I used some new-to-me products from a UK company called Carnation Crafts that I first saw on Bibi Cameron's blog. Basically you buy the dies and then download the images to print out on your printer. This card was made using two separate products - the florals and leaves were from one set of dies and the postbox was another.
Fair to say, I would recommend also buying the paper Carnation Crafts sells to print on. I tried on different cardstock I had and their paper definitely gave the best, most vibrant result. In the downloads you can also download a sheet that you then fold in half and can get a double-sided image for either 3D or just to use the reverse side for a different view. The dies also add embossing to parts of the image for added realism. It's pretty innovative and I've already placed my second order. I probably won't use these products exclusively on a card, but they are a welcome addition and can be used for quick cards, which is what this was.
The frames on this card were cut from an Altenew die. I adhered two of them to a white card base then added the Carnation Crafts products. I finished with a matching sentiment from Spellbinders.
Thanks for visiting. I hope you'll check out the wonderful cards made by the rest of the design team.
