Hello everyone, Welcome to DieCember® Blog Hop Day 1!
DieCember® is an exclusive Simon Says Stamp event to celebrate and promote die-cutting during December.
Today papercraft artists from all over the world are gathering together to share ideas, inspiration using products from this release.
I’m featuring Stylized Angel, Shimmer Oval and Proud of You wafer dies and you can also see sneak peek of Stitching Panel.
Watch the 4-minutes video to see products in action and how I made all the cards in this post.
Layered Angel
Stylized Angel will create a beautiful and intricate silhouette.
I adhered the negative die cuts to the angel silhouette using washi tape at the back and using double-sided foam adhesive I stuck on the background.
Then, I stacked two layers of negative die cuts on the wings one in with cardstock and the top one in gold glitter cardstock.
For the angel body, I stuck the upper part directly on the background and the bottom part was attached to the silhouette using washi tape at the back as well. This added a little bit of extra interest to the image.
I also used Stitching Panel Die to create a texture on the background and to embroider golden little starts.
The sentiments in this card are from Clean Line Christmas stamp set.
Paper Piecing
For this card, I also used Shimmer Oval wafer die to create a shaped window and to add interest to the background.
I did a very easy paper piecing. I die cut the angel from different cardstock colours and I inlaid them on the silhouette. To keep all the pieces together I stuck washi tape at the back of the image.
the sentiment was made using Proud of You wafer die.
Shaker Card
I wanted to make a shaker card as the die will also create an angel shaped window.
So I did a little bit more of paper piecing but this time I used two different gold paper qualities ( Glitterand Satin) and I just stuck the die cuts over the shaker.
For the shaker, I used Nuvo confetti and sequins.
Hot Foil and Gouache on black
For this card, I did some”je ne sais quoi”, This means I really didn’t know what I was doing but I was experimenting.
I used the die to apply heat foil and the silhouette looks beautiful but then I also feel it needed colours so I used Gouache paint to add colours to the angel and I also used Zig Kuretake Gansai Tambi Starry colours set to add colour over the angel hair and wings and I also use this metallic paints to splatter the background.
