The April 2013 Release sees the launch of the BRAND NEW Uniko Studio Designer Dies! The first set of dies to be launched coordinate perfectly with the previously released BRIGHT Butterflies clear stamp set.
This might not be NEW news to you as they've been in use on the blog here for a week or so now! Today they get a little introductory spotlight not only by me but by some of the Uniko Studio Design Team & also by April's Guest Designer... Taheerah!
Both my cards today use the 'negative' die cutting technique which is trending at the moment in paper crafts...
For this first little 10.5 cm square card I emphasised the negative space by adhering some patterned paper to the base card & adhering the die cut mat layer with foam adhesive.
My next card switches the negative die cut with patterned paper around...
Making cards using the negative die cutting technique creates left over die cuts to use on future projects so there is no waste. If your anything like me no paper crafting scraps are thrown out and so the little layered butterfly was created! This little butterfly has already been assigned to a project so you'll be seeing her again soon!
This technique of negative die cutting makes creating a CAS card quick & easy with only a few supplies required. Perfect for Clean & Simple challenges like the one HERE at Addicted to Stamps & More! All the supplies I've used today are listed below.
That's all from me today using the NEW Designer Dies, now it's time to see some amazing creations some of the design team have created & Taheerah our April Guest Designer...
