One for the boys

Here is a little something for the boys!

 

I find it hard to find dies that I can use on boy projects including birthday cards.  Here is a little something I whipped up.

 

What did I use and how.........

 

I've used the Lifestyle Crafts/Quickutz Football die (REV-0100) which I cut out twice to get the two toned effect.

 

Emboss a piece of paper big enough for the Fishtail Flag STAX from My Favorite Things.

 

Cut out some grass.  Here I used Lifestyle Crafts/Quickutz (REV-0183-S) Grass die.

 

Lastly cut out a sentiment strip and stamp a sentiment on it to suit the occassion.

 

Stick everything down and that's it!

Keep it simple

Take a look at the Frilled Blossom from Fancy That. 

The Frilled Blossom by Fancy That is the first flower of it's kind to be designed and made as a die.  This flower goes against all of the requirements for die making and it's a beauty!!!!

It's detailed and delicate and 2 flowers come in a set.  Frill them up or leave them flat. Either looks great!

How to build the flower in the card as shown......

Cut 2 large blossoms and stick one on top of the other then...

Cut 2 of the smaller blossom, stack them together and layer on top of the large blossom. 

Instead of a flower centre, roll the Fancy That Scalloped rolled rose and stack it on top.

The beauty of flower dies and rolled flower dies is that you can create your own dimensional flower mixing flowers from different sets.

Butterflies and Dragonflys

The tag on this card is so cute. off cuts were used to get that striped effect.  A great way to USE YOUR SCRAPS!

Use the tag on it's own as a gift tag with a personalised message on the back.

Add a little bit of stitching and VOILA!!

I {heart} the silhouette that is left after you have cut your dies out.  With most of the dies we sell you can achieve this effect.  Add some patterned paper, fabric or whetever you like behind the silhouette and this is what you get.  SO CUTE and a GREAT EFFECT!!!

Butterfly Quartet
Dragonfly

HOW TO easily eject your die cut from your steel die - TUTORIAL

Some of you may be wondering, how do I easily and painlessly remove my die cut from my die easily. 

If your die has poke holes you can try these but sometimes, the poke holes are too small.

There are 2 solutions:

• adhere ejection foam to your die which may need to be replaced over time.  If you don't know what this is, it a white thin foam with an adhesive backing and is found on some Lifestyle Crafts, Quickutz dies.  It helps your die cut eject from the steel die easily.

• the alternative is to spray your die with furniture polish, wipe it completely clean then run it through your table top machine.

I tested this and sure enough the die cut popped right out.  What a great money saving tip!

You may need to repeat the process every now and then but this depends on how often you use the die.

I hope this helps and hope you liked my images.  The page looked to bare without them.

Have a Craftastic Day!!!

I used the Nesting Stars Quickutz die from Lifestyle Crafts and the Quickutz Flourish die (DR0210).

You see, you don't have to scrapbook or make cards to use Quickutz dies. You just have to have an imagination.

Have a fab day!
