First of all you should know that I love all things woodgrain in my craft room, stamps, embossing folders, paper, dies..... all of it!!! So when this Slimline Woodgrain Die set was released from Scrappy Tails I was SUPER excited about it! I am currently obsessed with making slimline cards (cards sized 8-1/2" x 3-1/2"). And adding in this new die for my favorite sized cards made me very happy.
In today's video I am going to show you this die in action and 3 different ways to use it. I will also be using the all new Oopsy Daisy Stamp and die set from Scrappy Tails to complete these cards, another of their newly released products that I just had to have!
If you can not see the video up on this screen, you can also view it on my YouTube channel.
Now let's get a look at each of these cards and I will tell you what I did with each background.
For this first card I die cut the Slimline Woodgrain die from some pool colored card stock. Then I adhered that to the same color card stock for a tone on tone look.
I also splattered this panel with silks, mostly because splattering is my THING, but also for the added interest and dimension it gives.
I colored all of the Daisys and all of the bees in the Oopsy Daisy Stamp set for each of my 3 cards. I used Copic Markers and did some very simple coloring.
For the second background I used the Slimline Woodgrain die to do some embossing into a piece of watercolor paper. You will need a silicone mat to do this I have them linked for you below.
I just LOVE that I can get an embossed look with this die, making it a very versatile die to have in my collection.
For card number 3 I die cut the Slimline Woodgrain die from a darker card stock and mounted it on a light card stock for a two toned effect.
I think this look could almost be used as a water ripple look as well. I love all the bees in and around the flowers on this card.
To help these bees stand out even more against the backdrop of the Daisys I coated them with glaze.
I am sure by now you can tell that I LOVE this woodgrain die. I have even more ideas with it, so stayed tuned for that.
