Gorgeous Grunge Love

I’m in love with the new Expressions Thinlits Dies in the Holiday Catalogue! It makes it so easy to cut out a greeting with the Big Shot. The set has three words so you can choose from ‘love’, ‘thankful’ or ‘merry’!

I’ve seen lots of tips where they suggest putting a sheet of wax paper between the die and the cardstock to make it easier to get out. I haven’t tried this but I have to say I didn’t find it too tricky to get out anyway. The dies all have little holes in them and if you gently poke through with a toothpick, a paper piercing tool or even the end of your paper snips it releases it enough for you to gently coax the diecut out. I think the trick is to be patient and not expect it to jump out on it’s own.

I can tell already that my set is going to be getting a good workout!

This card was made for his awesomeness for our recent 12th Wedding Anniversary. I wanted something bright and featuring blue, green and silver – our wedding colours. The greeting is from our new silver foil sheets – I cut several from the middle of the mat so that nothing was wasted!

To get the extra colour from the Gorgeous Grunge stamping I spritzed the stamp with water before stamping each colour once, then dried it all off and stamped the matching colour again over the top. It was just the look I was after.
