Friday Die Day

Hello friends

This week's Friday Die Day features Chinese Coin.
This is one of the Destination China Collection dies designed by 
Lene Lok for Spellbinders.
It's a 3 piece die set and the approximate measurements are:

Die Template: 3.10 x 3.10 in. 7.80 x 7.80cm
Insert: 1.30 x 1.30 in. 3.50 x 3.50 cm
Circle Offset: 3.40 x 3.40 in. 8.50 x 8.50 cm

Using gold mirror card I die cut the main feature die
and then also die cut a circle rim using the outer die
and a Standard Circle.


My card front is red cardstock with a circle aperture.


Matted onto gold mirror card mat again with an aperture.


A black 5 x 7 card base with some patterned scrap paper.


The aperture mats mounted onto the card front.


Chinese Coin die set set into the aperture.
I then added the gold die cut rim around the edge.


The finished card, just a little bit of stamping to the base of the card.





Destination China dies are available on the website here.

In for a very chilly weekend I believe so wrap up warm
everyone and take care.

  11. Hope you are feeling a lot better. Great idea to put the patterned paper under the circle and then make it part of the focal point with the die. WakeyL
