- 5" x 5" square white card blank
- slightly smaller piece of gold linen mirri card, glued onto the card front
- slightly smaller again square of white card with the corners punched using a Woodware 'Squared Corner' punch then glued on top of the gold layer
- next I fished out a SU 'Mossy Meadow' snippet and a gold linen mirri card snippet and backed them with 'Stick-It' double sided adhesive
- out came the pair of Memory Box dies and I cut the solid trees from the green card using 'Pine Border Background' and the outline from gold linen mirri card using 'Pine Border Outline'
- added both die cuts to the already assembled card front and popped a gold peel off star above the tallest tree
- lastly, getting a bit daring and for sure it'll backfire soon, I stamped the sentiment directly onto the assembled card using SU's 'Mossy Meadow' ink and a sentiment from the Personal Impressions set called 'Many Greetings'. I particularly chose this sentiment 'cos the letters go up and down a bit like the trees do :)
And, of course I made another card exactly the same whilst at it!

Fabulous card Di and I promise I didn't copy. You know what they say about great minds... well it must be true! I wasn't as brave as you though and chickened out on the sentiment - which you've stamped perfectly xx
ReplyDeleteVery beautiful CAS!! I understand why you love this die! It's very useful and elegant!
ReplyDeleteI love your trees Di and just beautiful in green and gold. This die makes a really elegant CAS card. x

Like everyone ahead of me said - the more I see those trees the more I think I must have them! LOL Thanks for enabling with such a gorgeous CAS card!
ReplyDeleteLove seeing your green and gold treatment on those darling trees Di! They can be a pest to adhere without mess, but the 'stick-it' paper is definitely the answer - as a result, you card is crisp and clean, and gorgeous!

Oh, how funny, Di, I just used this die set on a recent card of mine! Great minds! I swear I could use it and make 100 different cards with it and love them all the same. It is such a fabulous versatile die and ALWAYS makes a stunning card, just like yours! I love the classic white and green and gold! And I think the corner treatment you used adds just the right amount of extra pizzazziness!! Hope your back is doing better! Hugs, Darnell
ReplyDeleteGorgeous... what did we ever do before dies? I love the way your corner treatments bring the gold layer to life!
ReplyDeleteLooks great Di, I love this die set.... super card!
ReplyDeleteThanks so much

PS Happy birthday!!!!
I love the notches on the corners. And I've got the tree die in my ever growing list of NBUS! Must use it, it's so versatile. Great how you've singled out the large tree with the star.
ReplyDeleteThanks for sharing with us.
