weaving a die
This card is a great way to use those strip scraps that you always get from cutting down cardstock and either throw away or if you are like me save for a rainy day because it paper and you can always use paper right? LOL!
the 1/4″ strips that I have in abundance – well cut them in half to 1/8″ strips and weave them through the Dots and Spots die for a fun and different look!

Measurements:
BASE: Basic White CS – 4 1/4″ x 11″
scored at 5 1/2″
1/8″ strips at least 5 1/2″ long
Basic Black CS: Scraps for silhouette Meadows
Die cuts
Berry Burst: 4 1/4″ x 5 1/2″ die cut with the
Dots and Spots die
Using a bone folder bend the paper strips to break the paper fibers and increase the pliability so the strips will be easier to weave through the die.
I started weaving the second strip through the same side and then ripped it back out and decided to strat from the other side and alternate the weaving strips.
Finish the weaving and turn over to the backside and place a strip of adhesive down both sides to bend over the strip ends and fasten them down.
Adhere the weaving to the card front and decorate with the silhouette Black CS dies from the Meadows Die set.
I added a vellum circle die cut from the Stylish Shapes die set and stamped with a sentiment from the Wonderful thoughts stamp set in coordinating Berry Burst ink.
I added a die cut and embellishments to hide the adhesive to afix the vellum circle and this pretty weaved card is complete!
I love this look and hope you try this technique! Now go and create some art of your very own – one stamp at a time!
Happy Stampin’
