Hello and welcome back crafting friends.I'm sharing three cards today, on the Dies R Us Inspiration blog, featuring beautiful and easy to use background dies. In case you missed the great sale Dies R Us had on international dies last week, and you wanted to create cards similar to what I showed you in my last post, the cards I'm about to share with you today use dies that are always available at the Dies R Us store.
I love cutting and piecing dies together as I actually find it very relaxing, but sometimes you just don't have the time and that is when background dies come in very handy. On my first card I used the Ice Flower Frame from Precious Marieke. To finish the card I added a few silver snowflakes and a few silver star sequins.
The second card was made using the Mirror Frame from Jeanine's Art. This is such a beautiful die that I didn't want to add anything to it as it may have taken away from the beauty of the cuts and the embossing of this die. I just added a few enamel dots to go with the baubles on the Christmas tree.
For my third card, I cut the Ice Crystal Frame from Amy Design twice to add a little bit of dimension. I added a few snowflakes out of silver mirror cardstock. I used a very old set of small snowflakes to cut mine out and I'm not even sure they still around. However, if you need a set of small snowflake dies the Small Snowflake set by Impression Obsession is a great set to add to your stash.
Now you may be wondering about the cute snowmen I used, again it was a gift from my SIL. Snow Much Fun decoupage cutting sheet. They are made of 3 layers with foam dots in between each layer to build dimension on the card. Each of these cards measure 5.5" x 5.5".
Here is a quick recap of the dies I used with links to the store, for your convenience.
