I’m also still playing with our latest holiday release, and I decided to change it up a wee bit by using PARTS of die cuts to see what would result. I really like what happened – check it out:
Today’s card features some of our new holidays dies – Lydia Ornament and Curled Ribbons – and I think I’ll be Deeply Disturbed if Memory Box ever stops making them, as I am really quite smitten with both!
I decided I wanted to make a simple treat box I could use for our placeholders at the Christmas dinner table, and the Memory Box Butterilk Carton is a perfect solution.
Use your dies to represent something they aren’t. I used the edge of a butterfly wing to be the loaf of French bread, the cake to make a container of something tasty, (it was originally supposed to be a cheese – lol), and the bottle from Witch Kit to act as a wine bottle.
I’m really excited to share a new technique with you (it’s new to me, anyway)! I decided to die cut one of our newly released dies and use it’s negative as a “stencil” to outline and then color with pencils. I love the result, and it gives you yet another way to use your dies!
Double- and triple-stencilling can be a lot of fun, so I suggest you try it! Here’s how I did my background. Use two pieces of low-tack tape to adhere a panel to your craft sheet, then tape the Leafy Stems stencil over the panel to prevent slipping. Pounce with ink. Do not remove the Leafy Stems stencil, and place the Mesh stencil on top of it and tape down; then pounce ink using a different ink color. (I used the foam ink applicators by Ranger for this project.) Remove the Mesh stencil (but keep the Leafy Stems stencil) inkup Vintage Dreams, and stamp over the stencil. (You actually can’t see this on mine because my base color of ink is very dark).
