A quick post to share a card that uses, yet again, a new die for the first time and links to two challenges. I ordered the Block Talk die from Papertrey Ink last month, but haven’t had a chance to pull it out until today. “Celebrate” is just one of three words included with the die.
I cut the die twice–once in gold metallic and once in silver metallic and inserted the silver strips into the gold die. The stars came from two “matching” dies from Simon Says: “Holiday Shapes” and “Large Holiday Shapes.” Those dies get lots of use! The beautiful, slightly textured purple paper is (I think) from Bazzill that I picked up during Archivers going-out-of-business sale in January. The silver metallic paper is from Paper Source, but I’m not sure where I purchased the gold paper.
This is another entry to Virginia’s View Die Cut Challenge.
And it will be my first entry to the Moxie Fab “Wonderful Words Challenge,” which was to include a die cut word in your project.
How splendid with this metallic approach with the PTI dies, Karen! It really stands out and is so very eye-catching!Well done on this celebratory card! So glad that you join the fun over Virginia’s View Challenge!
Very cool card. The colors definitely say celebration to me!

p.s. you always have the best books on your book shelf. I was just reading a review about The Book of Unknown Americans. Is it really sad?
I’m still working through We Need to Talk about Kevin. After that, I might start a memoir called Wait Till Next Year. And The Invention of Wings is till on my list, and Plague of Doves is on my book shelf. I just haven’t made time to read lately!
