Today I am playing around with the Picture this dies! These are new in the Annual Catalog and I hoped to show them off so they don't get over looked. The dies are not part of a 'Bundle' as most dies are, and are easy to miss. Because they are not part of a bundle, I felt free to use them in so many ways! I needed a Birthday Card for my niece, so I thought of these fun chickens. The 'Hey Birthday Chick' stamp set is really cute with a variety of adorable chickens that look great peeking out from the holes created by the Picture This dies.
I stamped the chicks on Basic White and colored them with Stampin' Blends Markers.
I created a base and cover for the chickens in Pale Papaya. I added some filler for two of the smaller holes with some 'Pattern Party' designer series paper.
This next card is a copy right out of the catalog. I like to recreate projects from the catalog to help get me going with a stamp or die set. The catalog artisans do such a great job and often I get some ideas of my own flowing as I recreate the samples.
This stamp set is Peekaboo Farm. I love how just the simple cutting out of the hooves and placing them on the outsides of the holes gives the appearance of the animals peeking out at you.
This next card uses some Designer Series Paper behind the cut outs. I used the black and white 'True Love' designer series paper and colored it with Stampin' Blends in Blackberry Bliss, Shaded Spruce and Fresh Freesia.
The large 'Thank You' is from the Ornate Thanks stamp set.
On this card, I used the Picture this dies to cut out the holes, and then I colored the images only on the cut out areas. I then popped the main panel up on dimensionals and recessed the colored cutouts. This is an old school technique called the 'Spotlight' technique.
I used the Spotlight technique on this last card as well, but this time I popped up the cutouts instead of recessing them. This card uses the Butterfly Brilliance stamp set on Crumb Cake with a Misty Moonlight base. I colored the butterflies with Stampin' Up! Colored Pencils.
Here is a video that shows these cards as well as created the Peekaboo Chickens card step by step.
