A Golden Happily Ever After...

The wonderful folks at In2Craft, based in the UK, have challenged me to create with the fabulous Sue Wilson Frames and Tags Isobel cutting die.... Here is what I came up with...

A mostly ALL GOLD Happily Ever After ...

same card, but in different lighting to show off the intricate die-details
Card Recipe
Stamps: none
Paper: Heavy Gold Wrapping Paper (backed with spray adhesive for added weight), Cream CS
Paper Size: 5x6
Ink: none
Accessories: Gold Flat-back Pearls, Pearl beads (for flower centers) & the following Cutting Dies by Sue Wilson; Frames & Tags Isobel (from Sue's April release), Special Occasion Collection Ornate Framed Happily Ever After, Finishing Touches Delicate Fronds & Exquisite Poppy Die set.
Techniques: Multi-Layering

A little TUTORIAL on creating die-shaped cards...
Hope the pictures are self-explanatory, but if not, here's the typed version too: SImply run your die through your die-cutting machine as normal, but use a folded piece of cardstock instead of a single sheet. Then place this folded card under the die leaving the die just slightly off the card's edge. Then run it through and die-cut it according to your machine's die-cutting sandwich plate instructions. This will give you a card fold in the same shape of your die. Then die-cut another 2 panels in full die size and adhere one to the card base and the other one behind the card base. You end up with fun card bases in the shapes of your dies! Hope this makes sense and that you'll give it a try!
