Friday Die Day

Hello friends

So this is a change - going Summery at this time of year!
I thought I would share with you My Sunshine die set,
I fancied a bit of brightness as today is....
my birthday!

This is one of the card front dies so you receive an outer 
rectangular border die along with the inset.
The approximate sizes: Inset: 4 x 5¼” Border: 4¼ x 5½”

This is how it looks cut/embossed from white cardstock.

I then chose to cut/emboss certain areas of the die so I placed my yellow
card just on that part.  

Cut/embossed.


Using my Tool n' One I was able to remove the yellow fallout pieces I needed
and insert them, just a dab of liquid glue holds them in place.
Tip:  Attach a strip of card to the reverse of the section where you
are inserting pieces so you have something to adhere to.


My pieces inserted.


Using that outer border die I cut a piece of green patterned paper.
Attached 3D Foam Squares to the reverse of my die cut and 
positioned over the top.


I added Sprigs and tiny flowers and Adhesive Pearls,
it's a really a simple make with the card front die doing most of the work.


Some close up pics.



My Sunshine is available on the website here
and the ever popular Sprigs is here.

Right - I'm off to do a bit of celebrating today, a trip to Bluewater shopping
is on the cards and then a takeaway with the family this evening.

Take care friends - I'm back tomorrow.

  14. Morning Christine,
    HAPPY BIRTHDAY TO YOU, HAPPY BIRTHDAY TO YOU, HAPPY BIRTHDAY DEAR CHRISTINE, HAPPY BIRTHDAY TO YOU !! I was singing that to you while typing it haha. I hope you have a fabulous day.
    A lovely bright and summery card, loving how you have placed the yellow around the sunshine wording, and bringing in the green of the sprigs and the yellow of the flowers, ties the whole card beautifully.
    Enjoy your day.
    Lots of love from Patricia xx
