Friday Die Day

Hello friends

Happy Friday Die Day!
This week I am featuring Spellbinders Happy Birthday Garland.
This is one of the dies from the Let's Party collection.
There is an assortment of dies in this set and the approximate measurements are:
 
Heart: ¼ x ⅛”
Flower: ¼”
Star: ¼”
Bow: 1⅛ x ½” (2 pcs)
Garland: 4⅞ x ½”
Happy Birthday: 5 x ¾”
 
 This is how it looks cut/embossed.

For my card I've placed the 'Happy Birthday' onto a kraft card front. 
Cut to reveal the negative (keep that die cut to use later!)
I then cut/embossed two of the garlands from kraft card and the tiny flowers from
blue cardstock.  I also cut leaves and a flower from Marisa's Bouquet. 
Attached the garlands under the 'Happy Birthday'.
And then simply added a scattering of flowers.
A tiny gemstone for the dot of the 'i'. 
I wanted to keep it as neutral as possible.

Think I may have succeeded with that!


Happy Birthday Garland is available here,
I know it's going to be a really useful die set.

As mentioned, I'm off to Hampshire tomorrow -
Emerald Crafts in Lyndhurst - all the details are here.
I shall be nattering (aka demoing) from 10am.
Mum is coming along too :)

Take care friends and wishing you all a lovely weekend.

    Morning Christine, A lovely CAS card, I'm loving that you have used the negative Happy Birthday, very effective. I was thinking that a 'Merry Christmas' card done in this way would be very effective and also ideal for batch making and also cheaper to post !!
    Lots of love from Patricia xx

    Hello Christine
    This will be good for the Sapphire that I sent to my daughter in Oz..there seem to be quite a few Dies that fit this little machine!...I have been through my stash to send to her!
    I love these little Dies!
    Have a lovely time with Mum, Christine!
    Take care
    Love Marg

    Hi Christine,
    What a lovely, simple but very effective card. I'm thinking that if you wanted you could fix some coloured
    vellum behind the cut-out sentiment to change the look of the card. I'm ashamed to say that there isn't
    one scrap of kraft card in my entire stash...I think I need to remedy that as soon as possible.

    Lovely card Christine. I'm wondering if it might also look nice if the sentiment was cut again in the blue, then in-laid into the Kraft card - just a thought!
    Have a fab time with Mum tomorrow in the New Forest.
