Blog: TUTORIAL: HEY GIRL + DIAMOND DIE SET

Hi, everyone! Dana here with card inspiration for the Fairground Card kit and add-ons. You'll notice in my kit gallery (Hey Girl Card; Let's Celebrate Card) that the particular combination of the Hey Girl and nested Diamond dies were a favorite. Today, I'll bring you one more idea to use both together on a project.

First up, I gathered my supplies (mostly) from Fairground kits with a particular color combo in mind: yellow, green, gold and white.

Next, I die cut several diamond shapes from the Fairground card kit paper pad as well as my card sentiment with the "Hey Girl" die. The sentiment die was colored with a yellow ink dauber but you could also dab it into your Color Theory ink pads to achieve the effect.

My next step was it to arrange the diamond shapes on white card stock (size: 4.0 x 5.5 in). There are lots of fun options here to vary the design. Once I settled for a diagonal arrangement, I glued the paper pieces down - a tiny amount of glue in the middle is sufficient to hold it down.

When the glue was dry, I added a few of the gold stars from the card kit and sewed them down together with the paper diamonds.

You could leave it there or add a strip of washi tape for a clear transition between the patterned paper and sentiment. In my last step, I adhered the sentiment with a glue pen and attached everything to a kraft card base (size 4.25 x 5.5 in).
