Card Making Project - Enchanted Die Cut  Card
Made by Irene


Create an impact with just card and a die cutting machine that's really quick and simply to make.  It's economical too as it uses just card, a few 3mm pearls and a ready made ribbon bow. The die used to create the card front  is the  Enchanted die from the Create a Card range by Die-sire

You need a die cutting machine to make this card.

To make this card you will need:

198mm x 198mm Creased White Card Blank
A4 Stardream Onyx Card x 2
A4 Stardream Lagoon Card
A4 Silver Mirror Card
Large Ribbon Bows  - Docrafts Capsule Collection - Eau de Nil
3mm Self Adhesive Pearls
Die Cutting Machine such as the XCut Xpress, Cuttlebug or Big Shot
Die'sire Create a Card Die - Enchanted
Double Sided Fingerlift Tape or Photo Glue
3D Foam Pads 3mm Thick
Mini Glue Dots
Rotary Trimmer or Craft Knife, Cutting Mat and ruler.

Cut the first A4 sheet of Stardream Onyx card to 198 x 198mm and glue to the front of the card blank using double sided tape or photo glue.

From the A4 sheets of Stardream Lagoon and Silver Mirror card, cut the first piece of Stardream Lagoon card to measure 134mm x 134 and the first piece of silver Mirror card to measure 140mm x 140mm.  Mount the Stardream Lagoon card onto the Mirror card using double sided tape so that there is an even border on all sides.  Using double sided tape mount this onto the front of the card in a diamond shape.

Trim the second piece of Stardream Lagoon card to 150mm x 150mm and the second piece of Silver Mirror card to measure 156mm x 156mm.  From the second A4 sheet of Stardream Onyx card cut a piece to measure 150mm x 150mm.

Using the Enchanted Card Creator die, run the piece of Stardream Lagoon card through your die cutting machine once to cut then run through a second time to emboss, changing plates or increasing the number on the dial depending on which machine you have. Put the die cut and embossed lagoon centrepiece to one side.

Line up and attach the Stardream lagoon card to the Stardream onyx card using either photo glue or double sided tape.  If using photo glue, leave to dry. Using double sided tape mount this onto the second piece of mirror card so that there is an even border on all sides. Glue the completed matted layers to the front of the card using double sided tape.

Take the lagoon centrepiece and fix it into place using 3D foam pads. Add the large ribbon bow to the centre using mini glue dots to fix it in place.

Finally, add the 3mm self adhesive pearls - one to each daisy with a cut out centre and one to the bottom left of the centre piece.
