Four Card Set Using Positive and Negative Die Cuts with Kelly Latevola

Hello Crafters! 

It's almost Friday! 
Or is it? 
It's hard keeping the days straight right now. 

I have been spending quite a bit of my card making time trying to create encouraging cards for those wonderful people out there working still keeping our world turning. Consequently, I've been all about making multiples. 



My amazing teammate Daris recently put up this beautiful card using the negative of our Butterfly Beauties Die and it had me all kinds of inspired! I decided to take it one step further and use both the positive and negatives from my die cuts to create four cards. 


This card is the CASE of Daria's which started it all. I used the largest die from our Geometric set and turned it on it's side. Once I die cut it out I used it as a frame for the lovely Grateful Heart Stamps
I stamped several of the flowers on white cardstock to create my focal point. Try using a pencil to lightly trace the frame shape on your background to make sure all the pieces get filled it completely and you don't have any empty stamping spots. 



I used the positive piece to create an accent style focal point. I stamped the flowers all over the entire piece filling up the space. Once that was done I went back in with a dark gray and colored in all the spaces in between. This gives the piece more of a presence on the card. I used the die to create a frame on both cards by tracing around it with a black pen. The "frame" help finishes the card off. 



I love how both cards turned out. They are the same but different. Which one do you prefer? 


For my next card I used the largest die from our Circular set to die cut through the bottom ride of the card. I cut another circle in the next size down for my sentiment. I used that frame trick again but this time I added in some glitter paper to change the design up and of course add some sparkle! 


The last card can be done one of two ways. I actually used my positive as a mask to stamp my flowers around the circular shape but you could actually stamp them as usual and just pop your stamp up over top, no masking required. I opted for a black circle to make the focal point a bit more bold but any complimentary color would look great! 


 The purple one gets it's extra flair from the soft blue halo around it but I thin I'm a bit partial to the pink because of that glitter paper :) 


I think each one will be really happy in their new home showering a healthcare worker, grocery store employee, delivery truck driver with love. So many essential workers out there! 

You can see all the cards being made in the video below.
