I had not been looking forward to using the new Thinlit Expression dies because
I thought they might be hard to use as they produce such a fine die cut. But I was
pleasantly surprised and had no problem releasing the foil cardstock from the die.
Just love this foil as the result is really classy. I printed the snowflakes from the
MDS stamp set Festive Flurry.
This is a case from Mary Fish. Very simple and effective.
This is the negative left over after the sentiment is pushed out. Just make sure you
keep the bit from inside the y and the e and glue them on. The ornaments were made
with the Mosaic punch. The snowflake from Warmth and Wonder was stamped
and punched for the central part of the design.
This time the negative image was matted with Gumball Green cardstock and then
mounted onto a sheet from Seasons of Style paper stack.
The silver foil goes well with the silver ribbon. The ornament punch was used to
cut the ornament and then the snowflake was stamped from the Christmas
Collectibles in Island Indigo to make a pretty centre. Coastal Cabana and
Smokey Slate make such a pretty combination.
The card base is Island Indigo (despite looking like Midnight Muse). The silver foil die cut is mounted first on Coastal Cabana and and then onto Winter Frost DSP. A Clay button and silver ribbon finish off the card.
The cardstock is Naturals Ivory. The other colours are Crisp Cantaloupe and
Pistachio Pudding. Isn't the ruffled ribbon a lovely finishing touch? The bottom is
embossed with Delicate Designs embossing folder.
embossing folder. The sentiment is mounted onto Crisp Cantaloupe. The leaves
are from the Bird punch and the flower is from Boho Blossoms punch.
I found the thankful die was a little tricky to release the cut. I took the suggestions
on the net and used waxed paper between the cardstock and the die and presto
no sticking and the die cut popped out when poked through the small release
holes on the other side.
I think these dies will be very well used!
