Our talented creative team is back with one more round of inspiration using this month’s new products! I couldn’t leave the release without using the Starry Night Cutting Plate on a card as it’s up there with some of my favorite products from this release. It has so much versatility, but I decided to keep it patriotic with this card:
I started by die cutting the plate from one of our newest cardstock colors; Blue Corn. Then I stamped the fireworks from Light Up the Night onto the die cut piece with Versamark ink and embossed with white sparkle embossing powder. You can’t tell from the picture, but I adhered the cutting plate over a piece of white glittered cardstock so all of the stars are sparkly.
Then I die cut the Downtown Border from our new Watermelon cardstock. I colored a piece of vellum with yellow marker and cut it to fit behind the red layer and give the appearance of a warm glow from the windows. I embossed the sentiment from Of Thee I Sing at the bottom of the buildings and adhered the piece with foam tape over the top of the cutting plate.
As I mentioned above, our creative team is back today with more inspiration so make sure you check out their projects by clicking their photos below and leave ’em some love too!
