There are also add on products available which my first card share features…
To create this card, I stamped the branch image from THIS stamp set in each corner of a blue panel cut with THIS die. Next, I die cut THIS fox die from orange cardstock. I adhered a few layers together for dimension and adhered it to a solid die cut piece that I created by tracing the die cut opening and fussy cutting it out. To create that darker orange behind, I swiped THIS ink to cover the entire piece. I inlaid white and brown pieces from the die to certain areas to add interest and added a sentiment from the same stamp set. I finished off the design by stamping a fox image from the same stamp set on the envelope to tie everything together.

Here’s a closer look…

The second card uses THIS Classic Kit…
To create this card, I applied the kit’s inks through the kit’s layering stencils to create a quick background. Next, I used the kit’s die to “cut” out the image. I love that the die doesn’t cut the background out entirely. It just cuts certain parts of the images so you can pull them up to give lots of dimension. I added a white heat embossed sentiment and finished off the design by applying sparkle clear laquer on the flowers and the butterfly wings.

Here’s a closer look…
Love adding a bit of sparkle to catch the eye and I love that the die doesn’t cut all the way through to add lots of dimension to the pattern…
