Geometric Die Cut Patterns + Video

Pretty Pink Posh: Geometric Die Cut PatternsHello, Pretty Pink Posh fans! This is Yana and I have a video tutorial to share today featuring one of my favorite dies from Pretty Pink Posh – Stitched Duo 2.

Pretty Pink Posh: Geometric Die Cut Patterns

I really love using dies to create unique die cut backgrounds and today I’m expanding the pattern of the Stitched Duo 2 die to create a diagonal stip on my card front.

To learn more, please watch my video tutorial below.

The trick to create a background like I have on my card is rather simple. All you need to do for perfect spacing is to die cut the first set of circles and than snap top row of circles of your die with the bottom row of the die cut circles (negatives) on your panel. From there you can expand the pattern however many times you like, you can expand it going just up or down or in all 4 ways to have an entire die cut background for a card.

To decorate my card I decided to use images from 2 sets – Holiday Pals (I used a little branch) and Birdie Friends (used a nest and a chick). I stamped several branches using a couple colors of yellow and green and also stamped 3 chicks and colored all using Copic Markers. All of them were die cut using matching dies.

I couldn’t resist using a few sequins to dress up my card and I went with 6 mm Strawberry Burst, 6 mm Sunshine Glow and of course several small clear droplets. All of those were adhered using Multi Medium adhesive in Matte.

Die cut backgrounds like these can also be die cut out of colored cardstock and mounted onto white card base. Here’s a close up of another card where the panel was die cut out of gray and foam mounted onto white:
