The Spellbinders International Ambassadors are having an informal blog hop again
and this time we have chosen the theme of Party
using the fun Let's Party collection of dies!
We have been having so much fun with these blog hops and delighted at
how many of you visit, play along and leave such lovely comments.
For my project I've chosen to use one of the Pop Up dies -
This die takes all the stress out of measuring and cutting,
perfect for me as I suffer from 'trimmer trauma'!
As well as the card base you also receive lots of extra dies including
candles, stars, hearts, present, rectangle, ribbon, flowers, leaves - loads!!
So how do pop up die templates work??
Using the card base, cut/emboss.
It is the embossing that gives you the fold lines.
This is how you achieve the valley and hill folds.
It's then a case of decorating, I went for a cheerful party look
using Bella Blvd - Family Forever papers for the background.
I stamped the sentiment to the first fold - Scripty Sayings by Lawn Fawn.
Using a variety of cardstock scraps I die cut all the elements from the die set
and started to arrange and fix them in place.
The finished card, it will fold flat to post if needed too.
Loving the stars and hearts the most!
Gift of Happiness is available on the website here.
Also check out the other Pop Up dies - Decorated Birthday and
(I think that boy of mine has put them in the sale too!)
For more Party inspirational projects please hop along to my fellow
Ambassadors' blogs - have fun!

Hi, Christine,
ReplyDeleteWhat a bright, fun card for the latest hop. I've tried to make step cards using measurements and a craft knife
but they never come out right. This die set would make everything so much easier. Another for my ever growing
Spellbinders wish list.

ReplyDeleteHello Christine
ReplyDeleteThis is a lovely card, dies that cut the card bases are worth their weight in gold. I always struggle to get the measurements correct and a die takes all the stress out of making stunning cards.
I off to hop now.
Take care
