Hi crafters,
Name a better spring icon than the umbrella. A dainty, beautiful parasol makes the perfect focal point for your spring cards. With these dies, you can recreate that vintage sophistication in your handmade cards and scrapbook layouts. Imagine a bouquet of paper umbrellas in pastel hues, matte foil cardstock and pretty patterns— evoking the romance of a springtime stroll through a blooming garden!
This set of 9 dies will add vintage charm to your paper projects, and the 3D Victorian Umbrella Dies are on sale this week! It's a great time to add this set to your craft room!
Come make today's lovely birthday card with us!
First we cut the shadow layer, umbrella die and detail die from various papers.
Next, we embossed a layer with one of the embossing folders. Use any from your craft room.
On the back of our umbrella, we added clear tape to make inlaying pieces easy. Create a more elaborate umbrella with contrasting pieces.
To assemble your card, add the embossed layer with foam adhesive and the umbrella's shadow layer on top.
Then the inlayed umbrella is placed on top.
The detail piece from the Basket Cardstock adds a pop of color to the umbrella.
Add a collage of flower stickers as shown.
Place another grouping of flower stickers in the umbrella.
A white rose goes in the top left of the collages.
A Birthday Wishes sticker from the Birthday Wishes Card Making Kit tops your amazing birthday card.
Who do you know with an upcoming birthday? This cheerful card is just the thing to wish someone a very happy birthday.
The umbrellas are the star of the show, but combine beautifully with all kinds of dies from your craft room. We love the way that pink and gold umbrellas look!
Make an elegant card for a special shower, wedding or anniversary.
You can never go wrong with pretty, pink details!
We love crafting beautiful things with you each week! Did you make today's project? Be sure to show us on our social media channels!
Tonight at 9:30pm EST, we have a special National Craft Month Facebook Live with HSN and Suzanne Runyan. Tune in for an hour of fun and creativity.
Bye for now,
Anna
