Looking for quick card ideas for Dad? We have two amazing cards using our new Silhouette Fishing and Golf Dies, that you just have to check out!
Today our designer Lisa is bringing us two unique card designs using the new Silhouette dies from the “Waves & Wins” May Release. Lisa said that she LOVES how the new silhouette die sets make it easy to create a quick card with a fun background. We think she did a great job assembling these cards and making them look like they took longer than they did to create. We hope you love these cards as much as we do; follow the steps below to recreate these Two Quick Silhouette Cards for Father’s Day.
Steps to make these cards:
- I started by die cutting panels of the various colors I wanted for my background using the 5013d Nested Rectangle Small Stitch Die Set. When I create a background landscape using dies I like to have all of my layers continue the stitch pattern of the background panel so I normally start like this. One base stitched panel was cut from blue cardstock and the other from a sheet from the 2018 The Scenic Route 6×6 Paper Pad By Melinda Stearns to serve as the skies for my scene.
- Next, the 5318d Mountains Dies were used to cut all of the layers for the background scene from the stitched panels I began with. I work from the bottom up to cut my layers, but adhere the uppermost layer first and then work back down the panel to attach each layer over the one above it.
- Then I die cut clouds from white cardstock using the 5613-06d Rainbow And Clouds Die and placed them on the scene popping some up with foam tape.
- The silhouettes from 5815-01d Silhouette Golfers Die and 5818-01d Silhouette Fishermen Dies were cut from black cardstock and added to the card. I love the included ripples and fish that come with the Fisherman dies! Those details really make that set!
- I chose the sentiment I wanted for the Golf card from the 37030 Par-tee Time 4×6 Stamp Set. The sentiment I chose was a bit long and hard to fit onto the card the way I wanted it to so I masked off each section and stamped it separately onto a banner from the 5605-03d Off Set Tags Die and popped it up onto the golf themed card.
- Next I chose a sentiment from the 37029 Victory Vibes 4×6 Stamp Set and stamped it onto a white tag cut with the 5704d Nested Tag Dies and added it to the fishing themed card using Sapphire Ink from the Color Fuse Set #8.
- I mounted my landscape scenes onto two mats, added some sequins and they’re ready to give!
Great job Lisa, we love how these came out. The easy and quick color blocking made these cards really stand out and we love the result.
