Hello! The little Ghost Trio die jumped to the top of my wishlist as soon as I saw it! You can cut felt with them, cut patterned paper, but I really wanted to make glittery ghosts.
I started by die cutting. I went ahead and cut Twiggy Tree at the same time. When I'm cutting detailed dies, I always add the Memory Box adaptor plate to help get all the detailed cuts.
Now that I have a stack of ghosts, I want to add the glitter. I'm going to use one of my favorite methods for this, which is the Xyron. It's a little machine that turns your die cuts into stickers. The adhesive is perfect for glitter. It provides a strong hold, doesn't warp your paper, and has no dry time.
Drop your items in the top of the machine and then manually pull paper out below.
Peel back the cellophane and you're left with a sheet of stickers! Peel them off and cover them in glitter.
Now I'm ready to add them to my designs. First, I chose to combine them with some Dots and Stripes patterned paper. I like non-traditional color schemes, so I went with light blue.
I used Ellen's new linen-textured cardstock for my card base. It adds a wonderful texture to your card, and is still subtle enough to capture the detail on your stamps, as you can see on the sentiment below:
Lastly, I combined the Ghosts Trio die with Twiggy Tree for a spooky scene.
I embossed the sentiment in white and added small strips of patterned paper.
Thank you for stopping by today!
