I have a couple more projects to share with you today using two more of the new release dies over at Top Dog Dies.
First up is the Top Dog Dies Party Drinks Die. Love this die and all of it's possibilities to make fun summer fruity drinks!
I die cut my drink glasses and the actual drinks from vellum. I coloured the backs of the drinks with Copic markers, which you may have seen Lee Ann Barrett do with her Top Dog Dies drink card last week. I realized when I went to adhere the drinks to the card base that with I don't have vellum adhesive, how am I going to adhere them to the card? I used my Xyron to add adhesive to the backs of the drink glasses and drinks. You have to be careful when you have something super sticky, so there were some gymnastics putting the straws into the he glasses just right. I added the salt to the rim of the margarita glass after I had adhered it and the lime was added last.

My second card uses the new Dog Days of Summer #1 dies.
I created a sympathy card for a dog owner who has lost their pet. It is a more serious take on dies that are so very cute and fun but I find that a pet sympathy card has it's place.
I stamped a fence on the white panel, die cut the dog in dark chocolate, the hydrant in yellow and used the tiny dog banner for the sympathy sentiment.
Fire hydrants are yellow in Canada, what colour are they where you are?
Head over to the Top Dog Dies shop today to see the six new dies released this month.
Oh...I'm coming to your house for drinks! Two adorable cards.

ReplyDeleteThese are both so cute. Love the festive drinks party, and that dog sympathy card is really sweet--sure to cheer some unfortunate person up.
ReplyDeleteLooks like those 'crafting gymastics' paid off in a big way, because that first card is eye-catching amazing! Salt on the rim = seriously clever, my friend! Your second card: so thoughtful and heart-warming! Yes, acknowledging the loss of the four-legged family members IS important. A most touching card; one that will be treasured!
