Today I'd like to share a card I made using the scrumptious new Made From Scratch
collection and the coordinating Designer Dies and Stamps.
Have I mentioned how much I love using the clear stamps with the matching dies?
It saves me so much fussy-cutting time, and I love that I can make my own
embellishments in minutes that match the paper collections perfectly.
For this card I used the Made From Scratch 6x6 Paper Pad—I
love using 6x6 papers for cards so I can save my 12x12 sheets for layouts and
other larger projects. Plus the pattern scale fits better with the smaller size
of cards. I created my card sentiment with the lemon from the Free Range
Designer Die and Stamp Set. I just love the playful font! Then I die cut some
leaves using the Lemon Designer Die Set to embellish the top of my lemon
sentiment.
To go along with the sentiment I decided to create a mason jar
full of lemonade using the Jar Designer Die. First I die cut a jar shape from
yellow paper and trimmed off the top. Next, I die cut a jar shape from vellum,
and then a jar lid from metallic silver paper. Then I tightly rolled some
striped paper into a small paper straw and inserted it into the lid. Then I
assembled the whole jar with the vellum jar piece on top of the yellow jar piece,
adding the lid with the straw over the jar layers with foam squares for extra
dimension.
To emphasize the lemonade-in-the-jar theme I created some
“ice cubes” by sprinkling clear glass micro beads over the exposed adhesive on
some foam squares. Then I lifted the squares off the sheet and placed them
inside the jar shape.

Hi Catherine! I use the Evolution Advanced, but you can use any table top die cutting tool.
