Use Gel Prints for more than backgrounds. Sweeten up your candy apple dies with this fun gel print option.
Today’s fun fall card is from Lisa, who is using items from our new “Midnight Mischief” Release. Lis says, “I love the 5840-02d Candy Apples Die from the latest release! It’s great for Halloween but also awesome for every other kind of card.” We love how this project turned out and looks like the best way to have a sweet day! Follow along with Lisas steps to recreate this awesome design.
- I started with a gel print I created using acrylic paints and the 4204 Bokeh Stencil-6×6 2 parts and cut it with the largest rectangle from the 5013d Nested Rectangle Small Stitch Die Set
- Next the Candy Apple pieces were cut out… the apple from a gel print, the white chocolate dip from some white textured cardstock, and the handle from plain cardstock. The sprinkles were cut from foiled toner paper.
- Then the apple was assembled… I like to cut two of the sticks and glue them together after one is stuck into the slot for the stick. I find it easier to work with it this way with a sturdier stick.
- The middle die from the 5500-02d Outside Scallop Frame Die set was cut from metallic cardstock and popped up onto the background.
- Next the apple was popped up inside the frame and added to the card.
- Streamers were cut from foiled gel prints using dies from the 5804-03d Streamers Die.
- The sentiment was cut from three different colors of foiled toner paper using a die from the 5842-01d Sweet Treat Saying Dies.
- Then I placed the sentiment with liquid adhesive, popped up the streamers and glued on the remainder of the sprinkles around.
