Welcome Back Friends!
Today I have a wintertime Get Well card for you using a POSITIVE cut and a NEGATIVE cut from my dies today. Using the negative portion of your die cuts is a great way to use up some of those scraps ... give it a try!
How adorable is this Sweet Dixie Snowman.
By simply die cutting him out of white card stock and adhering him to a
piece of black card stock, I only had to 'fill in the blanks' ... which I did by using my xmas red, green and Orange Peel Stickles. So festive and cute!
Now comes the fun part of my card! For
my sentiment, I decided not to waste the negative portion of the black
card stock panel I had used to cut the words out for a different card
creation so by making sure I kept the little pieces that came out of the
original cut of this Elizabeth Craft Get Well Soon die (pieces from the 'e
and o') I was able to create this sentiment panel.
Of
course the one I used here on my card, was done a few days back so I
QUICKLY [5 minutes or so] did another one so I could do a little photo
tutorial for you. You can use this technique with so many of your die
cuts! Give it a try! This is also a great way to use up some of those
scraps you have laying around!!
STEP 1: Die cut your words using a scrap piece of card stock.
STEP 2: Cut your die cut panel to the desired size.
STEP 3: Mat your original cut panel onto a contrasting color piece of card stock.
STEP 4: Remove your words from the die CAREFULLY saving the little pieces that are in the letters (in this case) E and O.
STEP
5: With a tiny dab of white glue, adhere the letter centers into your
negative panel ... hence creating a SECOND sentiment panel from ONE die
cut!! YAY!!
I
hope you've found a bit of inspiration in my card today and if you've
never used this technique ... give it a try!
