Make It Monday/ Less is More



Make It Monday #138: Inlaid Die-cuts
by Betsy Veldman

Week 143 Recipe
Use string or twine.
Thanks for the heads up Ardyth!


Good morning! Hope you had a great weekend. We had two of our granddaughters for the weekend. They are just too much fun. They didn’t want to go home. They asked their parents if they could live here. I think is safe to say they had a great time as well. 

I had these snowshoes completed and siting on my desk and today they found a home on this card.  This weeks make it monday we were asked to inlay dies. I love inlaying dies. Theses also have a back on them and were kinda thick , this was the perfect solution. 

Everything is from papertrey Ink 
Two Feet Deep Stamp Set and dies!
 but the :Cuttlebug embossing folder

 I was going to post the three cards I made but decided to do the other two in a bit, one didn't make its deadline. 
Thanks !

    Your cards are always so beautiful. I was going to get this set and then didn't. May have to re-think that.

    Holy Yeti, Marybeth, you really did get up at dark o'clock and get creative! I thought these snowshoes were a store-bought embellishment! My mouth is hanging open that you MADE them! You HAVE to link this card with the Less Is More challenge. It is such a winning card in every way!! Hugs, Darnell

    Wow! We are all so fortunate you had these snow shoes just waiting for a card. What a delightful card. I almost didn't make one this morning, but the challenge was too good to pass up. The lace on those shoes is super.

    Oh, I will be making one of these for sure! Those snow shoes look so incredibly realistic (at least I think so, I live in San Diego, so I have never really seen them in real life).

    It hasn't snowed yet over here in the Netherlands!
    Love your card, and the little branch with berries is such a cute finishing touch.
    Great technique and the sentiment is FAB, love it.
    Bye,

    The best use of this technique. What could be better than snow shoes sunk ever-so lightly into the snow?! And ,of course, it's beautiful.

    Wow. A work of art. Love how it looks like someone just stepped out of the snowshoes. Do you have a name for that embossing folder. I love the randomness of the dots.

    This is gorgeous! I love the snowshoes! The extra work that you did with the floss sure makes it pop. I did not get this one and maybe I should have.

    Like an earlier poster, I'd love to know which embossing folder this is. Can't seem to find it on the cuttlebug sources I've checked. Hope you win the challenge. You'd have my vote!!

    Peege I cannot find this folder anymore either , I tried to look for it! The only thing that came close was one by Sizzix called Falling Snow and I think it comes in a two pack. Hope that helps!

  37. PeegeOctober 30, 2013 at 1:29 PM

    Thanks Marybeth. I'll look into the one from Sizzix. Too bad cuttlebug discontinued. It's perfect for snow and as a Minnesotan I would know!

    Also found an embossing folder from Darcie called animal tracks that might work.
