My first project uses the amazing Today & Always Greeting Die.
My first card started with this patterned paper that had a chevron of stripes on one side. The paper got me thinking of a different way to use the Cover Up Die: Faceted. I cut it out of this matte gold paper and glued down the negatives following the lower part of the chevron and the positive cut of the Cover Up Die: Faceted following the upper part of the chevron. I really thought it gave the card front a cool and unique look. Since I was running with the chevron theme, I found a coordinating chevron paper to fill the negative space (I feel like I'm saying that a bunch...ha ha!) in the Today & Always Greeting Die which was also cut from the same gold paper. I added this to my card with some foam tape. Here's another look of the finished card:
My final card uses one of the cutest products from this new release, the Kitty Hugger Die & Stamp Bundle, as well as the Love You Much Border Die.
I got a little crazy with the patterns on this card. When I saw the Kitty Hugger Die & Stamp Bundle I thought it looked like he was spreading his arms out to show someone how much he loves them. So, I started by making a pocket that I could slide my Kitty into using the Stitched Mats: Dual Stitched Rectangles and topping it with a layer of red and a final layer cut with the Love You Much Border Die. I cut my kitty from grey, added some fun little accents with copics and the stamps in the Kitty Hugger Die & Stamp Bundle. Here's a closer look at the kitty in the pocket and pulled out:
Chrissy Larson <---Yup, that's me!!!
