Top Dog Dies Autumn Release

Hello Everyone! I am sharing some projects I have created using some of the brand new dies from Top Dog Dies!

 

 

This new release features some awesome Halloween images, as well as some great year-round dies too! In today’s cards, I will be featuring the Ghost,  Sugar Skull  and the Borders #2 die sets.

For my first card, I’ve used one of the Borders #2 dies and created a fun edge to my card panel. I love the angled effect, and the scallops give a nice elegant feel to the design.

 

 

The flowers are stamped using the Winnie and Walter Addie’s Garden stamp set, and I’ve colored them with Copic makers. Copics used: Y0000, Y11, Y18, Y38, YR23 for the yellow flowers;  YG11, YG03, YG09, G21, YG95, YG63, G94, G99 for the leaves; V000, RV52, RV34 for the pink flowers;  V25, V22, BV0000, BV04, BV02, BV31 for the purple flowers;  E37, E29 for the stems/branches;  G000, G0000 for the background; W1, W3, W5 for the shadows.

 

 

The sentiment is from the Ton Thanks a Bunch stamp set and the diagonal stripe is silver embossed using the Simon Says Stamp Diagonal Stripes cling stamp. For some finishing touches, I added sequins from the Sparkling Clear mix by Pretty Pink Posh.

My next card features the Sugar Skull die set; I will admit, I am not a skull-person, but I thought this would be fun to turn into a silly themed Halloween card.

 

 

I used a bunch of stamps from the Neat & Tangled Creepy Cute stamp collection, and created a colorful background for my skull; the images are colored with Copics. Colors used: Y02, Y15, YR12, YR07, C1, C3.

The skull is die cut from some watercolor paper that I applied texture paste to using a chevron stencil. Once the texture paste was dry, I  did some ink smooshing with Twisted Citron, Scattered Straw, Peacock Feathers and Dusty Concord distress inks.

 

 

The eyes are created by inlaying the negatives from the die cut (made with white cardstock), and I simply added some eyeballs using a black and white gel pen. Glossy Accents is applied overtop to create a shiny finish.  To finish the card off, I used sequins from both Neat & Tangled and Lucy’s Cards to add a bit more color and shine.

 

Finally, I used the cute little Ghost dies to create this fun shaker card; to see how I made this card, be sure to watch the video below!

 

 

I really love the new products in the September Top Dog Dies release! There are so many fun projects you can create using these dies, and I hope this post and video has provided you with some inspiration. Thanks so much for stopping by and we’ll see you again soon!
