Pixi Dust Designs – Floral Bergenia with Negative Die Cut Sentiments

Welcome back everyone! I’m happy to be sharing another card featuring the Bergenia dies from the June Pixi Dust Designs release. I am finding it so fun to cut and assemble these gorgeous layered blooms. Today I have a simple card with a fun twist to try.

I started, once again, by die cutting all the pieces to my flower and ink blended some shadows on the layers with a blending brush and dye inks. Then I used liquid glue to assemble all the pieces, except a foam square for the top layer of the flower.

Then, for my sentiment, I cut a piece of white cardstock to 4×5.25 inches and arranged my dies, using the flower for help with placement. I used pixie tape to hold the dies in place and ran the panel through my die cut machine. I was careful to keep all the little pieces of the letters too. I glued the white panel to a piece of purple cardstock and then inserted all the letter centers with liquid glue.

I added the flower with foam squares and finished the design off with a scattering of gemstones for some pretty bling. I love adding sparkle to things!

Doodlebugs – Hip Hip Hooray Tropical Bird Hot Foil

Woohoo!!! I’m so happy to be joining the Doodlebugs team! I’ll be bringing you fantastic inspiration with your favorite brands mixed and matched together. Sometimes we get in a rut of using only one brand of products per project but remember that it’s fun to combine your favorites together.

Today I had some fun hot foiling with the new Spellbinders Hooray hot foil and die set. Isn’t that speckled prism hot foil eye catching! I love it! Once that was done, I pulled out the Pretty Pink Posh Tropical Toucans and Trellis stencil to play around.

My orange panel measures 3×5.5 inches and is inked up with Lawn Fawn carrot ink for a tone-on-tone background. I popped the panel up with foam tape before adding my birds and sentiment with foam squares.

For finishing touches I added black glaze pen to the toucan’s eyes and glossy accents to their beaks. Next I put a bit of stardust Stickles on the the flower and finished the design off with a scattering of Pretty Pink Posh sea foam pearls using liquid glue.

I love how fun and happy this bright card is! It’s perfect for a variety of occasions and great to have in your stash.
