Flourish Tree Three Ways

Hello! Today I have three very different cards using the exact same die, the Flourished Tree Inset die from Our Daily Bread Designs.

The first one is very simple, just showing off that beautiful die:

After I finished, I thought it needed a little more pizzazz, so I added some green sequins.

There! That’s better. Just a few simple touches and you have a beautiful card. I used the Pierced Rectangle Dies to create a frame for the middle piece. The fun foam creates even more dimension behind that middle panel.

Then, I thought it would be fun to create a STENCIL from this die cut. So I cut two trees out of white heavy cardstock, and used one for the green tree stencil and one for the red tree stencil. Here’s my card: sunshine-flourish-tree-stencil-card

It creates a beautiful stencil and I just alternated the colors and the direction of the tree! I added a white heat embossed sentiment from this set on black cardstock and a few clear gem stones to dress it up a bit.

After I was finished with this card, I saw those cardstock stencils and decided to create a card out of them, too! Nothing goes to waste around here! I simply cut around each of those tree stencils (they were already red and green from creating the last card) and added them to a Snowy Sky backdrop.

I added some vellum before adhering the Merry Christmas sentiment from the Holiday Words dies. I hope you were inspired by all the ways you can use this Flourish Tree Inset die!

December with Our Daily Bread Designs

Hello! Today I have some projects featuring the brand new December products from Our Daily Bread Designs.

My first card features the new Winter Greetings set with this adorable owl image:

I created a bokeh effect background using Distress Oxide inks in Peacock Feathers, Twisted Citron, and Iced Spruce. Then I added some circles with white ink and pearl Gansai Tambi watercolor paint.

I colored up that owl in Copics and added some white gel pen to make him look more fuzzy. Don’t you just want to squeeze him!? Here’s a close up of him:

My next card features the new Flourish Tree Inset die:

sunshine-tree-joy

Isn’t that a beautiful tree. Imagine how easy cards can be using this die and some colored cardstock! I used paper from this paper pack and added some red glitter cardstock behind the die cut image. Then, I used the word “JOY” from the Peace and Joy die set as the sentiment. I colored it in three colors of green Copics and used the same green Copics on the bow on top of the tree. The bow is from an earlier set that I adore: the Ice Skate die set.

My last card today features the new Peace & Joy die. It is a great size for a card front!

Here I used paper from the Christmas Collection 2017 Paper pack. I die cut the Peace & Joy, then added some red fun foam behind the letters to pop them up. To finish it off, I added some Pine Branches and a Pinecone next to the word “Peace.” I just love the size of this die cut!
