ONE DIE, FIVE CARDS
A week ago I met up with
Becca Cruger at Starbucks in Fargo, ND and we talked for 2 hours and then did some shopping at
K & K Krafts in Moorhead, MN. Becca gave me some yummy apple jam, "adult" cocoa mix (a little bottle of Bailey's to make it adult) and a fantastic die.
So I decided to see how many different cards I could make with it at one sitting.
Virginia Lu takes a stamp and makes 4 or 5 (sometimes more) cards from the same stamp. So here's the result with a die!
If you are wondering how I did the second card, check
here - it's a Julie Ebersole technique that is really fun and quite easy to do. Mainly, I die cut the flower in black, pink and peach and then pieced and colored the flower with my Copics and Memento markers to make the various cards. On the last card I used
PTI die, Take Three, and embossed to make the background for the poppy. There's
WIS of the poppy but couldn't photograph the shimmer. The die is
Darling Poppies from Memory Box. The black ink on all the cards is from
Hero Arts.
Thanks for stopping by and always enjoy reading your kind comments. Betty
Oh, they are beautiful all together... and what a different look. I love card no 4 with the water colouring

A collection of really gorgeous cards, Betty! I love them all, and can't even choose a fave...I do love how you created the 2nd card and can't wait to check out Julie's technique...Thanks!
ReplyDeleteHow fun that you got together with Becca...such a nice photo of you girls :)
Love this photo of the two of you! What wonderful cards you made with the die - the first one is my favorite.
ReplyDeleteSuch a beautiful picture of the two of you!
ReplyDeleteGreat cards Betty!
Awwwww! Betty!!! If I knew you could create this many amazing cards with that die, I'd have sent it to you a long time ago! I already used some of the paper you gave me, but I can't post the card just yet until it gets to England. ;) Meeting you was the highlight of my Easter weekend and my Aunt Jerrie (who also does CCC) was very jealous!
ReplyDeleteWhat fun to meet a fellow stamper (die cutter)! Love all these cards! What a wonderful gift! Thanks for the link to the suspended flowers.
ReplyDeleteOh, I just love all of these cards! Well done!! Thanks for sharing them.
ReplyDeleteHi Betty, what a wonderful meeting, and love the photo!
ReplyDeleteYour cards are simply beautiful - you really put the die to fabulous use :-)
My word Betty, these are marvelous! I see soft and sweet, graphic beauties and some wonderful watercoloring... all are gorgeous!
ReplyDeleteSo many beautiful cards Betty! The one where you used Julie's technique is amazing. Isn't meeting crafty friends in real life fun? I'm so glad you too got to get together :)
