We love using our dies in new ways- and taking this summer die and using it for winter card creations is giving us all that holiday joy!
Today’s wonderful “Christmas in July” card inspiration is from our designer Kendra. Kendra thinks the NEW ‘5922D Crashing Waves Cover Die‘ is perfect for those summer themed cards!! But when she saw it, it also sparked some wintery themed card ideas!! The cover die also reminds her of a wintery storm! We really adore how this card turned out, so follow along and see how to use a waves cover die to make a winter shaker card.
- Kendra started by creating a A2 sized card base from white cardstock.
- Die cut the ‘5922D Crashing Waves Cover Die‘ from white cardstock. Adhere a piece of acetate to the back side. Add foam mounting tape around the outside frame. To add some extra support Kendra also added some foam pieces in the larger areas of the cover die.
- Add sequins!
- Cut a piece of blue snowflake paper from the ‘2015 Snowflake Fun 6×6 Paper‘ to adhere to your shaker back. Adhere to card base.
- Die cut one large snowflake from the ‘5716-02D Large Snowflake Die‘ from glittery blue paper. Die cut one smaller snowflake from silver glittery paper. Adhere to left side of card base.
- Stamp the ‘Let It Snow’ sentiment from the ‘36045 Let It Snow Set‘ in black ink on white cardstock. Die cut with the 2.125″ circle from the ‘5821-02D Stitch Dot Nested Circle‘.
- Die cut the 2.25″ scallop circle from the ‘5029D Nested Circle Scallop Die‘ from silver glittery paper. Adhere sentiment layer with pop dots to glittery scallop. Adhere to bottom right of card base.
- Die cut each of the snowflakes from the ‘5513-07D Snowflake Dies‘ from white, glittery silver and glittery blue paper. Adhere around sentiment.
- Finish by adding rhinestones around snowflakes.
