A Cut Above - "START OFF WITH A BANG!"

There is a new challenge started by one of my team members. We are encouraged to use die cuts on our projects. Also the first challenge is to start off with a bang and used the RED, WHITE, and Blue colors usually associated with the 4th of July. 

But we are encouraged to go wherever your mojo takes you. 

That is what I did with this card. 

I wanted to use the Spellbinders, Winter Bird House die and do it in red, white and blue (navy)

But when I got it done, it is really more or a winter card than 4th of July. 

I am going to show you when I mean. 

This card does have shine and sparkle as I used glossy accents on the berries and acorns. 

Other supplies are:

Embossing folder from Anna Griffin called Cherry Blossoms

Spellbinder die Winter Bird House

My Favorite Things A Tweet Hello

Navy cardstock for the base and roof

Just another way to sue these colors as I don't send out 4th of July cards. 

Stop over to the new blog and enter, there a prize!

Seize the Birthday Challenge #285 Double Stenciling

Hello crafters! It is time again for another card challenge at Seize the Birthday and this time I am the host.  I have chosen a technique that I had fun with, and I hope that you will too. You may have seen it on a video, that is where I saw it first. 

Let me explain it to you. When I say Double Stenciling, I would like you to use a stencil and before you pick it up, place another one over the top and fill in it. I don't mean that you should use just two stencils on your project. Check out my card. 

If you are not a toppings crafter, just make sure it is a birthday theme.

The flowers are a stencil with a matching die cut. After placing the stencil and coloring it, I place another stencil over the top and used that one too. Then it was die cut out. 

If you are still having trouble with this double stenciling that I chose, check out the video here. 

Supplies for this card:

GKD Fancy Floral Stencil Bundle

Simon Says Stamps Falling snow

Inks, Lavendar fields, 

Deep iris, Eucalyptus, Forest Fern
