I just got my new Slatted and Eclipse Dies from Divinity Designs this week and made all the cards I share in my new video with the 4 different shapes in just a day. As I show, it is so easy to make gorgeous eclipse cards with these dies, some skinny double sided foam strips and two pieces of identical paper. This card was made with Divinity Designs Watercolor Forests A2 Card Fronts and a circle Happy Birthday die from Creek Bank Creations. I turned the slats at an angle to make it even more interesting.
Any scenery paper will work as long as you have two identical pieces. You can make do with one but it is much more difficult and time consuming. I used Sealife Stained Glass paper and cutting dies from Paper Wishes Hot Off the Press on this card. I also cut the shadow of the word from the paper continuing the eclipse look on the sentiment.
I tried one more idea with my new Slatted and Eclipse square die. It is a Hide and Seek Card I learned about in a video here. In the video, Einat Kessler used a craft knife and ruler to cut her slats, but I decided to try using the new square slatted die to do it. Here is what happens when the heart at the top is pulled:
The heart turns from pink to red and back to pink. All the diecuts on the card are made with dies from Karen Burniston. I will admit figuring out this card took longer than all the other eclipse cards I made and shared in the new video, so I will not be making another. But it is a fun interactive card I will give to my hubby sometime. I will however be making many more slatted eclipse cards because they are to easy and gorgeous to make.
Cardmaking Joy & Hugs, Karen
