Dress My Craft Flower Sentiment Dies


Hi friends... .. Dr Sonia here and so happy to share a project I designed specially to showcase the gorgeous Dress My Craft Flower Sentiment dies.

 These  flower sentiment dies are so unique and beautifully designed.They are so delicate and pretty and would look good on cards on your table, in scrapbooks and simply fabulous as bookmarks!

To make these self standing Pop Up Cards  you can die cut the flower sentiment dies in white card stock and color them using your favorite coloring media to enhance the detailing. I just used Distress Inks  .

The lovely papers you can see are from the Dress My Craft Magical Unicorns 6 x 6 paper pack. You just need a small 5 x 3 inch piece of pattern paper to make this Pop Up Card .

The design I used from Magical Unicorns was so pretty I just used a few pearls to embellish the card!

These Pop Up Cards can be made with very little supplies.
Materials Used
  • Cardstock-3 x 10 inch
  • Pattern paper - Dress My Craft Magical Unicorns : Only a 5 x 3 inch strip is required: Cut this into two 1 x 3 inch strips and one 3 x 3 inch square

  • Acetate Sheet- 2 x 6 inches- trim on the 2 inch side slightly
  • Adhesive- Red Tacky Tape and Liquid Adhesive like glossy accents to help stick the die cuts to the acetate without a creating a mess!!
  • Dies : Dress My Craft Flower Sentiment Dies
  • Scoring Board
  • Bone Folders- from Dress My Craft 
  • Coloring Media: Distress Inks 
  • Glitter : Sparkling Dust

I love how the sentiment acts as the stem of the pretty flower design!
These mini cards would look cool as party props on the table...what do you say!!!

The flower die cuts have beautiful detailing on them but you can enhance the beauty with a sprinkling of Dress My Craft Sparkling dust to add a subtle shimmer to the flowers!

Cadence cream foil bond and DMC metallic foil

Hellooo there!

This Thursday I have a video tute on how to give gilding effects to your projects using the Cream foil bond from Cadence and the foil sheets from Dress My Craft!

This gilding effect gives a lovely rustic finish to your projects.

You can use the foil bond(glue) with stencils or do a free hand pattern with a brush or your fingers, allow to dry, stick the foil sheet and pull it...tadaa...you have a lovely gilded effect left on the surface!
Here is what I did with it today!

A desk top accessory which says "BLOOM" using the gilded effect.



There are more pictures in the video below.
The tutorial is here...enjoy and let me know what you think!



I have lot of pictures too in the video where I have used the foil bond on various projects. Do have a look.

That's it for today.

Until my next creative journey,
Happy crafting and recycling.
Cheers.
