Sneak Peek: April Die Cuts

Hi friends! Angelica here, and I am so excited to be part of this week’s sneak peeks of the new April/May Release. Today I have made a few cards with some of the dies that will be available on April 29th.

This first card I used the new Lattice Background Die and the new Mother’s Day Script Die. I ink blended Festive Berries, Picked Raspberries, and Spun Sugar Distress Oxide Inks onto a white card stock panel, then added the lattice die cut panel on top. I die-cut Happy Mother’s Day several times out of white card stock to stack and glue together for dimension. I die-cut one more time with gold foil paper, and glued it to the top of the stacked words.  Next I stamped and Copic-colored the vase and flowers from the new Mother’s Day stamp set, and used the Mother’s Day coordinating die to cut it out. To complete the card, I used foam squares to add the vase, and Multi Media Matte to add the words.

I made a second Mother’s Day Card using the same dies, using an Alcohol Pearl ink panel to die-cut the words and make a frame from.

I used the rectangle die from the Stitched Notes die set to cut the frame. I kept the background white-on-white for a clean look.

My last card showcases the new Congrats Script Die. I couldn’t help but use a few other new products to make this adorable graduation card.

On gray card stock, I blended matching ink over the new Graduation Stencil to make the background. I trimmed the panel down and die-cut a window using the middle size die from the Stitched Hexagons Dies. I stamped and Copic-colored the adorable elephant from the new Elephant Friends stamp set, and a graduation cap from Congrats Grad stamp set. I die-cut the elephant and cap with the coordinating dies, then added the panel and elephant to an A2 size card base with foam adhesive. I die-cut Congrats three times from white card stock, and one time out of gold foil card stock. I stacked and glued the words together, then glued the word to the card front.

I hope I have given you ideas on how to use these new dies. Thanks for stopping by!
