Just Us Girls #761 -- DIE Week


Join us! It is DIE week at Just Us Girls.  Lisa is challenging us to use HEART dies in our card creations this week.

This is a two-layer die set which is great fun. Each die could be used alone but together they make the lovely combination above. The first die pierces the hearts, the second die cuts the hearts.  This is the perfect set of dies to create multiples given you can use both the negative and the pieces.  I made four of this card for donation.

The negative was covered in scortape and adhered to the card base, then all the pieces were inlaid.  To have a simple map for the inlays, die cut the hearts using a dryer sheet behind your cardstock.  The pieces will adhere to the dryer sheet allowing the easy transfer to your negative.  The final touches included a layered, vellum backed sentiment, a small stamped sub sentiment, and glitter dots.

Check out our fabulous guest designer for February, Stephanie Severin (also known as "SmilynStef"). Please welcome her and check out her fabulous work over at Ingenious Inkling
