Stamping INKspirations March Blog Hop - Technique Challenge - Die Cutting

Nigezza Creates aka Gez, Independent Stampin' Up® Demonstrator 

Welcome to my blog, thank you for joining me today 😀

I am hopping with the Stamping Inkspirations blog hop today. It has been a wile since I joined in. The theme this month is a technique challenge and it is die cutting. I recently did a showcase of the Desert Delight suite at a team event and I made this card. It has many dies from the Desert Details die set. There is a leave in die that gives you some lovely holes that add a little something different to your project. A border die that I have used under the sentiment to add a nice accent. A die that forms a focal point in the spine of the book fold card. I have also inked the card stock while the die was still in place to create another point of interest on the card. I also added ink with a blending brush to pick out the detials in the embossing on the border die. 

I hope you like this project and will give it a try. To make sure you don't miss any of my projects why not subscribe to my YouTube channel and subscribe to my newsletter and click the button to follow my blog :-)
