Good morning, Alicia here today, getting geared up for school and fall sports. My son has played soccer since he was 3 so this card will be for him. Last month I purchased the some of the latest Karen Burniston die sets. I am so pleased with these sets. Of course with any new die, I cut all the pieces first on plain white card stock. This tip is especially helpful with a pop up die to familiarize oneself with the mechanism. It is really so awesome to have such a handy pop up in a die. I can't wait to create more fun cards with this set.
So this die set contains all the elements for a snowman, but it is basically just circles with a few snowman accessories. As soon as I saw it in person, I knew a soccer ball would work great in the pop up. Isn't so fun?
The set comes with plenty of circles for layering. I used a soccer ball shaker sticker in the center layer on a circle embossed like soccer netting and finally layered a stitched die of "grass" and one more black layer for pop!
The Die Versions Soccer border die is no longer available (it was one of my first purchases from Dies R Us). I do have some helpful tips that would work with any number of dies. This is only one die but I created a multilayered piece. I did this by cutting the die several times in different papers. No need to waste paper, when I only need the cones, I placed a small piece of orange paper just large enough to cut out the cones. Same with the tiny sliver of "reflective" tape, with these tiny pieces I put them in place and used a tape runner on the back side to hold the slivers in place. Once I was done piecing the cuts back together, I popped up the cones and ball on pop dots for extra dimension.
