Two-Color Cutest Crew

 I apologize that the next few posts are using that darling Cutest Crew Bundle - which IS still available in the online store. I found this delightful 2-color card using Pecan Pie and Poppy Parade.  I just love this color combination!  Again, I used 2 color "brown" Blends color combinations to color the puppies - however, instead of Pecan Pie, which was a little too dark, I used our new Golden Glow!  It's perfect!! I also used a soon-to-be-released (Sept 1) Embossing Folder, Softly Woven 3D Embossing Folder. This is just adorable!


Measurements:  

  • Pecan Pie : 1/2 sheet, 4 " x 5 1/4"
  • Poppy Parade: 1" x 5 1/2", scraps 
  • Basic White: 3 1/4" square (circle), 1 1/4" x 4 1/4" (stamped image), scrap, 4" x 5 1/4" (inside)
To Make this Card:

  • Run Pecan Pie layer through new Embossing Folder.  Adhere to folded Pecan Pie card base.
  • Die cut largest Stylish Shapes Die circle from square of White.  Adhere to front of card.
  • Die cut 2 "decorative strips" from Poppy Parade, along with 2 "sets" of "butterflies".
  • Trim the 2"decorative strips "to approximately 4 1/4" (so they don't hang off the card base.) Set aside.
  • Stamp "puppies" onto strip of White. Color with Blends as shown.  Add contrasting Poppy Parade accents as you can.  Die cut.
  • Stamp sentiment in Poppy Parade ink. Die cut with Banner from Stylish Shapes Dies.
  • Ok. Now, to arrange this onto the circle.
  • I started with the 2 "decorative strips". Attach them near the bottom 1/2 of the circle, criss-crossing them, a little "tighter" to the Right, because I added the sentiment a little off-center and to the right.  You can play with this to give you the look that appeals to you.
  • I then added the sentiment over the strips with Dimensionals.
  • Next, add the "puppies".  They almost go across the center of the circle.  I attached them with Dimensionals.
  • Finish by adding the larger "butterflies" to the open areas of the circle with Glue Dots, as well as Pecan Pie dots from the Earthy Matt Dots.
