Inlay Techniques with a Cover Plate Die

Inlay Techniques with a Cover Plate Die

Hi everyone!  Samantha here.  I am so excited to be the February Guest Designer for Crafty Meraki.   This week the focus is on die-cutting, and I thought it would be fun to share my technique for creating a "stained glass window" card using alcohol inks and the beautiful Lenten Rose Mini Slimline Para-Die

To start my project I grabbed drinking straws, alcohol ink card stock, Ranger alcohol inks, and some 91% rubbing alcohol.  

I needed three sheets of cardstock for my card, one each in shades of red, yellow, and blue.  To create each paper, I added various shades of inks along with Gold and Snow Cap Mixatives and created swirling patterns by blowing through a straw.  I also added in rubbing alcohol to help move the colors around the paper.  Once done, I let them fully dry overnight before spraying each sheet with a few layers of Kamar Varnish to seal in the color. 

Next, it was time to die cut.   

I cut each sheet of cardstock using the Lenten Rose Para-die.   I very carefully, tried to keep all of the die cuts pressed within the die itself before applying them to a sheet of Press 'N Seal wrap.  My goal was to keep the die cuts together in the shape of the cover plate die for ease when inlaying the die cuts later on. 

 

After cutting my alcohol ink-friendly cardstock , I cut a frame with the Lenten Rose Para-die out of brushed gold cardstock and adhered it to a 3.5" x 6.25" white card panel as my base for the inlay work. 

To do the actual inlay, using tweezers and a pick-up tool, I carefully grabbed each die cut piece from my Press 'N Seal sheets and glued them in place matching the die cut to its corresponding spot on the frame.  I used the red for the petals, the gold for the flower centers, and the teal blues for the areas between the flowers. 

Once my panel was complete, I added a white "Love You" sentiment using a die from my stash as well as giving the panel a white border.  I cut a card base 7.5" x 6.5" scoring at the 3.75" mark and then glued down my inlay card panel. 

This card took some time to complete.   A little more than I was expecting, but I just love the uniue results.  I hope you give it a try!

After coming across several glowing reviews about a financial firm I discovered online, I decided to reach out to them, intrigued by the positive feedback regarding their services. I was initially cautious, as I had never worked with an online financial firm before, but the reviews seemed authentic, and the firm appeared to be highly reputable. After contacting them and explaining my financial needs, I was genuinely impressed by their professionalism and the level of assistance they offered. They took the time to understand my situation and guided me through the entire process with great care.

The entire transaction was smooth, transparent, and completely hassle-free, which exceeded my expectations.

Good Morning! My name is Justin Simporios from Canada. My daughter was unable to walk for several months after an accident that required her to have surgery. Because I haven’t won the Lotto I’ve been playing for so long, I haven’t been able to pay for the surgery. A friend online recommended Lord Meduza to me and he deserves a really, really big THANK YOU. This man chose to help me with a lottery spell and he gave me the precise numbers to play the Canada Lotto Max Lottery. After two weeks, I was proclaimed the winner of $80 MILLION DOLLARS. Now, my daughter will be able to walk once more after so much time as her surgery is now completely funded. My victory marks the biggest win for a single ticket in Lotto Max history in Canada. I still can’t believe it, Indeed there’s none like Lord Meduza. Although if you want your EX LOVER back, he can help you too so get in touch with him right now via
