This Nested Die set is amazing, and we just love this colorful and fun way to make two cards with each cut.
Today’s bright card creation comes from our designer, Amy, who said, “This time of year I really long for a tropical vacation. Since I’m not traveling this month how about a rainbow themed card duo? I love how some products give you a two for one that results in a bonus card. Today’s projects started with the shaker and because of the die cutting, I had enough to make my 2nd card.” SWEET! Follow along as Amy shows us some colorful ways to use the Wavy Nested Dies.
First I’ll chat about the shaker:
- After I decide on my color palette and pull the cardstock I want to work with, I start die cutting using the 5737-02D Wavy Nested Dies. I used all but the largest size.
- I stack the panels in order, making two piles.
- I use scrap cardstock in the coordinating colors for my project and die cut the confetti from the 5803D Slice of Birthday Cake Die. TIP: This makes for great postal friendly shaker bits.
- I stamp and heat emboss the You are Amazing sentiment in gold.
- To make the shaker element, I use upcycled stamp packaging to capture the shaker bits.
- I start with an A2 panel and center my sentiment/shaker element.
- I use liquid glue and start from the smallest wavy opening and put glue on the bottom and center it with the sentiment. I keep doing that until I end up on the white panel.
I had enough of the Wavy Nested die cuts to make this bonus card.
- I just added an A2 White panel as a base and layered the largest 5028D Nested Rectangle Scallop Nested Die.
- I used liquid glue and stacked all the Wavy Nested die cuts.
- I used a sentiment from the 35015 Birthday Celebration stamp set, heat embossed in gold on the purple panel
