Soft rainbow colored card on Die Cut Divas

 Hi,

It's my turn to share another Birthday themed card on Die Cut Divas today.  


I used one of the MFT Scallop Basic Edges die to die cut the rainbow colored pieces, adhere them onto a white top fold card base.  Then added sentiment and flowers die cut in iridescent card stock.  It took a bit of time to align the scallop pieces, but its worth the while.

Our challenge theme on Die Cut Divas this month is: Birthday.  Our sponsor, My Favorite Things is closing.  The DT have loved so many of MFT's products and at the least, wish them a big "Thank You" for all the wonderful things they have done in the industry.


 Supplies:

MFT Stitched Scallop Basic Edges Die-namics
MFT Floral Adornments Die-namics
Sunny Studio Party Pets Stamps & Die set
Memento Dye Ink (Tuxedo Black)
Gelly Roll Metallic Silver Gel Pen

Thanks for coming over to my blog.  Have a sweet day!

A stitched floral card on Die Cut Divas

 Hello,

Welcome to July's challenge on Die Cut Divas.  Our challenge theme this month is Birthdays.

We are aware that My Favorite Things is closing so we don't know if they will be able to give a prize, however we have loved so many of MFT's products and at the least, wish them a big "Thank You" for all the wonderful things they have done in the industry.

There will be a $25 gift card given to the winner from a well known company,. 

Please enter even though there may not be a prize.  Show MFT that we remember them well.

I used Floral Adornaments - MFT-2545 (retired) for my card.


I die cut multiple flowers using various color cardstock, then stitched with white embroidery floss.  

On a white card base, I adhere one kraft stitched rectangle panel, followed by a white one with black heat embossed sentiment.  

Next I arranged and mounted the stitched flowers with both glue and foam adhesive.  I found that the white panel was a bit boring, so I usee the smallest floral die in the set and die cut several using white cardstock, glued them together, inked and stamped randomly on the panel with yellow ink.

Hop on over to Die Cut Divas and check out more DT inspirations.  Take your favorite stash out and make some birthday cards and join in the fun.  Remember to add die cut and/or dry embossing to your project(s) to qualify for the drawn.  Winners are announced on the Die Cut Divas blog on the 3rd of next month.

Supplies:

MFT Floral Adornments Die Set
White embroidery floss
Memento Dye Ink (Tuxedo Black)
Clear embossing powder
 

Thanks for stopping by.  Have a fantastic day!
