Stretch Your Dies

I'm kinda late to the game but I made these up for Online Card Classes.  Great classes that teach a lot of awesome techniques.  I would recommend them for anyone new to cardmaking for sure.   Here are my final ones, just skating in under the cutoff time.  Lots of fun details so they took me a while.  ;)

For Day 1 Word Dies
I used the background words technique on this one using  the Happy Trio die from WPlus9.

For  Day 4 Mini Dies 
I used a cute little arrow die from a tag set by Mama Elephant for this background.

For Day 5 Coordinating Dies
For this one I used that adorable little Unforgettables Elephant stamp and die set and for the background I used the My Favorite Things Cloud background die as a stencil.  I just embossed the clouds with white embossing powder and it gave an awesome shine and texture.  Then I did a resist technique by blending the blue ink over the white embossed clouds.  Worked great!

For Day 7 Alphabet Dies
I've been wanting to try this technique with the popped up word in the title.  I watercolored the background and thought it looked very dreamy so I pullled out a sentiment stamp set by Reverse Confetti and used little letters dies by My Favorite Things.  I used fun foam to pop up the word "color".  I absolutely love this technique!

Thank to Jennifer McGuire and Kristina Werner  and all the other awesome designers for coordinating such a great mix of ways to use our dies!
