Double Striplet Sunday

Good Sunday morning all!  I thought I might do double days based on the same dies in two different cards (at least until I run out of enough cards! LOL)  I have selected two cards using the Petite Squared Tile die this week.  For the first card, I cut the decorative inside part of the die three times across a piece of black card.  I added a sticky adhesive sheet to the back of it, then gilded the exposed adhesive with Persian Dawn gilding flakes.  I used the outer cutting edge from the Belgian Tag to cut a shape into the middle of the background.  I added mounting foam to the aperture to raise it for dimension .  I then added the cut out tag shape back into to the recess of the aperture.  I cut the entire tag out of black and glued it into the aperture.  I stamped my sentiment and cut it out with the smaller die in the centre of the tag.  I matted it with a piece of gold card.  The card was completed with a white pierced mat, then thin black mat and a final white mat.  The finished dimensions are 6 1/2" x  7 1/2" in size.  Scroll down for card number two.

Card number two has been paper pieced using red, grey, silver and black card into a die cut white background.  I cut the Squared Tile Striplet die four times across a piece of white card.  I covered a second piece of white card with a sticky adhesive sheet.  I attached the die cut to the exposed adhesive.  I cut the die again in black, red, grey and silver four times and used the waste from each to piece back into the original.  I stamped my sentiment (which, by the way, I thought should have said Get Well Soon because of the red crosses in the pattern, but couldn't find one anywhere!)  I cut a frame from the Bern die and backed the corner area with red card and then filed in the remaining area with black card.  I mounted it in the centre of the card.  I completed the card with the same white black white matting and layering.  The finished dimensions are 6 3/4" x  7" in size.  Both very simple cards, but two different techniques which both work great for those cards we need for the men in our lives too!
