This first card features a fun, very versatile new die called Create a Background Strips (FRA-DIE-10818). If you are like me and you love the stitched cover plates, you are going to love this die too! This card also features Giant Layered Thanks stamp and dies (FRA-DIE-10596) which I couldn't find in the store. You could certainly use any of the "giant" stamps and dies here.
This card started with a red card blank (A2) and a white cardstock panel. I used 2 of the Create a Background Strips to make the stitched and punched background. I cut "thanks" from black cardstock and the background from red with white polkadots and adhered them as shown above. I stamped "a million", added 2 puffy heart stickers and I have a card ready to go! Here is what the Create a Background Strips dies looks like -
My next card was my first ever attempt at a pocket card using the envelope punch board and it went pretty well. This has a little surprise inside. Here is a link to the tutorial I used as a starting point. I ended up doing a couple of things a little differently, but I think it went well. I may try to put up a pictorial tutorial. If you are interested, please leave it in the comments and I will definitely try to get it done.
Stamps and dies used in this card include - Create a Background Strips (FRA-DIE-10818), Cinched Ribbon Bow (FRA-DIE-10811), Gift Card Pocket (FRA-DIE-10809), Eight Tiny Tags (FRA-DIE-10734), Stiitched Circles (FRA-DIE-09637) and Tiny Tags Birthday Stamps (FRA-CL-150).
