A Congratulations Card using the die from Tattered Lace Magazine

a Cut at Home Design Team Project 

 

Today I'm sharing a card which I used the free die, Congratulations, and the designer paper that came with the Tattered Lace Magazine issue number 23.  Each magazine has one or more free dies along with several pages of designer paper.

I love how Tattered Lace dies cut and this sentiment is no exception.  I die cut it four times and glued them all together to form a nice thick embellishment for the front of my card.  The die cut comes out clean with no ragged edges and beautiful flourishes.  I think when they are stacked this way they even look nicer because everything is so much more pronounced with more definition to the letters.

I carried the same paper theme to the inside of my card.  The striped paper from the magazine and the addition of the white doily.  I added pearls on the front and inside just altering the sizes.  The Celebrate you day sentiment if from JustRite Papercrafters Morning Splendor clear stamp collection.  I love this set of eight stamps and I'm sure it's going to make a wonderful set of cards.

Besides the free die each magazine issue give you a section on how you can snip and alter the die cuts to create new words, flourishes frames or embellishments.  Please join me on todays video as I share how I changed the free die Congratulations into a Flourish Frame and the shorter word 'Congrats' with a great flourish at the beginning and end.

Supplies will be linked directly below the video.  Thanks for stopping by and spending some of your day with me.

Tattered Lace Easel Card

a Cut at Home Design Team Project 

I don't know why I don't make more easel cards, I love the look of them and they aren't hard.  Today's inspiration came from an assortment of Tattered Lace Magazines (links below the video).  Not only do you get free die(s) with each magazine you also get gorgeous designer paper, instructions for projects, templates and an huge amount of inspiration.

  

I had so many bits and pieces I'd cut out when playing and designing my card I decided to make a second one, this time an A2 card (the easel card is a 6" square).  Again using the dies and papers (along with a few other goodies from the store) for this second card.

Come join me on todays video, we'll make the easel card together, I'll share the fabulous, inspirational insides to the magazines and hopefully inspire you to make a few cards yourself.

Tattered Lace Panorama Cards

a Cut at Home Design Team Project

Today I'll be sharing two cards completely different in looks but both made with Tattered Lace dies including the Panorama Concertina Dies to get this fabulous dimensional effect.  I've used white on white for the Christmas card with lots of glitter and lots of foam tape for sparkle and dimension.

For the second card I chose a completely different look for the same basic card construction using the vibrant colors from Graphic 45's World's Fair Collection.  Don't you love the depth the Tattered Lace Concertina dies give these cards?  I used the Tattered Lace Essential Circles dies to cut the apertures for the layers.  Wow what a great bargain this is, you get 19, yes 19 dies that graduate 1/8th" between sizes.  I think I need the rectangles, squares and ovals too!

You're going to love today's video because I'll share my struggles trying to get the first card right and the simplicity of assembly of the second card.  Both cards will be start to finish.  See you there!
