Exquisite Hummingbird Wafer Die
The Exquisite Hummingbird Wafer Die is one of my favourites from this release. It is also very affordable (under $10)
This die will cut the 6 pieces we need to create a hummingbird in one pass through the die-cutting machine.
For this reason, I always die-cut the pieces out of withe smooth cardstock (300 grams) and add colours using Pawsitively Saturated Inks and Simon Says Stamp brushes.
All the cards in this post are C6 ( A2) 4-1/4″ x 5-1/2″ inches.
To provide extra ideas, I changed the designs by layering the elements in different ways. However, I used the same supplies and ink colours for all the cards in this post.
The sentiments are from different sets:
- Sending a Paper Hug is from the Bad Day Good Vibes stamp set
- Teacher is a die-cut word made using the Teacher Wafer Dies.
I completed the sentiment in the teacher card using stamps from a set called Thankful Flowers by Simon Says Stamp (Sadly retired) - Your Story Matters is a pre-printed sentiment included in the CZ Design Sentiment Strips Bad Day Good Vibes.
