Its time for another challenge at the AEI♥U, and I think you're going to love this month's theme:
Yes, inlaid die cuts! Its on trend, it fun, and the technique takes die cutting to a whole other level. My non-crafty friends have seen some of my cards, and pretty much anything that involves inlaid die cutting results in the "how did you do that?!" reaction. I just love it. Here's what I made:
I used the Avery Elle Weather It clear stamp set along with its coordinating Weather It Elle-ments die set. First I die cut the umbrellas on the card base two times, in the position that I wanted them to be on the card. Then I stamped and watercolored the die cuts. Added the little hearts where the umbrellas intersected for a cute touch. I also heat embossed the sentiment on some scraps of black card stock and cut them into banners.
Then my favorite part. Putting the die cuts back into the negative space on the card base. I love this part because it reminds me of putting a puzzle together. I know I sound like a total dork, but I find piecing everything back together incredibly rewarding:)
And there you have it! I hope you check out the AEI♥U Challenge blog. My fellow challenge team members have created some beautiful cards using the inlaid die cutting technique, and they are sure to inspire you. And get this...TWO winners will be chosen to receive a $25 Avery Elle gift certificate. Can't beat that!
I hope you join the fun at AEI♥U. Please make sure to check out the AEI♥U Challenge blog for all the rules and guidelines of this month's challenge. Looking forward to seeing your creations!
