I have been fascinated by the eclipse look where the pattern flows from the back to the front of a raised image or letters for years. With the new slatted dies in so many shapes and sizes, eclipse can be done in more unique and beautiful ways as I show in my new video here.
I recently discovered many new shapes and sizes of slatted dies from Craft Addiction UK and share many cards made with them in my video. I made the card above step by step in the video sharing 3 different ways to raised the objects for the eclipsed look. All three are easy to do with no need to try to cut strips to raise the slats. Here is another card I made with the Slatted Butterflies Die Set, a cute Tag Collection die also from Craft Addiction UK and different patterned paper:
There are many shapes and sizes in the Slatted Die Collection and I found mine at the North American Distributor for Craft Addiction UK which is Clipper Street.com out of Canada. The prices of these dies are so reasonable as are their shipping costs, and I got my dies in just days after they were shipped.
As I show in the video, all you need to created similar cards to these is two piece of identical patterned paper and the slatted dies. This time I used the Slatted Star shape. Each die set has many different sizes to choose from and each one has 3 dies - the outside die ,the stitched outline and the slatted piece. You can choose to use 1,2 or 3 of the dies. There are so many ways to use them, I barely scratched the surface. I will be playing and sharing more soon. The sentiment on this card is from Karen Burniston.
Be sure to check back here later in the week when I share many more cards I made with more shapes from the Slatted Die Collection from Craft Addiction UK.
Cardmaking Joy & Hugs, Karen
