Stuck On You and FEB 2018 Release Review

Hello! I've got several cards to share with you today featuring the newly released Stuck On You die.

Dies are one of my favorite crafting supplies. With a little creativity, you can really stretch them and use them in so many clever ways.

For this card, I die cut my cactus and pot from white cardstock, left the die cut in place in the die and then inked through the open center of the die. This left me the white border around the outside and created what looks like a stamped and die cut image.

Like the other dies in the Stitched Details Die Collection, the stitching is optional on several of the designs. Here I opted to used the stitching detail dies and added a little bit of stitching to both the cactus and pot. For the background I stamped a pattern in Lime Light, Queen Bee and V.I.Pink using Borders & Backgrounds 4. If you'd like to see exactly how this is done, check out the video down below where I give a demonstration on how I created this card as well as go over all of the new release items in detail.

Next, I wanted to share a fun way to incorporate felt into your cards. I kept this design very simple as the tactile element that the felt adds is really enough to carry the design.

I die cut both my cactus and pot as well as a rectangle using our 4 Bar Stitched Rectangles Die. I stitched the cactus and pot to the cream rectangle using the stitching holes cut by the dies. Then I stitched all around the edges of the cream rectangle using a backstitch.

I used Stick It to adhere the wool panel to a Kraft card base. I really like Stick It for adhering larger areas of felt to my cards. It's the easiest to use and most secure that I've found so far.

And finally, I wanted to share the cards that I created in the video above. These were actually conceptualize and created on the fly while filming the video. My intention was only to share how easy it was to create stencils from your dies....and well, one thing led to another and I ended up creating these two cards.

Man, how I wish it was that easy to come up with a design all of the time! I started by die cutting one of the cacti from acetate to create a stencil. I then inked through the stencil using Lime Light to create and all over tossed pattern. I die cut the flower from fun foam to create a DIY stamp and stamped it in V.I.Pink.

For both designs I added the details to my cacti using a .3 Copic Multiliner. I loosely traced around the edges of each cactus and flower in the card above, and did not in the card below. Instead I added a bit of clear Wink Of Stella to each cactus.

That's all I have for today, but be sure to stop back by tomorrow for more!
