Hi everyone! Tonya here with you today. Have you all seen the new dies that My Mind’s Eye released at CHA? There are some great and versatile designs, plus they all cut AND emboss. Today I have two cards to share with you. Both of them use the same cake die, but in completely different ways.
This particular die is from the Niche line Fancy That Cut & Emboss plates. On this first card you can see how the die embossed the layers of the cake as well as a cute little scallop frosting edge on each layer. I die cut the cake twice, once from a pink card stock (for the cake) and a second time out of a shimmery grey ( for the cake pedestal). Then I just cut the two pieces right between where the cake meets the pedestal (there’s a nice embossed line there that make this super easy to do) and adhered them together.

Then I embellished the cake with those new awesome sequins in the Fancy That collection. The sentiments came from a mixed bag of die cuts.
For this next card, I used the negative shape from the die cut and made a shaker window.

I filled that shaker window up with new sequins from the On Trend collection and also with some little micro beads and chunky glitter from my own collection. Then topped the cake off with a glittery gold foam sticker and a glittery gold foam sentiment too!
I can tell that I am going to be getting a lot of mileage out of these new dies and all of the brand new cardstock will be the perfect companion to go with them. Have you seen all of the colors and the different types. I think my favorites are the Glimmer (a beautiful shimmery sheen) and the Mini Dots.
