Happy Monday… It’s Holly here today! Have you played along with Challenge #100 yet? There’s a great Prize package up for grabs for one lucky winner. This week’s theme is “Create a Scene”. I created a scene on my card today using the Stitched Cloud Edges from My Favorite Things. I’m also using the super cute new  Band Camp set from Avery Elle and the Coordinating Dies.

I started with some Neenah Solar White card stock and I added some Tumbled Glass Distress Ink to created the sky. Then I die cut the clouds from some White card stock and adhered them to the background with the Scotch Advanced Tape Glider. Then I adhered that panel to a Standard A2 size White card base.

I die cut the images first on a piece of White card stock lining them up where I would want the images. I partial die cut them by placing the cutting pad about halfway down the dies. This leaves the lower half of the dies uncut after you run it through. Then using an X-acto knife I cut out the bottom of the scene cutting around the partial die cuts. Then I placed the piece into the Mini Misti and stamped the images into the die cuts. I colored the images with Copics. I created the grass area by drawing it in with a Copic Multiliner pen.

I adhered the image panel to the background with some Foam tape to give it some dimension. This came out way cuter then I imagined it would. Have you tried partial die cutting yet?

I used the following Copic Sketch Markers: 

Alligator~ YG91, YG93, YG97 & YG99 Sax~ Y23, Y26 & Y28 Turtle~G21, G24, BG93 & BG96 Banner ~ Boo, B000, E34 &E37  Owl~E21,E34,E53,E25,E27, E37, E23, YR23, YR12, R17 & R29,

Hi everyone it’s Holly here today with a fun project using Lots and Lots of Die cuts!!

All the stamps and dies I’m using today are from My Favorite Things. I started by creating a frame using the Whimsical Woodgrain background stamp from MFT and some Doe Ink from Lawn Fawn on a piece of Kraft card stock. Then I die cut the frame using the Blueprints #15 & #29. Then I die cut an additional piece of White using the smaller rectangle from Blueprints #29. I added the frame to a top folding White A2 size card base with some liquid glue and then I trimmed out the top portion of the card base showing through the frame with a craft knife.

Then I stamped the images from the Adorable Hog Heaven set from MFT onto some Neenah Solar White card stock using Memento Tuxedo Black ink and colored them in with Copics: E30, E34, E44, E47, R0000. R00, R01, R02, YG17 & G07. I die cut the images using the coordinating dies. Using the smaller of the stitched rectangles from the Frame I created, I die cut a  piece of White card stock and added some Distress Inks in Crushed Olive and Mowed Lawn to create the grass. Then I added the images to the card front and then on the reverse side making sure they lined up.

I die cut a second panel from the smallest stitched rectangle and added some Distress Inks in Salty Ocean and Tumbled Glass. Then I die cut some Puffy Clouds from MFT and added the sentiment from Hog Heaven. This set is the Cutest!!!

Check out the video for more details on how I created this card.
