As promised a couple of days ago, I have rescued the bits and pieces that I had left sitting on the Cricut transfer sheet collecting dust and used them to make this card.
Cut the yellow card to 5¾" square and die cut the Birds Roosting die. This time I was extremely wasteful and discarded the negative bits!
Mat and layer on to white and black card leaving a border size of your own choice. Take the negative bits from the transfer sheet and paper piece into the appropriate gaps in the yellow frame.
To finish, I stamped a sentiment and mat and layered using scraps from the main card and mounted it on to a square card base.
Thanks for stopping by

Hello Crafty Friends,
I have recently added some rather lovely 'Fresh Cut Dies' to my stash. These have been designed and produced by Claritystamp
It has been really good fun to play with sticky stuff and gilding flakes once again, as they have been lurking in the back of my crafty cupboard for ages!
The first card I shared in 2018 gave a pretty detailed step by step of the same process I used here, so I will just share a few pictures and words on how this one has been made.
Step 1: Cut the Birds Roosting Aperture die in a piece of 5¾" square black card.
Step 2: Keep all the die cut pieces in place and remove the die. Press the reverse cut side onto a square of Cricut Transfer sheet and lightly burnish with a ball tool to make sure all the die cut elements are in contact with the transfer sheet.
Step 3: Remove the square die cut frame, leaving all the loose bits (the negative of the die cut) on the transfer paper. These bits will make another card later.
Step 4: Cut a piece of scrap card 4½" square and cover it with double sided adhesive sheet. Remove the protective carrier paper and cover the sticky surface with gilding flakes. Burnish well so that all the flakes are in contact with the sticky sheet and brush away any remaining dust.
Step 5: Affix the black die cut frame over the gilding flakes background. Mat and layer on to an A5 card blank. Add a sentiment and embellishment to complete the card.
I will be back in a couple of days to show how I used the negative bits that are still sitting on the transfer sheet!
Thank you for joining me today.
Bye for now

Good Morning,
It has been a busy time for me and my hubby so crafting has had to take a back seat for a while. With our house move temporarily on hold, I am taking advantage of some free time to catch up with my blog and I hope to visit my bloggy friends very soon!
With an eye on the number of cards I need to make for Christmas, it is time I made a start.
Now, when it comes to shopping for stitched dies and stitching on stamps then I am your woman! Lisa Horton was certainly on to a good thing when she designed her stitched range of stamps - because I must have them all! Thanks Lisa!
I created the background piece using the A5 Embroidered Backgrounds stamp set from Inkydoodles. First stamping in green with one of the larger stamps and then infilling with red using one of the wee ones.
Maintaining the stitched theme (naturally), I have used Lisa Horton's A5 Festive Friends clear stamps for the main elements. A bit of masking, a fussy cut tree, some colouring and mat and layer to finish. Job done!
So that it is for now - thank you for taking the time to visit me today.
