Making a Stained Glass Card

A great card to use up your scrap papers. #affiliate #craspire

final card

Using a die from a set of dies from Craspire, I made this stain-glassed little card. The size of the card and the die are great for using up your stash of scrap papers. I used a variety of greens, metallic orange, and metallic gold for the frame.

frame and green

After cutting the metallic gold frame and gluing it to the card front, I continued to cut the different colors. The above image shows the green that is used for the stems and leaves. Putting these in place is a bit like working a puzzle.

orange

The next color was metallic orange for the flowers. After the flowers, I cut a dark green and placed the outer border. Then I had to decide how I was going to finish the background pieces. I was torn between leaving it white, a pale green, or a craft paper brown. Any of them would work and look good but I finally decided on the light green.

Making a Motion Card with a TLC Die

Follow along as I made a motion card using a die from TLC Designs.

I received this Double Dial Die from TLC Designs. This is my first time using a die with motion or activity and making a motion card. The process is rather two-fold in that you put the mechanism together and then design the visual elements for the card. It was fun trying to decide what images would work well with the motion.

Many of the items used in this post have be provided by companies I work with in order to promote there company and products.

Materials:

  • Double Dial Die
  • Hampton Art stamp set
  • CrossOver II
  • Mini Maker
  • leaf die
  • 3 ink pads
  • Simons Says intense black ink
  • Distress Oxide Inks
  • Blending brush
  • WRMK Works Board
  • double-sided tape
  • foam tape
  • foam tape squares
  • scissors
  • white card stock
  • brads

Directions:

This is the die and stamp set that was used.
The die pieces laid out on the CrossOver II. The pie shape needs to be placed into the largest die piece.
