Hello! I'm stopping by to share a few cards using the fun Color Block: Mini Diamonds etched dies that are part of the Color Block geometric shapes that that released recently from Spellbinders. I'm a bit late in the game in sharing my cards - but these dies are super fun! I have 3 cards to share today, the first two are similar, but with totally different color combos. The final card is a stepped up design that uses this die a little less, but with a fun added impact to the other supplies used!
Let's take a closer look at all of them! First up this card that uses lots of fun colors for a simple and classy design.
For this card I die cut the detail layer on the Color Block: Mini Diamond from a bunch of different colored cardstock scraps - they are the perfect size for using up scraps! I mixed and matched all the colors together to create several bright and fun color mixes.
I layered them on a white cardbase, adhering the outer and middle ones directly on the card base with liquid glue, and the two center ones popped up on foam adhesive for a bit of dimension.
For the sentiment, I hot foiled a sentiment from Mini Everyday Sentiments Hot Foil set, and die cut it with the included banner die, then added that over the top of my diamond detail.
For my next card, I used the same layout, but varied the colors and dimension slightly!
This time I just used an aqua cardstock, white cardstock, and gold foil cardstock for the diamonds. One of my favorite color combos!
I adhered all these simply with liquid glue, but started from the outer edges and worked toward the center to overlap them. That way the center one was popped up the most! I also balanced the ones on the side with the opposite side, so it kept things more even.
Finally, I added another hot foiled sentiment from the same Mini Everyday Sentiments Hot Foil set, and die cut it with the included banner die, before popping this one up with foam adhesive for the dimension on this one.
And finally, I only used one of the Color Block: Mini Diamond layers for this card, but it provided a great focal point and elegant finish for this card!
For this one I heat embossed the Glimmering Peony hot foil plate on vellum - and I was super excited that the vellum I picked up from Spellbinders hot foiled beautifully! I have struggled in the past with hot foiling on vellum, and decided to try this one. I'm so glad I did - it worked on the first try! YAY!
I fussy cut the flower out, and then moved on to adding some texture to the cardbase. I used Nestabilities Essential Ovals Etched dies - the dots only on the base layer that I attached to my cardbase, and then a simple white oval to layer over that with foam adhesive. Finally, I used a bit of liquid glue to adhered my florals to that oval, just under the diamond that I attached to hide the adhesive.
I did the diamond on this one in Barely Peach, white, and gold mirror cardstock. Nice and simple and elegant! I also added another sentiment from the Mini Everyday Sentiments Hot Foil set, and die cut it with the included banner die. I popped that up with a bit of additional foam adhesive. I think this card would be perfect for a bridal shower or wedding, don't you think?
