How tweet it is! Stampin' Up!'s new On Board So Tweet ($14.95) includes six 9" x 9" chipboard die cut sheets with more than 80 images of retro birds, owls, pears, flowers and more (scroll down for photo). This card is for my nephew's new baby girl. However, think how versatile it could be for birthday, thank you, spring or even Easter creations.
This is the first time I have owned Stampin' Up! On Board die cuts. I was a little nervous about how easily I could cover them with Designer Paper. No worries.
TIPS:
- Cut a piece of Designer Paper larger than the chipboard object you are covering.
- Adhere, making sure the side you want exposed is showing.
- Using a Paper Snips, trim excess paper.
- Sanding tools soften and blend any rough edges.
- I discovered a Crop-A-Dile (the larger hole) pops out the eye perfectly.
TIP: You can use Stampin' Up!'s sanding blocks (103301) to blend the edges. However, I used sanding tools from BasicGrey, featuring nifty shapes to sneak into and sand crevices. Click Precision File Set ($6.99) for details.
This design is attributed to Splitcoast Sketch Challenge, SC213, and my demo downline challenge "Have a Heart." TIP: My favorite daily challenges are linked for your convenience on my left side bar.
What simplified the design was playing with the coordinated patterns from the Delicate Dots Designer Series Paper, an exclusive Sale-A-Bration product (one product free with every $50 in Stampin' Up! merchandise. Starts Feb. 1).
