Amuse Studio Mardi Gras Mask Card

A clever idea to use the Geek Is the New Chic Dies and turn it into a Mardi Gras Mask!  The die cut glasses on the top row far right is the one that was used for this card. 

Geek is the New Chic Die Set  Item #TAD0051

Amuse Studio Supplies:      SHOP AMUSE STUDIO

Stamps:  Sunset Beach, First In My Book

Cardstock:  Sugar, Grape, Wasabi

Ink:  Wasabi, Grape, Evergreen, Onyx Versafine

Other:  Signo Uni-ball gold gel pen, Lime organdy polka dot ribbon, Special Black Copic marker, Geek is the New Chic die set, Holly Die set

Cutting Instructions:

Card base:  Sugar 5"x7" scored at top

Grape 4 ⅝" x 3 ⅛"

Sugar 4 ½" x 3"

Wasabi ½" x 5"

Grape 1 ½" x 2 ½" (for die cut)

Score the Sugar card stock at 3 ½" to make a 4-bar size card.  Stamp flourishes from Sunset Beach stamp set with Wasabi, Grape & Evergreen ink around edges of the Sugar layer.

Adhere Sugar layer & Grape layer to card front.  Die cut the mask shape from Grape card stock using Geek is the New Chic die set.  Position the berry shape from the Holly Die set on mask.  Hold in place with small piece of washi tape while die cutting.  Repeat on other side of the mask to create two eye openings.  

Dot around edge of the mask shape using the Gold uni-ball gel pen.  Tie a small piece of Lime polka dot organdy ribbon & adhere with a mini glue dot to side of the mask.  Using a straight edge, draw a line with 110 Special Black Copic Marker.  Adhere the mask at top of the line using 3D foam adhesive.  

Stamp the sentiment on the Wasabi layer using Onyx Versafine ink.  Trim the end of the Wasabi layer using detail scissors and adhere to the card front.

Amuse Studio Snowman Rosette

Ok, so I have seen this idea on Pinterest and also a fellow Amuse Studio Consultant, Chelsea Comer made a darling one.  I have been wanting to try this so I decided to use all Amuse Studio products.

Cardstock:  Sugar Shimmer, Onyx Petite Polka Dot, Onyx, Wasabit, Orange Shimmer

Other:  Rosette Die Set, Onyx buttons, Cherry Pearls, silver elastic cording for hanging

The rosette is approximately 5" in diameter.  I drew the holly myself and just cut it out.  Amuse Studio has a set of Holly dies but I do not have them yet!
