Make A Wish - DRU

Hello, and welcome. Today is my last post as part of the Dies R Us team. I am stepping done since the holiday season is busy for my shop. I will be sharing with you today a shaker card

I am sure you are like me and you have rolls of washi tape to last a lifetime. Here is a little tip match the print up and create a pattern paper with it. Adhere this to a card base. My card is 7" x 4" so I did the pattern paper a 1/4" smaller.

I love these edger dies. All I did was run it through my die cut machine and took a craft knife ad removed the inside to create a frame. Now on the back of the frame, you would want to use a strong double-sided adhesive to attach a piece of plastic, I used an old page protector. After, the plastic is in place cover the inner frame edge with a foam adhesive. Set aside while we create the confetti.

Now with the mini dies I did multiple cuts of each. This will be part of the confetti filler in the shaker.

In the center fill the card up with the confetti die cuts and sequins. Since this shaker fills the entire card front I added a lot of filler.

Now, remove the foam adhesive backing from the frame and carefully line it up to the card. Press the frame edges down firmly to ensure no confetti of escaping. Give it a shake and you are now done.

Edger Birthday Card

Hello everyone, I am stopping by today with a simple birthday card.

I used an Impression Obsession celebrate edger die. If you are new to these here is a quick tip on getting it right every time. First, create a scoreline in the card base, make sure the cardstock is wider than the die. Line the die's score line on the card's fold scoreline. Use a low tack tape to hold it in place, Don't over tape the die to the card since the tape becomes more "permanent" once it is through the machine.

Here is what the back of the card looks like once the edger is popped out.

I used the bunting die from Frantic Stamperbelow the edger to mimic the banner embossed cardstock. The die might be little but cuts through the glitter and mirror cardstocks easily.

Then it comes to making cards I love to create a matching envelope seal, I figure it is a great way to use some of the scraps that I have from creating the card. I punch a 1" circle from cardstock and glue a die-cut, in this case, a little party hat.
