I have been wanting to use my new MFT die received a few weeks ago, but have been so short on time lately that it has been a challenge. Yesterday I finally had a bit of extra time and hurried into my craft room to use it wisely. This is one of the creations I came up with. Quite a simple card really as the die is what really shines here. After cutting it I layered it with foam strips onto the lighter lavender CS. Then using a scrap piece of the same CS I die cut the small hearts using a set by Memory Box called Stacked Hearts. I added some shimmer to the hearts and glued them. The I took a small stamp from a Divinity Designs set I purchased last year and stamped it. The card needed something so I decided to use the little bird stamp from a CTMH set and I stamped it as you can see. I stamped it again on some red CS and fussy cut just the body of the bird and popped it on top of the stamped one. I added a bit of shimmer to the wing and also to the letters of the word friend but the camera doesn’t pick it up at all. I thought about adding a bit of bling, but decided it was good enough to stand on its own by keeping it really simple.

It is beautiful. I love how the die makes the whole panel a focus and your red bird really makes it pop.

Thanks Golda. The card was a bit bland initially and I thought a pop of red would look good. I’m glad it worked.

Thanks Judy – Sometimes a card needs a pop of colour to make it work and the little bird provides that.

Love how you used the friend die cut here. The hearts and bird along with the simple stamped greeting look great with it. Really loving the red with the purples as well!
