Hello again! It’s Amanda from Twiddler’s Nook today, sharing two versions of the mini slimline layered scallops die set. I’m totally loving these dies and how adorable the borders they create are! I paired them with the freebie of the month and the stamp and die of the month subscription.
I had so much fun creating both of these cards! I started with the St. Patrick’s Day cuteness because I really wanted to see the scallops in gold glitter and green. Aren’t they so fun!?!
After cutting the scallop layers and gluing them together I pulled out the new stitched mini slim rectangles set 2 and found the one that fit just inside the scallops. I cut that from white and stamped the shamrock in the February Pup stamp set with The Park ink – first and second generation for different darknesses. Then I used a blending brush and inked a little shadow with the same ink. I stamped the sentiment on the bottom and popped the panel up with foam tape.
I stamped and colored the pup with my copic markers and used the coordinating die to cut him out before popping him up with foam squares.
Then, for finishing touches I added Touch of Gloss to the puppy’s eyes and tongue, shine spots on the pot and buckle on the hat. Then I used Wink of Stella glitter brush pen on the shamrock in his hat and the coins in the pot.
For my second card, I created the scallops using striped paper from the Year Round Dots & Stripes paper pad. I cut another stitched mini slim rectangle and inked it with a blending brush using The Park and Barbershop ink pads. I stamped images from Easter Train and colored them with my copic markers.
I used the coordinating dies to cut them out and assembled everything with EZ Squeeze liquid glue and foam tape or squares. Honest to goodness, I forgot about my sentiment until the end so I placed my card in my MISTI and held my breath. It stamped beautifully but I highly recommend doing that before adding it to your scallop layers.
For finishing touches on this card I used Touch of Gloss on things like flower centers, dots and stripes. Then I added stardust Stickles to all cheeks and steam clouds. Isn’t this Easter train just the cutest ever!
