DT: Kingston Crafts – card bases

Today’s design team project I am sharing is using those amazing card bases from Kingston Crafts – and this time I went full on die cutting for my card!

I chose the wedding bells pattern card and die cut the card into a shaped card using a spellbinders die.

This gave the card a special feel as it is a lovely unusual shape.

I then kept it really simple with die cutting the gold foiled cardstock that is in the rainbow foiled cardstock kit for the letters and glueing them in place directly on the front.

I had also made another shaped card from the same card base but smaller for another purpose so had some leftover which meant I could fussy cut three bells out and raise them up.

I also added the gems to the front as a little extra embellishment – such a simple card but it looks special with the unusual shape.

The other card I made – not a design team sample was this one – so thought I would share this at the same time.

This time I used a large circle to die cutting the card base into a circle card.

I then die cutting vellum and the gold to create the central topper and fussy cut some more bells to add to the front from the leftovers.

This time I used a foiled sentiment as it is a much smaller card.

Again I added the gems to finish off.

So both cute shaped cards – I think a lovely way to mix it up and use the card blanks a little differently!

Happy crafting!
