Today I created a very simple card using one of the newest dies/embossing combos from Sizzix
and have a little tutorial on how I created or how to make a card out of a die.
I did not embellish a lot... my intent is to show the "how to create a card from a die".
Please excuse such dark pictures... I thought I had fixed with Picasa but now I can see it did not take...
1-Fold piece of cardstock intended to be your card in half and place on die at a level high enough on the design/shape. A place where it will create a substantial fold. (click on pictures to see larger detail).
2-Run through die cutting machine
3-This is what your "card" looks like.
4- Die cut a single shape and embossed with matching embossing envelope. (picture not shown)
5- Adhere cut and embossed shape aligning it on top of the previously created shape card.
I stamped a sentiment inside and inked the entire bird (and a bit inside the card) with distress ink.
And added a little tag tied around with olive green hemp.
Supplies:
Sizzix Bigz Die with Bonus Textured Impression - Bird #2
Tim Holtz antique linen and crushed olive distress ink
adhesive pearl, hemp and mini tag (TH Sizzix die)
