Knits Knots and Stitches Die with blended Distress Oxide and Nuvo drops background.


Hello lovelies,

Thank you so much for stopping by my blog today. Today I am sharing a card made using the slimline knits, knots and stitches die set from i-crafter. These dies are really versatile and can be used for both stitching projects as well as decorative elements. I can’t wait to play some more with them.

For the card

Here is what you will need:

I was in a rainbow mood and so I ink blended distress oxides on a 4.25×5.5 inch white background in rainbow order. I used: picked raspberry, candied apple, ripe persimmon, squeezed lemonade, mowed lawn, peacock feathers, and wilted violet. I used one piece of masking tape to create a triangle with the point on the left and the base on the right. I blended picked raspberry into the space and removed the masking tape. I applied more masking tape to form another triangle going the opposite direction right below the first. I continued blending with colors in the order listed above until the entire panel was filled up. I allowed the panel to dry fully.

These are the remaining instructions:

  1. Add Nuvo crystal drops (carnation pink, red berry, auburn pearl, dandelion yellow, bottle green, Caribbean ocean and crushed grape) of the corresponding color to each triangle and allow to dry.
  2. Cut two pieces from a white cardstock sheet to 5×4.25 inches and also 4.25×11 inches for the card base.
  3. Use the Knits, knots and Stitches die to cut 3 windows in the front of the panel at different heights
  4. Save these white cutouts
  5. Cut 1/4inch off the left, right and top of the rainbow panel.
  6. Adhere dried rainbow panel on folded card base ensuring that it is aligned with the bottom edge of the card base and equally spaced from both vertical sides.
  7. Then add foam tape to the sided and top of the card base
  8. Adhere the white diecut panel on top and fill in the negative space with the white cutouts in step 4 using glue.
  9. Cut a sentiment from gold glitter cardstock and cut outline from vellum. Adhere to each other.
  10. Adhere sentiment to card
  11. Add clear nuvo drops (morning dew)
  12. Your card is complete!

Thanks so much for stopping by.

I hope you get to try this simple yet beautiful card.
