Butterflies to Soothe the Soul

Project Inspiration: Butterfly Thinking of You by Brenda Noelke

Project Inspiration: Raindrops by Bobbi Lemanski

The Great Cover-Up

June 30, 2021      Papertrey Ink      Leave a Comment

 

Hi everybody, welcome to our next episode of The Great Cover-Up!  This weekly feature is all utilizing your die collection. Kelly will be your guide today!


Let’s get started!

It’s no secret that I love framing my cards with a die cut background underneath, but for today’s card, I decided to just keep going by adding additional die cut elements! This card is made up solely of die cut pieces with the exception of the small “Forever and Always” sentiment! We all love our stamps, but our die collection always deserves love, too, don’t you think? Have you ever covered a card completely with die cut pieces? Give it a try and maybe use some of those underutilized dies that deserve to be in the limelight!

 

 

STAMPS: Perfect Pairs: Commodities
INK: Pure Poppy
PAPER: Dark Indigo, Pure Poppy, Stamper’s Select White cardstock, gold specialty paper
DIES: To Die For Sentiments: God Bless America, Border Bling: Skinny Embossed Frame, Border Bling: Twinkle, Love to Layer: American Flag
OTHER: gold drops

STAMPS: Just Sentiments: Summer.
INK: Hibiscus Burst, Raspberry Fizz, Scarlet Jewel, Hawaiian Shores.
PAPER: White, Raspberry Fizz, Green Parakeet
DIES: Pierced Feature Frames, Feathered Friends 12, Love to Layer: Scalloped Circles.
OTHER: Washi Tape, Cuttlebug embossing folder

PRIZE

One winner will be chosen at random to receive a $25 gift certificate.
