Blueberry Bushel Gingham Die Cut Inlay Technique

Each week some of the Art With Heart team are joining  the Colour Creations Blog Hop to bring you creative inspiration showcasing our range of 50+ gorgeous Stampin’ Up! colours.

Week 14 – Blueberry Bushel

Today I have chosen to focus on the Die Cut Inlay Technique, where you use a die such as the Gorgeous Garden dies, and cut it a few times from different card/DSP.  I have used Basic White for the main die, and glued it to a pieced of Blueberry Bushel card. Then I die cut the same die with the Glorious Gingham 6″ x 6″ Designer Series Paper. I took the petal pieces out and glued them into the white layer. Yes, it takes a little bit of time, but the effect is so beautiful and it makes it easier using the Take Your Pick Tool with the putty tip (or tweezers).

For the centres of the flowers, initially I was going to use a yellow tone cardstock, but then remembered I had some of the gold More Dazzle Specialty paper. I actually cut small squares of this and placed them on the back of the die where the centres of the flowers are, and carefully placed the top acrylic plate on and ran it through my die cutting machine. I mean you can’t waste that gorgeous dazzle, right?!!!

The sentiment from Charming Sentiments Stamp Set is inked in Versamark, White Emboss Powder added and melted using the Heat Tool. It is cut out using the coordinating Sentiments Silhouette dies. Some Gold 1/8″ Trim is placed behind and then Dimensionals so it pops up on the card. On the inside, I have a Basic White layer with some gingham dsp along the bottom edge.
