowers to life - thanks so much for playing along with us at Time Out! Jill
