A Little Die Cutting

Hello Crafty Friends!

I hope you're enjoying the sunshine wherever you are. Here in the UK something very special has happened... we are having a Bank Holiday weekend AND the sun is shining!!!!

Well I'm keeping this one short.I made two cards out of one die cut, here they are:
  

My First card uses a die-cut brusho background, one I made at the Happy Little Stampers Craft Retreat at the end of July in combination with the Joyful Bouquet Memory Box Die, brand new and never used before, with a little sentiment from the Doodled Flowers set by Happy Little Stampers.

Next up is the card I made using the negative of the Joyful Bouquet die on a dark background ...


... with a sentiment from the Thinking Of You set by Happy Little Stampers. Two quick cards out of one die cut.

I am entering my first card at:
Allsorts - use at least two dies, stitched rectangle and joyful bouquet
Darnell's NBUS #7 - at least one item must be 'Never-Before-Used-Schtuff', joyful bouquet is mine

Happy Little Stampers - Anything Goes with dies
Happy Little Stampers - Anything Goes using Happy Little Stampers stamps

That's it from me. Have a lovely day!

  1. Love your backgrounds! I have always loved my brushos but am using them more and more. The delicate die cut and sentiments work beautifully together :) xx

  6. Aren't dies just the greatest that we can (usually) get two cards out of one cut! I love this, Monika, and love the inspiration for a beautiful way to use a Brushos background to let it shine through! Which background, BTW, is soft and gorgeous! I also love how you did a card with b/w and a pop of red for your negative number! Thank you so much for playing in my NBUS Challenge #7! I hope you enjoyed the Bank Holiday AND sunshine!! Hugs, Darnell
