The Card Kit Countdown at My Favorite Things starts right now! I am so excited to be here with my card for Day 1. The dies in this months card kit are soooo pretty! I love these stitched blooms.
I don't like to cut my dies apart. In fact, when I can, I leave them all in one piece. With the dies in this kit looking so pretty in one big piece, of course, I had to emboss with them!
I took an 80 lb piece of cardstoc, because when embossing with dies, the thinner cardstock you have, the better impression and less ripping will happen. I ran the whole thing through with the embossing sandwich and this is what came out. So pretty! I cut the front panel down and then added a little mat behind it. Using fun foam, I popped that up on a white card base. Next, I stamped and die cut 5 sentiments from More Essential Sentiment stamp set and the cut them in chunks so I could add one word in each color. I added a few dew drops to the front to finish off the card!
There will be lots more to see over at the MFT Blog. Head on over there to learn the details about the April Kit. Thanks so much for stopping in today!
