Layering Made Easy

Hello friends!

I have a fun die cut project to share. You know how layering die cut can be a bit tricky... However, if the die set is designed well, it is fun and achievable to create gorgeous bloom. 

 

I am using Alex Syberia Layering Rose 

 (Alex Syberia Design, Scrapbook. com, Simon Says Stamp) as my example. 

By following the guide on the package, I was able to assemble each piece effortlessly.

The color paper pad I used are from Scrapbook. com. THIS is on sale and is such a great deal! It is so easy when you have various color paper (right weight and thickness).

Here is the Trendy Pattern Stencils that I used.

And last but not the least, I used the SAME die for the paper bag project.

 

I hope you enjoy seeing today's project. 

There are some great sales over Alex Syberia Designs, check it out HERE

Compose Your Own Design

 Hello friends!

Today's post is simply a reminder on composing your very own design. There is no rule, no set design,... all I can say is die cut and play with the pieces and you shall find your own design.

With Small Die of The Month (Spellbinders), I came up with my 3rd card.

The November "New Subscriber" registration window will be available November 6-27th. While supplies last. Join in November and receive the pictured kit. Clubs will ship by the 30th.

This month's "Build a Card Hello" small die set is perfect for making cards, decor, and more.  

 Since it's my 3rd take, I wanted to use the die cut pieces that I have not used: cluster of berries and leaves. I also wanted to showcase the simple lacy border.

 For the lacy border, you can simple use just one piece as the gold accent. I die cut three clusters of berries. I then added 3 colors of berries for contrast.

 For embellishments (on top and bottom), I trimmed the "leftover" border and fitted in the small bits.

 

 

 These are the 3 cards I created with this very die set. They are similar, but all different.

Do you have a favorite among these three?  I can' quite choose myself. LOL

 For the gold outlines and petals, I used the Holographic paper pad.

 

Here are the monthly subscription plans: 

Small Die of the Month, Large Die of The Month, Stitching Die of The Month, Embossing Folder of The Month, 3D Embossing Folder,  Quick and Easy Card Kit, Clear Stamp of The Month, Clear Stamp & Die of the Month, Glimmer Hot Foil Kit,

Inlaid Die-cutitng

Hello friends!

I am back with my 2nd project that I created with Small Die of The Month from Spellbinders.

The November "New Subscriber" registration window will be available November 6-27th. While supplies last. Join in November and receive the pictured kit. Clubs will ship by the 30th.

This month's "Build a Card Hello" small die set is perfect for making cards, decor, and more.  

The inlaid die-cutting can be a bit more tedious.... however, a little bit goes a long way. I only need to add two more extra pieces to make the flower a stand-out.

 

 This time, I took advantage of the small scalloped rectangle die and used it as a base. The pattern paper and ephemera are from this month's Quick and Easy Card Kit.

 To add the green and red (from Scrapbook. com), I just die cut two more times with red and green cardstock. I saved EVERY little bits and placed them back to place.

 You can use a Double-sided tape like this (adhere on the back of the die) for the inlaid cie-cutting.

Here is my first version with this die set.

 For the gold outlines and petals, I used the Holographic paper pad.

 

Here are the monthly subscription plans: 

Small Die of the Month, Large Die of The Month, Stitching Die of The Month, Embossing Folder of The Month, 3D Embossing Folder,  Quick and Easy Card Kit, Clear Stamp of The Month, Clear Stamp & Die of the Month, Glimmer Hot Foil Kit,

I am using the largest lace border die for today's project.  As you can see this die set comes with 3 beautiful and intricate dies. There are so many possibilities!

I decided to ink up the background and placed lacy die over.

Once I have done the inking with Distress Oxide, I added the gold elements.

I am loving this Holographic paper pad from Scrapbook. com. This is my go-to metallic these days.

Of course, I used the hello die with the Holographic paper pad as well. The gold makes the entire design shine and cohesive.

DIY Birthday Celebration Decor

 Hello friends!

I have a super special post to share. As paper crafters, we know how wonderful it is to put our special "crafting skills" into great use.  All-occasion cards, birthday or anniversary invites....we do them all. 

First, let's talk about the product I used. Paper Rose is an Australian company and offers many types of paper and stamps and dies. You can find their product at Simon Says Stamp and Scrapbook. com.

This time, I was tasked to create birthday banners, cake topper and decoration for my grandson's first birthday party. The party took place last month and it was a success! Since my grandson loves avocado and what can be more fitting to create Avocado-themed party decor? 

I searched high and low and finally found the Avocado die from Paper Rose. At the time of order, it was down to two sets of avocado dies left over Scrapbook. com.  I ordered as soon as I could and got right to work as soon as the die set arrived. First, I created a birthday cake topper.

Next, I created the party banners.  For this project, I am using Altenew Party Banner Die

 

*Shop this Party Banner Die over Altenew HERE 

and Party Banner and Pocket Banner Bundle Die HERE

 

*Shop Honey Bee Banner Die and Pink Fresh Studio Ornate Banner Die over Simon Says Stamp 

 *Scrapbook. com doesn't have the Altenew set, but has  an exclusiveNested Flag Die Set that offers great value.

 

The avocado die is super cute and small, I had to use banner die to make them stand out .

For the Number Die, I used Altenew Mega Number Die.

 *Shop Bold Number Die over Simon Says Stamp , Shop Scrapbook. com HERE

The Spellbinders glitter Foam Sheet (Scrapbook. com, Simon Says Stamp) was perfect to add a touch of celebratory vibe. I love how all the decor turned out. It was most memorable, especially that I made them myself. 

I hope today's post offers you some ideas about creating your own birthday decor. Thank you for supporting this blog and me by visiting and using my affiliated (product text) links for your craft-shopping.
