Flamingos + A Video!

Hi! I hope you're having a great week. I accidentally published my Glitz post...whoops! I've revised it below.

I was on the Glitz blog last week sharing a video with how I turned a patterned paper from the new Felicity collection into a die-cutting file. [You can watch the video in YouTube to see it in high definition.]




To make my first card, I backed the flamingos die-cut with one of the 6x6 Felicity papers:


Glitz Flamingos


Next, I opened the sweet "I love you" sentiment in Photoshop. I reduced the size and added the heart on the bottom. The sentiment is also a sticker, but I wanted a slightly smaller element to show off some of the layers:

I Love You A Lot.

Here's a close-up to see the layers of Felicity papers:


I Love You A Lot.

For my second card, I used the single die-cut flamingo:

Beautiful

I used papers and stickers from Felicity. Isn't the flower pretty?

Beautiful

There is a sticker that has "Beautiful" on it, but I used a digital element to create a longer banner. I die-cut the flower using Paper Smooches Pocket dies

Beautiful


Thanks so much for stopping by!

  2. Love your cards. The first one is super duper gorgeous, the papers are beautiful.
    Thanks for the tutorial, but this is one of those that I won't be using, unless I be patient enough to grab my x-ato knife and cut out a bunch of flamingos... hmmm... I don't think so :).
