Use a Punch or Die Cuts at Ruby's Rainbow Challenge

Our theme for the fortnight is to use one of your fun punches or die cuts in creating your card.  Please come and play along with us at Ruby’s Rainbow Challenge.

I had a need for a birthday card last week and decided to go with the quick and easy Sizzix Card set, Regal Stand-Ups which I added the Regal Labels to the front layers.  I choose a fun paper from the GCD Studio Special Delivery and die cut the card and the layers from both sides A and B.  I added in a blue, yellow, and white card stock from my stash for contrasting layers of the label and the “happy birthday” sentiment.  The stamp sentiment is by Studio G and is stamped in Tsukineko Versa Magic Turquoise Gem.

To finish the front I tied a double-looped bow with my Bow-It-All v.2 along with back ties.  Before adhering the label layers I tied the ribbon in place.  The sentiment and blue layers are adhered with dimensional foam adhesive to help them pop.

The inside of the card is lined with white card stock so there is a place to write a personal greeting and to show off the border die cut and happy birthday sentiment.  I added a little bit of textured ribbon to the border die cut as well before adhering it to the card base. 

Sometimes using the die cut card is perfect and allows me to quickly create a very fun card in a short amount of time. 

Please come share your die cut or punched creations with us over a Ruby’s Rainbow Challenge!
