SUOC 257 - Peace and Joy using Die cutting

 Hello everyone it's time again for another SUO challenge and this time the challenge was to use Die cutting and/or punches. I've chosen to use die cutting as my choice of what to use, and the bundle that I've used today 'Peace and Joy' is a beautiful set and it's so easy to acheive wonderful cards/projects with it so let's start with the card I've made for you today.

I've made a shaker card using the cut out of the word Bright as the window shaker piece. Hope you enjoy the project.

Materials needed:

Whisper white thick cardstock

1pc - 5 1/2" x 11" scored on longside at 5 1/2" this is your card base

1 scrap piece to stamp and cut out your 3 word sentiments for front of card

1pc - 5 5/16" x 5 5/16" for the inside of your card layer

1pc - approx 3" x 5" to glue on the back of the shaker part

Scrap piece to stamp and cut out holly leaves

Whisper white cardstock

1pc - 5 1/4" x 5 1/4" for glueing onto reverse side of your DSP

Pear Pizzaz cardstock

1pc - approx 1 1/2" x 4" for the die cut shadow word 'Bright'

Real red cardstock

Scrap piece to stamp and cut out holly berries

Window sheets

1pc - approx 2 1/2" x 4 1/2" for the window shaker 

Real red sheer ribbon

1pc - approx  20" for the ribbon and wrap around on the front of card

Wonderful gems

3 - for the front of the card

Foam adhesive sheets

6pc - 1/2" wide by the length as it comes

Card recipe:

1. Cut, score and burnish your card base

2. Cut all the layers for the front and inside of your card. Glue the whisper white layer to the revese of your DSP piece, leave this to dry. Glue the 2 mossy meadow pieces to the outside and inside of your card. Stamp 3 starburst images using real red stampin' pad, into one corner of your whisper white piece thats for the inside of card and then glue it into place.

3. Die cut your shadow die word onto the front of your DSP/card piece as in picture below.

4. Now glue your piece of the window sheet to the reverse of the apperture as below. Attach your ribbon around your card now, leaving enough ribbon to tie a bow onto the front of the ribbon later on.

5. Now place your adhesive sheet strips onto this piece of card as shown below.

6. Place some of your snowflake sequins into the middle of the window, and now peel the backings off of just the pieces of foam adhesive that are around the window including the 2 long top and bottom pieces, now you can carefully place the piece of mossy meadow cardstock on top of the sticky foam pieces, incapsulating all of the snowflakes within.

7. Now peel the backing off of the rest of the foam adhesives strips and place wet glue on to the piece of mossy meadow cardstock and then glue this into place on the front of your card. Now die cut your 2 'Bright' pieces from the mossy meadow and pear pizzaz pieces of cardstock and carefully apply wet glue to the reverse side of the thinner one and glue the two together. These are glued onto your window piece of your shaker using small pieces of dimensionals.

(I've used different colours for these but you can see what you need cut out)

8. Tie a bow attaching it to the front of your card using glue dots to keep in place.

9. Using the same colour stampin' pads as the cardstock stamp and fussy cut all of your holly leaves and berries. Glue into place.

10. Stamp your 3 words in real red and then fussy cut them out and glue into place . Glue 3 x gems into place and that's your card finished.
