Sizzix Mixed Media Diecuts

Hi Lovelies...

I've been playing with some Sizzix dies that I recently purchased.. and made two cards.  For the backing, I used a piece of watercolour paper that I'd used Distress Sprays on and wasn't happy with.  I've got to admit, this background had hit the bin, before I had to idea to use it behind these diecuts!

I adhered the diecut panels with 3D foam tape, to give depth.

Then I added a word die from Simon Says Stamp (a long time ago!) with the appropriate sentiment.  A few gems later, and it was done.

Honey Bee Stamps Daisy Layered Bouquet

Hi Lovelies..

Today I'm sharing a card I made for a lovely friend of mine... using some beautiful flowers over a basket weave stencilled background...

I coloured and fussy cut the flowers, then diecut a rectangle frame which I adhered to the stencilled background with 3D foam tape.  I adhered the flowers with foam pads..  then created a sentiment - heat embossing in silver then diecutting... again with foam pads.  Then I added the whole panel to a pink card base.

MFT Big Hello

Hi Lovelies...

Today I'm sharing a card that was inspired by the lovely Natalie at NB Cards on Facebook...  such a simple make but very effective!

Firstly I used Distress Oxides to blend on the lower part of my card panel, then I used a deeper pink to stamp lots of wildflowers.  

Once that was dry, I diecut the word HELLO from the panel, then cut it again 3 times from spare white card..  I adhered all of the diecut letters together, finishing obviously with the pink one. The letters then are quite deep so stand out. I adhered the panel to the pink card base, then adhered the letters back into their relative spaces.

Finally I added a little die-cut gold butterfly, to flutter above the flowers.

Gold Leafy Die

Hi Lovelies..

Today my card is obviously using my favourite colour (!)..  but in a couple of different ways.

Firstly I did a  bit of pink smooshing using my Distress Oxide ink pads and water, die-cutting a square after it was dry.  Then I die-cut a leafy branch from gold mirri card.  I adhered this with sticky dots to a die-cut circle of white cardstock, and then framed it with gold mirri matted behind.  I chose a small sentiment which I embossed with gold, and also matted that onto gold mirri.  Then I did lots of matting and layering of the pinks and white cardstock.

Card Info:

Leaf Die - sorry, no name but it's from a collection of leafy dies

MFT Birthday Candles

Hi Lovelies...

Today I have an 'unusual for me' card to share.... it's a masculine card!  I make them so infrequently, as they take me truly out of my comfort zone... but I really loved how this one turned out.

All I did was diecut some kraft card, both with a stitched square die and a stitched circle die..  then diecut the candles from dotty cardstock, and then finally the Celebrate word from gold mirri card.  I adhered the pieces as you can see, but used foam pads for the candles to give depth.

Alex Syberia Designs Floral Balloon Extravaganza

Hey Peeps...

Today I'm sharing a card using the fabulous Floral Balloon Extravaganza stamp set from Alex Syberia Designs.  Of course, it needed to be a pink balloon!

 I coloured and fussy cut the image, then stamped the sentiment and heat embossed in white on black card... which I also fussy cut.  I then added a small bit of cord for the balloon string.  

For the background, I diecut a rectangle, then splattered with lots of pink and gold watercolour paints.  Unfortunately, the gold was hard to pick up on the photograph but you'll just have to imagine it!  Lastly, I adhered the balloon and the sentiment with 3D foam pads to give depth, and added a tiny bit of glitter to the flowers.

Waffle Flower Postage Collection Wildflowers

Hi Lovelies...

Today I'm sharing another card I made with the Waffle Flower Postage Collection Dies and Stamps, but this time I used their Postal Collage Wildflower stencils to create the floral images on the panels.

Then I stamped the postmarks etc, before I cut each of the images from the original die cut... creating individual stamps.  I splattered them with gold watercolour paint, then adhered them with foam pads to a kraft cardstock diecut rectangle.

I added a diecut 'hello' using mirri card, then finally added some gold circle confetti pieces.

Dies - Waffle Flower Postage Collection, Hero Arts Hello Word Die,

Hope you like my card today.  I'm a little bit slower listing my cards on my blog lately, as to be quite honest, my craft room needs a massive sort out and it's getting to me a bit!  I keep thinking 'one day....'!
