eyelet blooms die card

Today’s blog post is all about the great new Product of the month (April POM – Eyelet Blooms Die #167984) it came out the first week of April and I have been meaning to have a play with it and take some photos, design some cards but this month has been a little crazy and it just got away from me – so here it is the end of the month but they are still available as well as the stamp set from last month March POM – Notes of Spring (#167979) and the popular Februray POM – Painted Illustrations DSP #167977)

I have several samples using a retired DSP called Fancy Flora.

Measurements:
BASE: Petal Pink CS: 5 1/2″ x 8 1/2″
scored at 4 1/4″, scrap for sentiment matte
die
Basic White CS: 4″ x 5 1/4″
DSP: 4″ x 5 1/4″, scrap for sentiment die

TIP: This eyelet die is EXTREMELY detailed and if you run it through the Stampin’ Cut and Emboss machine with the #1 BASE plate, #2 thin-die adapter, and inbetween (2) #3 cutting plates – it cuts the design but does not grab most of the little dot cut outs BUT if you run it through the machine a second time with our NEW Impressions Plate it helps take out more of those pesky little pieces!

The New Impressions Plate will be available on May 5th (#167767) and will retail for $11! Wait until you see the things it can do and this is one more!

For the first card sample I cut the Eyelet Blooms die cardstock in half 2″ x 5 1/2″.

I wrapped some Petal Pink ribbon around the eyelet layer and secured with Scotch tape.

I adhered the DSP to the card front leaving an even border and adhered the eyelet ribbon layer to the center.
I die cut two smaller consecutive Party Banner dies – the larger of the two in Petal Pink CS scrap and the smaller of the two in DSP. I chose a less busy portion of the remaining 2″ piece to stamp upon.
I stamped a sentiment from the upcoming Sending Salutations – a great new sentiments set in the new catalog in Blueberry Bushel ink.
Adhere the DSP to the Petal Pink matte and pop up on Stampin’ Dimensionals above the ribbon on the card front.
I added some Petal Pink embellishments and the card is complete! Easy and so sweet with the eyelet!
I did a similar card with the reverse pattern from the Fancy Flora paper but tied the ribbon around the entire card front and then attached the sentiment piece.
For the next two cards I used the whole eyelet die piece over the DSP – this gives a subtle color background to the tiny openings in the eyelet – the first card has the more solid blue paint pattern and the second has the multi-colored paint pattern underneath the eyelets.
Remember if you spend $75 before coupons and tax and shipping you can have the Eyelet Blooms Die or February or March’s Product of the month bonuses for ONLY $5!

Also any of the NEW catalog products will not appear below in the photo links because they are not yet available to order for customers!

Now go and create some artwork of your very own – it is a rainy day here and a perfect day for creation – one stamp at a time!
