Slatted Dies- To Eclipse or Not?


Have you seen the new slatted dies out of the UK? They are perfect for eclipse cards but for so much more than that too. I played and designed a bunch of cards for my newest video here. I layered three sizes of the Slatted Stars for this CAS card using cardstock and colors from a Club Scrap kit I own. 


The Slatted Hearts die set from Craft Addictions UK has both vertical and horizontal options so I layered the two before attaching to a card created with a Pinpoint Burst Plate from Memory Box and gold Stardream Metallic Cardstock from CutCardStock. 

But as I show in the new video, my favorite way to use these slatted dies is still with the eclipse technique. I made two cards in the video and one was a triple butterfly easel eclipse card shown here:


Isn't that pretty? And not hard to make as I show here in the video. The copper cardstock is a new favorite from CutCardStock called Stardream Metallic.

I also tried an eclipsed shaker card and it was a success. However the sand and tiny stars that shake do not show up real well in a still photo so you might want to watch the video to see how easy and fun this card was to make:


I will share more cards from the video later in the week here on my blog.
