CARD DETAILS

For my today’s blog post, since school starts very soon, I thought it would be appropriate to create a World’s Best Teacher card. I started working on my project by doing all of my die cutting first. I picked a few dies and did a lot of layering with the help of regular circles.

I die-cut the main element for my card using dies from the Intertwined Spirals set out of pearlescent white cardstock. I combined the largest insert and the frame to create this piece.

Whenever there’s an insert and a frame die you can cut these in 3 different ways. You can cut just the insert – this makes up for a great lacy card front or window card. You can combine the insert with the frame like I did for my card and make a beautiful freestanding die cut. And you can also cut just the frame die to maybe create a mat to layer behind the intricate piece. I love versatile dies like this are they offer more options and possibilities when crafting.

I also die cut several additional shapes for my project:

• pierced circle using Pierced Circles Dies – cut out of pearlescent white paper
• patterned paper circle using Standard Circle SM dies
• circle frame using Standard Circles LG and Standard Circles Sm dies
• several circles out of fun foam to use instead of fun foam

My today’s card measures 6×6” – I made a top folding card base and foam mounted patterned paper panel on top. Next I layered my die cut layers using a mix of fun foam and foam adhesive squares. I also added some beautiful peach colored ribbon from May Arts and embellished my card with a large bow.

Even though I made a “World’s Best Teacher” card you can swap out a sentiment and make this card into any other one – birthday, miss you, anniversary project and so on.

Have fun die cutting!
