One Die, Two Techniques!
Hi readers! Happy Sunday! Please join me in a big Simon welcome back to Teri Anderson! I just love seeing her clean and beautiful designs and today is of no exception! Read on and enjoy!
Hi, Simon friends!
I’m happy to be here again! Always fun to swing by! Technique Tuesday recently started producing products designed on the artwork of Cath Edvalson. Some of you night know Cath from her time as Trends editor at Paper Crafts magazine and when she wrote on the Moxie Fab World blog.Simon Says Stamp! is one of the first retailers to carry Cath’s products so I thought it’d be fun to share a couple cards made with one of my favorite Cath products, the Garden Leaves die. The die is based on some paper cutting Cath did.
I think it’s fun to create a stained glass look with the leaf.
Die-cut it a couple times from cardstock. Adhere it to a card and then use your markers to color in some of the openings. For a modern look, use bold colors like I did.
The die also comes with a mat.
So here I cut a couple mats from vellum. And then I added some leaves cut from white cardstock on top.
Here’s the tricky part: I flipped the leaves over and then used the same markers (the very same ones I used on the last card) and colored behind the leaves again.
If you try this at home, be sure to use bold colors. The vellum will mute the colors quite a bit. Finish the card off with a touch of sparkle!
Alright! Thanks for having me again today, Simon friends! Wishing you happiness in 2016!

Both look so great! Love it to use a die in more ways! (Some value for your money…)
I love these cards, and the fact that you get two completely different looks by adding vellum is amazing! Thanks!
Like both but the vellum one is special.
Both cards are so pretty–I was surprised to see how different the colors are on the vellum!
I’ve not colored in the open spaces of a die – have to try that.
I have cut several of the same die and inserted pieces into the main die for colors.
The technique in this post would be easier.
thanks for sharing some great cards.
Very impressive cards. I do find it fun to color the back of vellum. Always interesting. Thanks for the great ideas and very pretty cards.
Very clever use of these dies to create 2 looks!!
Gorgeous…love the dark and light version!
I love this die. The using two ways is so simple, but very effective. My favorite is the vellum.
thanks for sharing this with us.
Love to see samples of how to extend dies and stamps! These cards are simply gorgeous with the bold elements.
Such different looks using the same colors!! Wow! They are beautiful.
