Hello You Thinlits Dies

Leave a reply

I am really sad that the Hello You Thinlits Dies are retiring – I often reach for them for the finishing touch for a card as can be seen here. If you imagine the card without the hello, it’s nothing much. Add the lovely copper foil word and there’s fun.

I’m continuing on my quest to make cards using DSP so as to make room for the new beautiful DSP coming our way soon! This beautiful patterned paper comes from the Fruit Stand DSP (currently still available and on sale for $8.80); I love the soft watercolored look. I’ve just cut a rectangle of the DSP ( 4 1/2″ by 3 1/4″) and then matted it with a piece of peekaboo peach that is 1/8 inch larger so that there’s a tiny 1/16 inch border all around. This is then put onto a card base of thick whisper white. I can’t wait to get the thick very vanilla that’s in the new catalog!

Then I cut out the hello from the Hello You Thinlits Dies in copper foil and used the silicone craft mat, a dauber and tombow to glue it on. You put glue on the dauber and then dab most of it off so that you’re only dabbing a little onto the back of the sentiment. As long as you don’t allow the sentiment to move, there’s no glue on the front and no oozing from the back.

Here are a few other cards I’ve made with the Hello You thinlits dies

Fruit Stand DSP

Leave a reply

This is one of my favourite papers from the 2016-1017 catalog, the Fruit Stand DSP. And this is my favourite paper from within this stack. The lemons are so beautiful. The Fruit Stand DSP is still available at the time of writing, but there are no guarantees.

I took a piece of pear pizzazz and cut it to a quarter inch under the card base ( 5 1/4 by 4 inches) and then took the DSP and cut it to an 1/8 inch under that. Before gluing everything together I cut out the big sentiment using the Hello You framelit dies out of pear pizzazz and then stamped the greeting in more pear pizzazz onto the DSP. I glued on the sentiment using my silicone craft mat, a dauber and multi purpose glue. The card base is daffodil delight. I am sad that the Hello You dies are retiring, I use them quite a bit. But I’m sure that there will be things to replace them.

Hello You Party Animal

Leave a reply

I’m really enjoying the Party Animal DSP which is where the gorgeous happy party background paper comes from today.

Other colours in the DSP pack are pacific point and crushed curry so that helped decide on the colour of the card stock for the thanks which comes from the retiring framelits, Hello You. I can’t believe this is retiring – I use it all of the time. I added this to a banner cut with the triple banner punch out of emerald envy and popped it up with dimensionals on the DSP which was glued to an emerald envy card base. The DSP and framelits are both as supplies last but they are currently still available.

Avant Garden emboss resist thank you

Leave a reply

A couple of days ago I was playing with the Avant Garden set when I decided to use the emboss resist technique with it.

Liz Bailey Stampin' Up! Demonstrator - Avant Garden - Hello You thinlits dies - emboss resist

I used a piece of watercolor paper for the top layer and, after using the embossing buddy, stamped the flower image from Avant Garden in versamark. It was hard to see where I’d stamped but if I held the paper at the right angle, I could just see where the versamark was so as to avoid stamping again in the same place. I sprinkled on the clear embossing powder and heated. I actually did two pieces at the same time figuring that it was likely that one would be the test piece but although they are different, they both came out well.

I took the first piece since it had had time to cool down and added a lot of water with my aquapainter. Then I used dapper denim and bermuda bay to add colour. I went back a few times, adding more of one colour or the other and blending in places. Whilst that was drying, I did my second piece, which I’ll share tomorrow.

The watercolor paper had bowed a little after the embossing and all the water, so the bermuda bay mat helped to straighten it, as well as give a good border. This then went onto a  dapper denim card base. To finish off the card, I cut out the thanks using the Hello You framelits dies in dapper denim. I dabbed glue onto it using a sponge dauber and the silicone craft mat – this way, as I’ve mentioned before, you get enough glue onto the back without glue spooling around the cut out.

I was really pleased with how this technique worked and love the dapper denim and bermuda bay together. I’m going to try a few more colour combinations as well.

Avant Garden Happy Birthday

Leave a reply

I really liked the multi coloured flowers that I made about a week ago with Avant Garden and decided to have another go. This time using daffodil delight with watermelon wonder.

I had a strip of whisper white card stock so that I could keep fairly straight along with my stamping but the first attempt was just too straight. So I added a bit more movement and I like how it came out. I inked up the flower stamp with daffodil delight and then added a tap with a sponge dauber inked in watermelon wonder. I then went back afterwards and added the stamens, again in watermelon wonder, after stamping off once. To add a little more shimmer, which doesn’t photograph very well at all, I also went over the stamens with a clear wink of Stella. The birthday is also from Avant Garden and the colour is the same mix of daffodil delight and watermelon wonder created the same way by dabbing watermelon wonder lightly on top of the stamp once it was inked in daffodil delight. This was actually because I made this card over a couple of days and thought I was using real red and figured that it would not look right with more muted shade of the flowers. I was also sick so I’m claiming that as the reason that my brain wasn’t working!

To finish off the card, I cut out the happy using the Hello You thinlits dies in watermelon wonder and put it on a strip of whisper white before putting my layer onto a watermelon wonder card base.
