Easy (Cheats) Inlaid Die Cutting with Stampin' Up's Greetings Thinlits- Tutorial Included :-)

Hello there,
So, did you love my Butterfly Thinlits Inlaid Die Cutting video last Saturday? It was one of my favourite cards I have made recently but I do realise that it was quite a complicated, drawn out process. Obviously we haven't always got time to do that on every card so how about I share with you a cheats version of that card?? You can make this card really quickly and easily, so easy in fact I added it to my Stamp-a-Stack class this week (10 cards -5 different- in 3 hours). Lets take a look...
Here's how to get this inlaid die cut look with less effort :
Simply add three strips of Pretty Petals DSP, each measuring 1.5cm wide, down the side of a Whisper White card layer 9.5cm x 13.8cm using tombow glue (use glue rather than tape for this as it needs to be adhered all along the strip) and trim away the ends. 
Then die cut your chosen Greetings Thinlit from the white card and DSP layer. 
Next die cut the word again in Watermelon Wonder card. 
Add the white card to a black card layer (10cm x 14.3cm) ensuring you add plenty of adhesive around the edges where the greeting is cut away- again, tombow is perfect. 
Now add tiny dots of tombow to the back of your word and insert it into the gap in the white card.
Add these layers to a Watermelon card blank (A5 or 10.5cm x 29.6cm, scored at 14.8cm) and finish with a coat of Crystal Effects on the word. 
For tips and trick please also watch the full Inlaid Die Cutting Video :-)
I do love me a bit of Crystal Effects! It really makes this greeting really pop!
 And one more picture to finish today! 
One last thing to note - as I type right now - the Magnetic Platform is reduced to just £25.20 from £36.00 on the weekly deals but they are now "while stocks last" so if you have been coveting one of these please order yours asap!! They are not essential for this technique but they sure do make it easier! I love mine and use it all the time!
 OK, I hope you have enjoyed today's card and if you have a go at this cheats version or even the full inlaid die cutting technique please do share it with me!
Thanks for stopping by today,

Saturday Sharing! New Video Tutorial sharing Inlaid Die Cutting Technique

Hello,
As requested I have made a new video for you today sharing how to do this Inlaid Die Cutting Technique. *You can see my original card HERE* It's quite a long video, but not complicated, and the results are really lovely so I hope you have a chance to give it a go but first lets take a look at the card I made during the video shall we?
 I used the Butterflies Thinlits dies again with the Greetings Thinlits and changed up the colours to Mint Macaron and Black instead of Watermelon and Black, you can see that (original) version HERE.
 Nice and flat, perfect for posting! ;-)
 And a top view! So which is your favourite colour combo??
So, lets take a look at this video!!
Well, I hope you enjoyed this extra Saturday treat? 
*EDIT TO SAY* If this version is too long for you and you need a card in a hurry I now also have a cheats version for you HERE! Enjoy!!
Please feel free to Pin this picture so you can easily find this tutorial again. 
And please remember to link back here if you have a go so others can find this tutorial too! 
Thanks as ever for visiting today and I'll be back tomorrow with a new card for you again :-)

Inlaid Die Cutting Technique with Stampin' Up's Bold Butterflies and Pretty Petals DSP Stack.

Hello!
Apologies as I didn't manage to blog yesterday. This was because I had a sewing day here at home. I'm making (have nearly finished actually) a new picnic blanket. A few things I have learnt (for me) about sewing this last few weeks: I make my own life harder by over complicating things ;-), sewing takes a lot longer than you think it will, it takes over the whole house and the mess! Let's not even go there!! I do enjoy it though but it's definitely going to continue be a once in a while hobby for me. I prefer the speed and accuracy of card and paper if I'm honest. That said I have some lovely new fabric coming my way so I will have to play with that soon ;-)
CLASS NEWS: I have added a last minute All Day Card Class for the 18th, 20th or 21st July. More details can be found HERE.
OK, So onto todays card. Is it OK to say I adore this card? I know, it's probably not very right and proper to say that about one of your own cards but every once in a while a card just comes out exactly as I thought it would, if not better! Part of the love for this card is the colours. I love Watermelon Wonder teamed with White and Black (see these cards too), it's perfectly retro with a modern twist. Take a look...
**Edit to say: I have made a little video tutorial with full directions for how to make this card. You can find it HERE** :-)
 This card uses the inlaid die cutting technique teamed with the gorgeous Pretty Petals DSP stack.
 Making it completely flat! 
I was thinking I might do a little video sharing this technique? 
If you would like that please do let me know!
 I added Crystal Effects to the greetings thinlit word and a few white Perfect Accents
 *Sigh* and a top view to finish today :-)
Well, that's all from me for today.
Ill be back tomorrow with another card and I'll try to get a photo of my pretty Picnic Blanket if I can get it finished and if it stops showering long enough of course ;-)
Thanks for looking today,
Stampin' Hugs,

CAS Hello Card using Greetings Thinlits by Stampin' Up!

Hello,
I was really excited when saw these awesome greetings thinits in the new catalogue as I think the font is just so versatile. I'll also let you in on a  little secret here, I have a lots of projects in the pipeline using these little beauties!! Bet that's a surprise, right?? lol!
OK, so this CAS card was born from the waste of another I recently made, can you tell which one??






Yes, it was this CAS Ice-cream card I made at the beginning of the month 
(you can find that post  HERE) 






So, back to this design, I had die cut the sentiment from the Rose Red card layer and was left with the negative which I backed using this cool, stripey green paper from the Cherry on Top DSP stack
 I used (again) the new, thick white card and embossed it using the large polka dot folder and sprinkled a few mini glimmer paper stars across the card
 I love this simple card and it used up a small piece of card that was going to be waste, that's a winner all round for me! What do you think?
Well, that's all from me for today,
I'll be back tomorrow with a new card but 'till then- go make something fun!
Stampin' Hugs,
