Detailed Floral Thinlits Dies

I have a four day weekend stretching out in front of me with nothing particular to do (so far), so I’m looking forward to some crafting. This is a good thing since yesterday I booked a business trip out of town for the week of the 11th so I need to get ahead on my blog. This morning I decided to play more with the Detailed Floral thinlits dies. I love the night of navy and white together on page 76 and 77 of the catalog where this die is featured but I figured that emerald envy was of the same deep rich intensity and it ought to work pretty well too. And it does.

Whilst I was choosing a greeting for my card, I decided on the Vertical Greetings set and all of a sudden my card turned horizontal! So here I’ve cut two of the smaller dies with the edge cut as well. I placed them onto the thick whisper white cardbase for placement purposes and decided where to put the greeting. The stamp-a-ma-jig is so handy for this. And because the stamp has a nice large gap between the words, there’s no need for masking, just tap a single word onto the ink pad and you’re good to go. After stamping (successfully) the words, I glued on the detailed floral thinlits diecuts. You’ll notice that there is a flower in the die and that’s what I’ve used for my embellishment – and they are popped up on teeny fragments of stampin’ dimensionals for some fun.
