VIDEO | MFT & Friends - Creating A Scene With Die Cuts

Hello there, I am delighted to be joining My Favorite Things for their MFT & Friends feature today. We are sharing inspiration using the June 2019 release. You can see the other designers that are participating today, here.


For my card today, I am using the new Puppy Love Die-namics along with the Cute Cloud Outlines Die-namics, which is the free with $60 set this month.
 
 
I started off my card by creating the puppy. I die cut the Puppy Love Die-namics from Desert Storm cardstock, as well as a few elements from Whip Cream and Black Licorice cardstock. I wanted to add some interest to the die cuts, so I blended on Distress Ink to help them appear not so flat. I used Vintage Photo and Gathered Twigs on to the Desert Storm pieces, as well as the residual ink from the blending brush on to the cream cardstock. For the paw prints and belly, I used Spun Sugar.
 

I then started to assemble the puppy. What I love is that you can assemble the puppy in any which way you like, you can add all the layers or leave some off, you can use whichever colours you like and have the arms and ears placed in different ways. I first added the pieces to the head with On Point Precision Glue and I used tweezers and a jewel picker to help with placement. I adhered the pieces to the body and hands but did not attach these together just yet.
 
 
I set the puppy aside while I worked on the background. I took a 4" x 5.125" white card base and blended a light layer of Tumbled Glass and Broken China Distress Inks to the front. I then placed the Cloud Stencil on top and blended on more ink for some interest. I took the Grassy Fields De-namics and cut two strips of Limelight Cardstock one slightly higher then the other. I then blended on Mowed Lawn Distress Ink before adding to the card with tape runner.
 
 
I added the puppy's body between the grass strips with tape runner and then added on the arms. Before adhering the head, I die cut three clouds from the Cute Clouds Outlines Die-namics and added these to the card with more On Point Precision Glue. I then took the sentiment from the Birdie Brown Greetings Galore Stamp Set and stamped this with Versamark Ink on to Black Licorice Cardstock. I applied white embossing powder and heat set. This was cut in to a strip and added to the card with foam tape.
 
 
I added the puppy's head so that it was hanging of the edge of the card base (hence why the card base is 4" to accommodate it) with foam, tape. To finish off, I added white gel pen highlights on the puppy and Crystal Glaze to the puppy's eyes and nose.
