Throwback Thursday: Storybook 1
Hi everyone! Amy K. here with a bright summery card featuring an older but wonderful die called Storybook 1. I’m sharing this for our monthly Throwback Thursday feature!
I wanted to use the Blissful Butterflies from the recent release again before summer is over. I began by nesting the largest Scallop Frame die along with the Storybook 1 die. This gives a large(r) frame to make my shaker PLUS it gives such a pretty border around the Storybook 1 die. I masked off the area where my shaker contents would go and blended Tumbled Glass Distress Ink to my top folding white notecard.
I added some sequins in 4mm and 6mm Marigold, Tangerine, and Sparkling Clear along with some Iridescent Star Confetti to my shaker. I added my large frame with foam adhesive and sealed the edges. To the front of my card, I added some Copic colored Blissful Butterflies with foam adhesive. Lastly, I added my stamped and die cut “hello” to the lower right corner of my shaker card.
Along with this sweet shaker card that Amy has shared with us, I have a few cards that have used the Storybook 1 in the past. Click on the photos below to see the original post from the designers.
Thanks for visiting the blog today! I hope you are inspired to create new cards using this older, versatile die!
So pretty, Amy! I had to smile at your comment about using the Butterflies “before summer is over” – it does seem that, no sooner did it start that we’re already thinking about the end of summer and the coming Fall. Your card uses many fall colours. So perhaps it’s a fabulous “bridge” between the 2 seasons? :-)
These are so sweet. Awesome awesome awesome!!!
Beautiful card!
Hi Paulina & Amy ~ I love this card. Anyone who receives this card will have their spirits lifted. It’s sweet, colorful and includes a shaker!! How could it NOT be happy??! Thanks for sharing! ~HUGS~
Love this die, I have it an remade your card in the middle with the scarecrow for Thanksgiving and my family and friends loved it.
Such a pretty card, and I’m not ready for butterflies to be over! I think they can flutter along with autumn leaves. Love this storybook 1 die with the pretty scallop frame, brilliant idea.
Such a beautiful card, I am in love with those butterflies, they are so gorgeous ! I also love the scalloped frame with the storybook 1 die, that looks fantastic.
