CraftyMelinda.com: Terrific TuesDIES #5 Circle Shaped Easter Egg Card How To

Happy Terrific TuesDIE crafty friends!
Today is Terrific TuesDIE #5 and have I got a treat for you! First let me show you what I designed.

I created this fun circle shaped card using the scalloped stitched circle dies. I then featured the exclusive egg die from Cheapo Dies.

HOW TO MAKE THE CARD BASE

I started by cutting out two of the largest circle stitched scallop dies from plain white cardstock.
I then used my score board and scored a line about a half inch from the top of only one of the dies.

I used some glue and put some glue on the die with the score line. I only glued above the score line.
I lined up the scallops from the dies and then glued them together.

This is what the card base looks like opened up. This is the perfect alternative to creating shaped cards with dies. This way allows you to keep the shape of the die without losing a portion of it to create a “fold.” Now on to creating the top.

For the egg, I started by cutting out several eggs from white cardstock. I then cut one out in Blue and one in Fuchsia. After I cut them out, I stacked the white ones to give them some depth. I then adhered them to a piece of plain white cardstock. I then pieced the blue and Fuchsia pieces into the the white egg. I used some of my green Spectrum Noir Sparkle pen for the tiny green accents. After I finished all of that, I added one last white one to the top to give it all a clean look. I then used my Spectrum Noir plain sparkle pen to give the top layer some shimmer as well as the blue and Fuchsia cardstock. I finished off the centers of the flowers in the egg with some tiny sequins.

For the mats I simply cut out a circle from my green cardstock and then used the next size down scallop circle stitched die to cut out the pretty patterned paper. The paper is from the Doodlebug Bunnyville Paper Pad.

Here’s a closer look at the sweet little flower and fence die I used to add a nice border to the bottom of my piece.

Here is a closer look at my sentiment. I created it and printed it out and then shaped the little banner. I added a tiny button from my stash to finish it off.
