A while ago I said that I would try to do a regular feature showing new cards made with older dies and so I thought I would start today. Therefore today's card is made to feature the older Weaving dies along with my new Autumns child stamp set.
I stared by cutting 2 each of the simple and the striped weaving dies by Sue Wilson for Creative Expressions. O spray glued the striped weaving die over the solid one and wove the 2 pieces together. This gives this amazing woven affect in 2 colours. There is a video on the Creative Expressions you tube channel with Sue Wilson doing this technique well worth view!
I stamped the September's child form my Autumns child clear stamp set in detail white embossing powder onto more of the french navy card and cut it out with the double pierced squares set A. I added thin layers of white and the blue and foam mounted this in the centre.
I made a set off frames using set A and B of the squares and added a trim of the stick on pearl strips in white and added a few more layers to the card to frame it.
Hopefully this will give us all the idea to pull out some of our older dies and try something different!
Enjoy...
Morning John, gorgeous card today x

Morning John, this is a fantastic card I have the weaving dies and have hardly used them this has gave me inspiration as I have a card to do for my son-in-law and this one would be perfect I think.

Morning John, oh brilliant, love this card and so pleased that you are reminding us of the older dies, I so enjoyed doing this technique when Sue first brought out the dies but the die was put in my folder and I had forgotten about it, well it will be out later I can assure you, also the colours you have used are gorgeous as is the sentiment, love it.

Wow! A very dramatic card, and that bright blue colour really emphasises that.
ReplyDeleteHi John, lovely card. It is great to see the older dies in use. I am sure we are all guilty of just using the latest die. We pay a lot of money for our dies. So I am going to make an effort to use older dies more often. Thanks John for the idea. Love Rosemarie X
ReplyDeleteGood morning John its lovely to see you using the older type dies and this weaving one is just gorgeous and the end result your card is stunning. hugs Shirleyx

Hi John. So nice to see the weaving dies making a re-appearance - I had forgotten I had these, perhaps I have got too many dies (can you have too many dies?). Lovely card today.

This is another beauty and the background goes perfectly with your new stamps.
