Stretch Your Dies - Split Sentiment Card Design

Design Team member Kate is back with an idea for handmade cards using diecuts that you may already have in your stash. This is an easy handmade card template you can use to stretch your metal dies and get more use out of basic shapes. 

It's a pretty simple concept. Look through your stash for dies that would still look like the shape they are after they are cut in half.

For the tree card, Kate used her stamping platform and some scrap cutouts of the trees to line up her design. She then embossed the sentiment in gold embossing powder.

The trees were added and topped with gold glitter stars. This would be a great card to mass produce for the holidays (and even last minute).

The heart card is along the same lines, just with a smaller sentiment stamped inside each heart. Look through your stash and see what you can make! Think circles, balloons, ornaments, presents...

Supplies:

Tree card

• Bazzill Smoothies in Kiwi Crush and Kraft
• Sentiment from Hero Arts

Heart card

• Bazzill Smoothies in Pink Icing
• My Colors in Classic Cherry
• Die from Stampin' Up!
• Sentiment from Lil' Inker 

Happy creating!
