Die'Sire Edge'Ables: Creating a Sparkly and Textured Card!

Hi!

I created a fun, sparkly card using the Die'Sire Edge'ables Borders Renaissance die.  

I grabbed some 8x8 Shimmering Gold Dust Cardstock and cut it to 4.25 x 5.  I placed it on the edge of the panel and held it down with washi tape.  I ran it through my die cutting machine.

This is what it looks like:

Then I cut a piece of white cardstock to 4.25 x 11 and scored it at the 5.5.  I also cut a piece of patterned paper from the Sweet Treats pack to 2.25 x 5.25.

Then, using an X-Acto blade, I trimmed off part of the front of the card base.  I took off enough to leave about 2.5 inches (I trimmed it down further after I took this picture).

I cut the Rose Pearl to fit in the inside of the card.  Having multiple layers makes this card nice and sturdy!

Next, I placed the front panel down onto my surface and made sure it was protected.

First, I added some Magenta Stickles to the die cut area.  Once it was dry, I added the Golden Rod.  I added two colors to give a little more interest to the card.

To create a custom tag, I die cut a rectangle using the Die'Sire Essentials Rectangle out of Gold Dust.  I stamped the sentiment from Die'Sire Sentimentals Nature EZ Mount Stamp set and distressed the edges.

To finish everything off, I cut a few strips of ribbon (shaped like roses) and tied some twine on it.  I then attached the tag to that twine.

I adhered the ribbon to the front of the card!

The finished card has so much texture from the multiple Stickles and ribbon!

Don't Miss Sara and Crafter's Companion on HSN!

Hi!
This Wednesday, October 7, 2015, Sara Davies of Crafter's Companion will be on HSN! And she will be sharing some fantastic product (and projects)! This is one of the cards that will be shown.

I used the Die'Sire Edge'ables Fancy Borders: Twinkle Twinkle die along with Shimmering Cardstock: Gold Dust, and Candy Red. Even though this die is technically for the holidays, you can use it any time of year (as I've shown above)! I also added some extra stars using the Die'Sire Essential Dies: Stars die and a sentiment from Sheena's A Little Bit Sketchy: Orchid.


For the ribbon, I didn't have the exact color I needed, so I grabbed some plain white and colored it in using my Spectrum Noir FS1 marker to get a good match!

Thanks for stopping by and don't forget to tune in!!!
