Something Saturday - 3 Uses for the Beautiful Balloons Striped Die

 Hi there Creators, 

Oooo multiple uses for one die, excellent!  I'm wondering if some other clever people out there have thought of more uses for this die🤣

Here is the die..... Check out the whole bundle here: Beautiful Balloons Bundle there actually is an entire suite (which I wish I'd bought now!!) Beautiful Balloons Suite

 

Anyway my 3 ways are using the die as fringing, as in this card: kind of like one a flapper skirt, I've used the stunning Dry Brushed Metallic Paper to create this one, OH WOW it's blingy!😍  Have to admit once I'd made it I really didn't know how to add the saying, ended up choosing to heat emboss black on vellum so you can see through it a little, and attached it with a couple of the brads.

 

The other 2 ways are incorporated into the next card, the first being that you allow cardstock on both sides of the die, then thread ribbon in and out to create a dash effect (go the Morse code 🤣)  Then the other way is to cut the card in the same way as the first card, so it's open on one end, then roll it up and squish it down to create the flowers (the way you'd create quilled flowers)  Note a couple of new colours going on here... Copper Clay for the ribbon, and Wild Wheat for the leaves. 

 Ha just noticed my watermark is pretty close to Wild Wheat colour! 😁(not planned!)

 I was also thinking that it would make a great comb on a Men's cards (or hairdressers card)

Anyway if you missed the video here it is:

 

I hope this inspires you to create.

God Bless love
