3D Dino-mite Card!!!

Hello CDD Friends, Waleska from craftinglovew here to share a very fun card with a 3D effect with one of the cute characters from Dino Dig... I hope you are ready for our all NEW and AMAZING September release that will be coming soon!!!

CARD DETAILS:

For this card I started with the inside part of the card, for that I cut a piece of paper 11x4.5 inches, I centered and die cut a square window and make two marks of 1/2 inch in the up part of the square with a scoring board and fold them to create the 3D effect. I also scored at the bottom of the square to create the folding window.

After that I die cut and glue another window from a Dinosaur pattern paper for more sturdiness to my window. I planned and color my scene with this cute dino guy running away from the stones. I die cut two of the garden border dies to create the ground for my image and glue it to the back of my card frame, after that I created the night background with Chipped Sapphire and Black Soot distress inks.

I glue my 3D Window to a top folded card base in the upper and down part of the card to create the 3D effect and double folded all the creases to make sure my card will pop up when it is open by the recipient. I finally added the rest of the images and the sentiment with glue.

I left the outside of the card very simple because of the inside Surprise! I had so much fun creating this 3D card. I hope you have a great starting Month tomorrow!

Hugs,

Gems and Trolls

Hello CDD Friends Waleska here to share with you a very magical card with our cute and famous Trolls and the very versatile Garden Border Die... Aren't you just loving all our border dies?

CARD DETAILS:

I started with the night sky, and my two favourite colors to create a very easy night sky are Distress Inks in colors Blue Print Sketch and Black Soot. I put a light blend of the blue and added the black only on the edges and blend both to create the night sky. I cut a longer piece of the border die to mask the border of the soil to create a light halo for all the gems, for that I used Distress Oxide Ink Fossilized Amber, for the soil I used regular Distress Ink Walnut Stain with water splashes.

I color all the Trolls with markers to coordinate the scene. For the gems I used the same colors of the Trolls and added stickles for sparkle.

I also added little white dots with a gel pen along the card to create stars and with Versafine Ink I stamped the sentiment.

I love how you can tuck almost anything into the Garden Border die... I tucked the little diamonds, but you can put vegetables, flowers, plants this is a great die for many different types of cards.
