Welcome to
Welcome to A Year of Card Techniques Blog Hop where each month we feature a different card technique. We’ve assembled a team of card makers who range from new to advanced, so you’ll see a great variety of cards and ideas.
Die Cuts are certainly popular in the crafting world and there are so many from which to choose. But they can be expensive, so we’re looking at additional ways in which we can use them; specifically, inlaid and lifted die cuts. Hopefully, we’ll inspire you to try an idea or two that we’ve shared with you.
If you would like to check out our past technique hops, you can do that here:

So here is the project I did for the hop. I have never actually done this before. I was kinda shocked because it gives such an extra Mwah to the card, kwim?
Anywho, pulling out the Cricut, I made duplicates of the die cuts along with cutting out the box card. So this really was a simple project. Once the machine did all the work cutting, all I had to do was glue and stickle! So here are a couple of pics...
Hope you like it! Can't wait til next month!
Now you’re off to visit with Jodie. Hope you had fun and thanks for stopping by. See you next month with another fabulous technique!
Here’s the full line-up in case you get lost:
Wow! So clever! Thanks for sharing your talents!
ReplyDeleteYeah, clever idea. I never have seen one like this, what do you call this card? You always have a surprise for us :-) Thank you Sandy for sharing and for hopping along with us.
ReplyDeleteThe frame is such a good idea, and then using the leftover piece too, and making the pieces go together like that. REALLY nice - thanks!
ReplyDeleteHoly cow, is that cool. I'm not sure I've seen anything quite like that before. It all just goes together. Fabulous! I may have to try that out sometime.
ReplyDeleteGreat cards! I'll have to try out your technique.
ReplyDeleteLove these. Very clever. Thanks for hopping.
