2 Cute Card Designs Featuring Our Duck Trio with a Frame
Hi friends! Happy Sunday! Please join me in welcoming back special guest Heather Hoffman to our blog with this adorable duo of cards featuring newly released products from our exclusive You Are My Favorite collection! Read on to learn more and enjoy!
I love a cute critter die, and growing up in a rural area on 20 acres, I have a special fondness for farm animals as well! Some of my family currently have ducks, so when I saw the adorable Duck Trio dies – I couldn’t wait to create with it! I also love card ideas that allow me to create two for similar effort – especially when they help me avoid waste. Today’s cards are a perfect example of a way to do that!
I started off by die cutting both elements of the Duck Trio dies twice – the main part from white cardstock, and the detail portion from Gina K Sunkissed Coral cardstock. I layered them together, using a touch of liquid glue to make it easy to adjust them perfectly in place.
Next, I pulled out the Petal Tipped Labels, and my Spellbinders Rainbow Hues cardstock pack – pulling out some of the Tuscan and Rainforest colors. I die cut a window using the second largest die from a panel of green cardstock, being careful to center it as perfectly as possible. I then cut the largest die from a panel of white cardstock, once again being careful to center it as best as I could. I layered them each together – the white positive over the green positive, and the green negative behind the white negative. I then grabbed a panel of the yellow cardstock to place behind each of those, mounting them with Big Momma foam adhesive for dimension that isn’t too bulky. I then mounted both of those on white cardbases.
Next up, I stamped the sentiments from Mandala Blossom (main sentiments) and With Thanks (secondary sentiments) using Nocturne ink, then heat embossing with clear embossing powder for some extra shine. I die cut the larger sentiments, and trimmed the smaller ones down into strips with a paper trimmer.
I added the ducks with small bits of the same foam adhesive to build the scene, and added the sentiments as well. Finished off with a tiny bow on one of the ducks created with Lawn Fawn white twine, and glued in place, then a few Dazzling Gems in Sprout!
Do you like to use both positive and negative die cuts to create two cards at once?
