Sneak Peek: January 2020 Dies
Hello crafty friends. Happy New Year! It’s Yoonsun here to share a couple of my happy birthday cards with the new dies from the January 9th release. I’m featuring the Birthday Frame, Happy Birthday to You Script and Balloon Shaker dies.
I started by die cutting the Birthday Frame from watercolor paper. I then inked some Distress inks to the Birthday Frame in rainbow order using blender brush. After inking up, I applied water to lighten colors.
Once the frame was dry, I adhered the acetate behind the frame – made a shaker window panel. I added sequins to the center of the gray card – I used Mini Sparkling Clear Flowers, Mini Gold Star Confetti, 6mm Sweetheart Mix and Sparkling Clear Mix. I then covered the birthday frame over the card. For the sentiment, I die cut the word Happy Birthday to You from white cardstock, then added it to the center of the card (as shown in the picture) using foam tape.
For my second birthday card, I used the Balloon Shaker die and the Birthday Borders stamp set. For the background panel, I die cut stitched rectangle panel from red cardstock using the Stitched Notes die. I hear embossed the birthday borders with clear embossing powder, then added white pigment ink all over the panel.
I die cut the Balloon Shaker from white cardstock, I die cut a bow from the Twine and Bows die set from glitter gold cardstock. I mounted all elements as shown in the picture using foam tape, and then embellished with a few Sparkling Clear Mix.
Thank you so much for stopping by! Stop by tomorrow for a look at the new stencils!
Hugs,
Yoonsun
