Slatted Rectangle Dies In So Many Ways


Slatted rectangle dies like those from Craft Addiction UK make quick easy eclipse cards but in my newest video here, I explore other ways to use them. I make this card step by step showing both a vertical and horizonal eclipse look and I also added birds, a sentiment and then a seahorse all cut out of the same scenery paper from 49 and Market.

I had so much fun playing with my new rectangle slatted dies for the video, I have too many cards to share in just one blogpost, so be sure to watch the video and then stop back later this week for more photos and details on each of them. 


The easiest way to create lovely cards with slatted dies is to start with two pieces of patterned scenery paper and cut one of them with the slatted rectangle die. Raise it on two more slatted rectangle pieces and attach with skinny foam adhesive strips so the pattern flows from the background into the slatted piece. I did that here with a pretty fall colored piece and added a sentiment strip created with a die from Altenew. 


This is a an easel card I made the same way with pretty beach patterned paper from 49 and Market. The sentiment dies are by Karen Burniston.

To see more cards with the Slatted Rectangle dies from CraftAddiction UK watch the video and stop back later in the week here on my blog.

Cardmaking Joy & Hugs, Karen
