Making cards often follows a predictable pattern. Stamps, color, punches, and die cuts are the tools of choice – not that there’s anything wrong with that! There’s a set of dies that are in the annual catalog called “Iconic Dies.” They seem to be orphans since there’s no particular stamp set that coordinates with them. With that in mind, for my Facebook Live video this week I’ve used the Iconic Dies to create three different cards to show you the versatility of this set even when used all by itself. There are a variety of dies in the set so each card has a totally different look to it.
For the “Mushroom” card, you will need the following cardstock:
- Card Base: Crushed Curry – 8 1/2″ x 5 1/2″, score at 4 1/4″
- First Layer: Cajun Craze – 5 3/8″ x 4 1/8″, cut two
- Second Layer: Very Vanilla – 5 1/4″ x 4″, cut two
- Die Cut Pieces: Scraps of Very Vanilla, Pumpkin Pie, Garden Green, Daffodil Delight, and Copper Foil
For the “Bird” card, you will need the following cardstock:
- Card Base: Cinnamon Cider – 8 1/2″ x 5 1/2″, score at 4 1/4″
- First Layer: Pale Papaya – 5 3/8″ x 4 1/8″, cut two
- Second Layer (Inside): Basic White – 5 1/4″ x 4″
- Die Cut Pieces: Scraps of Cinnamon Cider, Crumb Cake, Polished Pink, and Basic White
For the card with the “Flowers,” you will need the following:
- Card Base: Garden Green – 8 1/2″ x 5 1/2″, score at 4 1/4″
- First layer: Crumb Cake – 5 3/8″ x 4 1/8″, cut two
- Second Layer (Inside): Basic White – 5 1/4″ x 4″
