Also, Simon Says Stamp is giving a $25 coupon to one lucky winner at EVERY stop on the blog hop! They will post those winners to the Simon Says Stamp store blog on Wednesday so be sure to check back.I have a few cards to share with you today, all created with the Folk Dance Wafer die. I know this die is going to get a lot of use, there are so many fun color combinations that can be made and so many ways to change it up.
For my first card, I created an alcohol ink panel in beautiful blues, placed it on some stick it and die cut it. I placed it down on my card base and very carefully removed the outline. A Sizzix die pick works great to help gently push out the pieces that you actually want to stick to the base. It is a little time consuming, but the effort is so worth it. I finished off the card with the Kindness Matters die cut out of SImon Says Stamp Blue Violet cardstock.
For my second card, I die cut the die 3 times from panels that I had colored with Distress Oxides and inlaid them back into the outline piece. I love the look of these and modern Scandinavian color scheme. I finished this card with the Big Thanks dies.
For my final card, I used a black background where I embossed the die cut and did not cut it all the way through. I used my Gelly Roll Moonlight pens to color inside the outline of the flowers. I love the scribbly look this gives. I added the Miss You die to make my card complete. If you liked these cards be sure to follow me on INSTAGRAM to see all my card makes :)
