What you will need is:
- Whiff of Joy border die (I am using Heart Lace)
- A coloured Whiff of Joy image (I have Willow Dressing Up from the City Girls collection)
- A personal die cutting machine ( I have a Cuttlebug)
- Two strips of cardstock 1 inch (2.5 cm) wide and 12 inches long (30.5 cm)
- Some removable tape
- Craft glue
- Sharp scissors
Have a look at your die to ascertain which edge is the cutting edge
Align this with the top of your cardstock strip and use some tape to hold in place. Run this through your die cutting machine.
Remove your die and carefully line it up matching the pattern on the first cut, adhere in place,
If you like, you can check from the other side that your pattern is matching, then run this through your die cutting machine again
Once cut, remove the die and using your scissors, carefully cut a slit on the strip, close to the edge of the valley, but be careful not to cut right through the cardstock. Repeat this with the remaining strip.
Put some clean scratch paper down, and place your coloured image face down. Starting at the lower edge inthe centre, apply some glue, about 2 inches (5 cm) at a time
Attach your first scallop of your die cut lace, press in place to adhere. Carefully curve your strip around the oval, pressing the die cut strip to the oval for each scallop.
Apply more glue as you continue around your shape
It is likely that one strip will not be enough, as you can see I didn't quite have enough of my first strip to meet at the end. Take your second strip and measure how many extra scallops you require.
I only needed two, so I have the remaining piece of die cut strip to use else where on my card. Adhere the last two scallops to your oval
And this is what it looks like finished on the front. If the ends of your strips don't quite match up, this can be easily hidden with a flower or ribbon embellishment on your card
And this is what the reverse side of the image looks like:
And my finished card!
To complete my card I also used:
- General Sayings sentiment set
- Romantic Swirsl 2 die, and
- Heart Banner die
Enjoy the rest of your week,

Thanks so much for that Kylie. I had been thinking about trying this as I cannot get SMALL doilies anywhere. If I had tried it myself I wouldn't have thought to leave such a wide margin behing my edging and so I would probably have encountered 'breaking' problems as I shaped my edging around my circle. So a very big thanks for saving me time and frustration.
ReplyDeleteThanks for this great and clear tutorial!
ReplyDeleteThank you very much for a really fabulous tutorial. I have a few border dies but would never have thought of doing this, thanks again.
ReplyDeletethis is fabulous Kylie! thanks for the tutorial! i'll have to try this!
