Sneak Peek: March 2020 Dies

Good morning! Heather here and I’m excited to be sharing some sneak peeks with you today of the brand new dies that are part of the upcoming Pretty Pink Posh release on March 20th!

First up, I have this card featuring the fun new Spring Scene die, as well as one of the new Script Sentiment Dies – Spring Blessings!

I die cut this die from white cardstock, and then colored each individual piece with Copic markers before reassembling it onto my card front.

I also die cut some scraps of cardstock over just the butterfly part of the image to gain a couple more butterflies to embellish my card – can you see the darling stitching detail on the butterflies?

I added some glittery clear Nuvo drops over the flowers and butterflies – love the bit of sparkle that it adds!

Sentiment was die cut from black cardstock and adhered in place, and then I finished off with some lovely jewels in Spring Green, Lemon Drop, and Watermelon for just a little bit of additional sparkle!

Next up, I have a duo of cards featuring the new Decorative Cross die, as well as the new Eyelet Borders Dies! I’m a sucker for making two cards when I end up die cutting enough pieces for it – and I hate to waste the leftovers, so that is how I ended up with these two cards.

So, for this first card, I die cut the image once from gold glitter cardstock, and once from white cardstock.

I die cut a border on a panel of white cardstock with the new Eyelet Border, then masked off a rectangle that was roughly the same size as my die cut image, and blended a mix of 3 different purple distress inks over it – Milled Lavender, Wilted Violet, and Dusty Concord.

I added some splatters with a mixture of Perfect Pearls and water, then removed the mask, and adhered the gold glitter portion of the die cut in place, and popped up the white portion on foam adhesive. I added a few Sparkling Clear Jewels on the center of the cross, adhering them small side down for extra sparkle.

I filled in the center of each image with Glossy Accents – love how this almost gives a stained glass feel, and changes the appearance of the color of the distress ink under it. It also gives some lovely shine to the image! Finished off with a sheer bow along the side, and then adhered it to a coordinating purple card base!

The second card, you may notice, uses the reverse die cuts from the Decorative Cross on the last card. Why waste those extra die cuts when you can use them for something else, right?

For this card, I used a lavender card base, and adhered the parts of the decorative cross in directing in place.

I die cut a couple of thin borders using Eyelet Borders Dies, and adhered those along each side of the card – also adding a very thin strip of gold glitter cardstock along that edge to pull all the gold together.

Added a few more of those same Sparkling Clear Jewels around the image, and heat embossed a sentiment from the darling little baby themed Little One stamp set – the sentiment just seemed perfect for this card!

So there you go – two cards in one! Which version is your favorite?

Thanks so much for stopping by today – have an absolutely wonderful day!
