Fine Shimmer Around the Bend

 I love dies that create interest in my card design.  The new Around the Bend dies do just that! I spotted this gorgeous card cr3ated by LeeAnn Greff and knew I needed to try this with my new dies! She paired the new, Fine Shimmer paper with the Dainty Flowers FREE SAB DSP. The picture doesn't do this justice, as it just doesn't catch the shimmer!


Measurements:  

  • Basic White: 1/2 sheet, 1 3/4" x 3", scrap
  • Dainty Flowers DSP (N)(SAB): 4" x 5 1/4" (Blushing Bride print)
  • Fine Shimmer Paper (N): 2 3/8" x 5 1/2", scraps (Soft Succulent)
  • Blushing Bride: scraps
To Make This Card:

  • Lay the "Scalloped, Curvy" die onto bottom of Shimmer Paper. Tape "Stitched, Curvy" die above with Washi Tape, and cut both dies out of the paper together. Note: the scalloped edge will cut separately from the stitched die, and the stitched die does NOT cut the upper edge. We'll trim that later!
  • Adhere the "Scalloped Curvy" piece to the bottom of the Blushing Bride DSP. (You will trim the DSP to follow this curve.
  • Next, adhere the "Stitched Curve" above leaving about a 1/16" gap.You should have approx 1 3/4" of DSP showing above the cut edge of the Shimmer Paper.  Trim down, if necessary, making sure the cut edge of the Shimmer Paper is parallel to the cut edge of the DSP.(i.e. it's straight).
  • Attach this layer to the folded White card.
  • Cut Stitched Rectangle from piece of White.
  • Stamp sentiment in Soft Succulent along right side.
  • Die cut 3 "Leaves" from Shimmer Paper, and Flowers from Blushing Bride.  Also cut flower center from scrap of White, if desired.
  • Assemble flowers on tag, as shown. Then adhere to card front as desire.
  • Add a little Wink of Stella to the White center.
  • FInish with new Iridescent Pastel Gems.
