Before we get on to our projects today, I wanted to say a little goodbye to another team member, Alyssa Scritchfield. She is going to leave to focus on establishing a new family business. She will be missed! I always enjoying seeing what her creative mind comes up with!
For my first project today, it may not be real obvious where all of the pieces came from. As I was cutting the Quick Notes Star Fold Out die, there is a negative piece that is left (see the dark diamond on the product image below?) behind. I would set this on my desk and the more I looked at it I thought it looked just like a kite. So, why not put that little piece of paper to work and create a kite out of it? I did just that! The kite string is the balloon string from the Balloon Builders stamp set.
That green hill is made from a new product too. It is the edge of the Frames & Flowers die set! It made the perfect hill! The sentiment is from the Quick Notes stamp set and the clouds are from the Cloudy Sky Die & Rainbows & Clouds die set. And, last but not least that awesome background is from the new Quilted Stitched Pattern die.
One last card to share.
I used the Quick Notes Star Fold Out die on this card. The stars look like they are dancing!
I embossed the sentiment & star tails from the Quick Notes stamp set.
When you open the card up, there is a little surprise inside! The recipient will find a glassine envelope with a sentiment embossed on the front of it.
The stars are attached to the inside frame of the Frames & Flowers die set. This frame fits perfectly into the little envie! When you unfold the stars there is a little message.
That's all I have for you this release! I hope you enjoy the new products! I'd love to hear what your favorite is!

I thought the same thing about that little leftover bit, Jen! I'm saving mine for cute kite cards.
ReplyDeleteLove them both, but I just can't get over your brilliance in using the negative cut as a kite.

ReplyDeleteKite card ROCKS! But I love your long card with the Star Fold Out die across it!!!!!!! FAB FAB FAB!!!!!!!!!!

ReplyDeleteHow creative to see a kite in the "unused" part of the die. Thanks for pointing out the "hills" were part of the frame. I was not seeing those creative uses! Your cards are clever and the new design are all wonderful. You designers have really shown many versatile ways to use these new products!
