Special Day Vase: Unexpected Use of Dies

Hello, again! I love to come up with unusual ways to use dies and wanted to do that with Spellbinders’ Essential Envelope Every Day Add-Ons Dies.

To create that funky vase, I used the tab insert die from the Essential Envelope Every Day Add-Ons Dies. I diecut mint cardstock with the die and used the partial diecutting technique to achieve the desired height for my vase. I added coordinating ink to the sides of the vase to give it some dimension.

Those beautiful blooms are also from the Essential Envelope Every Day Add-Ons Dies. I diecut the bloom elements from two shades of pink cardstock, added coordinating ink to the petals, and assembled them with thin 3D foam squares. The leaves are from the same die set, as well, and I used lime cardstock and blue-green ink for them. The stems for the blooms are from the Layered Wildflowers Dies.

For my background I embossed ivory cardstock with the Tufted 3D Embossing Folder. I adhered the vase with thin 3D foam squares and glued the stems before popping up the blooms and tucking in the foliage. I added gold glitter dots to the centers of the flowers.

My sentiment is from the A Little Message Sentiments Press Plate set. I foiled it with Gold Glimmer Foil and diecut it with the Notched Corner Frames Dies. I diecut gold cardstock with the same dies, layered it behind my sentiment, and glued it to my vase.

Thanks for stopping by!
