I am thrilled to have the opportunity to design for the new Say It Big Phrase Die release at STAMPlorations.
The new Dies are also perfect for the April Challenge … FOCUS on the SENTIMENTS.
Shery is the queen of the word dies, and I particularly like how she has welded these sentiments into a single piece of paper (no hunting for that missing dot for your *I*).
For my first card, I started by creating a collage of stamping using three Distress Oxide Inks (Bundled Sage, Peacock Feathers and Hickory Smoke) with STAMPlorations Mixed Media Elements stamps using my MISTI on a robin's egg blue card base.
My MISTI makes it easy to create those layers.
Next I cut my Art Happens Phrase Die out of a scrap of textured designer paper and then finished with a few sequins.
For my second card, I die cut three Life Is Good Phrase Sentiments and layered them for dimension.
Then I attached them to a CUTplorations Luggage Tag cut from some of my hand-marbled paper … love those springy colors.
The final card uses another three-layer sentiment You Are My Sunshine for dimension … this time from black cardstock.
I attached it to a marbled card base in Iowa Hawkeye colors of Black & Gold.
Backgrounds are certainly eye catching here on each piece of art work – love love those backgrounds and those die cuts as well TFS
Your creative projects are so fun, and I like the distressed look of your first card.
Really pretty creations! I love how you used the new dies!
Brilliant! Love your projects.
Lovely artsy projects. Thanks for the inspiration.
Fabulous and creative projects.
Love that you pointed out the detail about the dot on the I being part of the design — such a smart idea. Lovely cards Stef.
These are some awesome projects!
I love your marbeled backgrounds and would
love to know how you did them.
The brilliant background on your tag makes the die sentiment really stand out beautifully!
Your first card is another reason why I need a Misti! haha I have the mixed media set, but have barely touched it not knowing what looks good where. Love your artsy cards.
Love the delicate colours on these – all are beautiful! xxx
My son’s high school colors are black and gold too 🙂 but I love the tag colors the best!
Fabulous projects. I love the marbled backgrounds!
Wow! Love these dies!!! Beautiful cards and tag!!!
lovely projects – love the colors you used:)
Great work! I especially like the color scheme of the first two!
Very cool bunch of cards! Love that first card, it’s so “artsy”! And I see what you mean about the attached dots on the “i”; what a great design!
Love the backgrounds and die cuts! Beautifully designed, thanks for sharing 🙂
I love how you used your marbled backgrounds for 2 of your projects and your CAS design on your 1st card. TFS and always inspiring me, Stephanie. Hugs..
