Hello friends! I don’t think it is any secret how much I love ALL DIE CUT cards! I am crazy for them and it has been wonderful creating these sweet Winter cards that features Cardinal Love and Berry Branch using Altenew’s new Crafting Essentials Cardstock Collection. So what is special about this cardstock ? Not only are the colours unique coordinating with their fresh dye inks, but there is a beautiful and fine texture that is really amazing! Hard to keep your hands off of it!!!
There are two birds and a branch in the Cardinal Love Layering Die Set. They were cut from the new Crafting Essentials Cardstock; Coral Bliss, Heart Beat, Vineyard Berry and Pastel Sunrise for one pair and the other, Vineyard Berry, Heart Beat, Moon Rock and Evening Gray. The branch was cut from white and Nimbus/Moon Rock cardstock .
The branch was also cut from sheet foam and stacked.
The birds are easily assembled using the ‘Keyhole system’. The die cuts have an etched number indicating the order in which they are layered. There is also an illustrated guide on the packaging.
Berry Branch Layering Die Set Is a three piece die set. These are super easy to assemble! For one card, they were cut from Vineyard Berry and Nimbus cardstock. For the other, Heart Beat and Evening Gray.
A panel of Nimbus cardstock was cut to 4 1/4” by 5 1/2” for one card and Arctic Mountain for the other.
The die cuts and panel were splattered. The panels were adhered to an A2 sized, black card bases.
The sentiment from Timeless Sentiments 3 was cut from Vineyard Berry Cardstock or white and sheet foam and stacked.
To assemble the card, the foam backed branch was adhered to the card front with the cardinals sitt on them with foam squares. The foam backed sentiment was mounted next followed by the berry branch. The overhanging bits were trimmed off.
The card was embellished with Tranquility Enamel Dots for one and the for the other, Nuvo Glitter Drops White Blizzard was added to the berries.
