Creating Spring with Stampin'Up! Nested Friends Dies
April 25, 2023
Today we're Creating Spring with Stampin'Up! Nested Friends Dies. As you may know this gorgeous set is not carrying over into the new annual catalog, however, it is going to the Online Only products...this means that as long as supplies last you will still be able to purchase it...great news!!!
Here's today's card...
and a little closer..
First look at the beautiful halo of sunshine surrounding the nested eggs...this shape is from the Watercolor Shapes stamp set (this one is on the retired list) which gives us the shaded circle of sunshine that lights up the whole card.
The detailed die cuts are what relegate these images to the stunning level...the underlay has light embossing built into the die while the overlay is quite detailed to give that intricacy to the image.
The egg die has 3 eggs in one die --meaning that you only have to pass it through one time to create this card.
The background white layer is created with the Quatrefoil embossing folder and it totally livens up the entire card design.
Stop back by Thursday and see what we've created with this wonderful bundle of products.
I'll give you step by step directions below followed by the supply list.
