There are so many fun ways to use dies in card making and this is certainly a fun way to use the negative space (that area or space that is left behind after creating the die image) The Amazing Thanks die set is one of those fun word die sets that contains the die cuts of the words themselves but also the matching dies to create the matte image around the word! In this card I used the matte image die to create the “space” in the card front! Come along and check it out!
Measurements: (This will make 2 cards)
Orchid Oasis CS (1) 8 1/2″ x 11″ sheet
Sore across at 4 1/4″ on the 8 1/2″ side
then turn so the 11″ side is up and cut at
5 1/2″ across the score line creating (2)
5 1/2″ x 8 1/2″ cards scored at 4 1/4″
DSP Dainty Flowers Sale-a-bration DSP
4″ x 5 1/4″
Basic White CS (1) 4 1/4″ x 5 1/2″ piece (maybe 2
is the die cut is larger)
Take the Basic White sheet of CS and burnish color into the paper using Blending Brushes. I used Pear Pizzazz and Orchid Oasis.
When the colors are in the pattern, depth and darkness and ratio you desire, spray with water out of a small spray bottle (you can use the Stampin’ Spritzers if desired – I had an old bottle full of water so I used that)
Allow to dry.
The color will lift and lighten in the spots where the water sits creating a beautiful pattern!

Once dry die cut 2 thanks and one large branch from the Gingko Branch bundle.
Run the Orchid Oasis cardstock front through the Painted Texture 3D embossing folder.
Cut the Thanks matte die at a diagonal through the card front of the Orchid Oasis that you just ran through the embossing folder.
Add a 4″ x 5 1/4″ piece of Basic White CS to the back of the card front.
Using the fine tip glue pen adhere the thanks die cut in the middle of the die cut matte opening.
I die cut from the same splattered colored paper the larger die from the Gingko Branch die set.
Adhere to the cardfront below the thanks!
Add rhinestones to the card – and done with #1

Since you have the die from the matte cut from the first card it is easy and productive to continue with the next card and use that extra piece. With the second die cut thanks word adhere to the Matte die cut from card #1’s card front. Adhere them together.
Adhere the DSP to the cardfront and then adhere the thanks to the upper middle right side of the card! Adhere rhinestones and attach some White glittered Organdy Ribbon.
