Hello Cards

Hello Friends and welcome back! I've got 2 very different Hello cards to share for my final DT post at the Dies R Us Inspirational Blog.

Hello Beautiful!

Both cards use several of my Favorite Cutting Dies by Sue Wilson.
For this Hello Beautiful card, I've combined some older SW dies with some newer SW dies.

DRU Products used;
Creative Expressions Cutting Dies by Sue Wilson
Noble Collection - Double Stitched Squares
Frames and Tags Collection - Rose Flower Square
Mini Expressions Collection - Hello and Hi
Frames and Tags Collection - Stitched Flags

Other Products used:
White, Black Cardstock, Acetate, Satin Ribbon, Roses EF by Sue Wilson, Silver Embossing Powder, Rose themed Button, Sentiment Stamp (for Beautiful word).

How-To Details
Dry Emboss Panel and Die Cut framings with Stitched Squared Dies. Next, die-cut the Rose Flower several times out of Black Cardstock, Red CS and Green Cardstock. Paper pIece the Flower and leaf then readher. Layer flower with extra cuts for depth and add framing. Die-cut the Hello word several times and adhere layers. Next Heat emboss the word beautiful with silver EP and die cut with the stitched flags dies. Adhere on bottom of frame. Make handmade bow and add a silver flower button to the center. I've used a heat gun. Lastly, I sprayed silver shimmer mist to the whole design.

Hello Friend!

For this card, I've also combined the newly released SW Herringbone BG die with older dies for a fun masculine look.

DRU Products
Creative Expressions Cutting Dies by Sue Wilson
Background Collection - Herringbone
Australian Collection - Background
Frames and Tags Collection - Pierced Flags
Expressions Collection - Hello
Mini Shadowed Sentiments - Best Friend

Other Products used:
Blue, Chocolate, Kraft Cardstock, Vellum Paper, Flat-back Silver Gems
***********************************************************************

How-To Details
Layer your Herringbone die cuts twice. Add Vellum over this panel. Next die-cut, layer and adhere the Hello sentiment panel several times (this adds great dimension). Then die-cut the Flags and the Friend word. Adhere as shown and place under the Hello Panel. Next Die-Cut the Australian BG twice and back it with blue cardstock around edges. Then adhere that edge over the BG to frame. Finally adhere to your card base. The finishing touches are silver flat-back gems and silver spray mist.
