Colorful Toucan Paper Cuts Edger from Creative Expressions

Hello and welcome!  I'm here today with another newly released Paper Cuts Edger die from Creative Expressions.

This one is called "Tropical Toucan" and this card was so fun to make.

I had not used CE Crystal Tints before but they are really fun to make a stained glass look on your card.

Here's a super close up look:

Here's how I made my card:

1)  Die cut the Toucan edger die from a piece of white card stock 8.5" by 5.5" three times.

2)  Remove the die cut pieces and using the cut lines at top and bottom, trim the edgers at the top and bottom.  

3)  Adhere one of the dies to a piece of heat resist acetate, then begin adding the tints into the opening wherever you want them.  I used 4 colors, they are listed below.  If you get any air bubbles, use the tip or a pin to pop them before it dries.  Don't worry if you go outside the lines because you will hide it all!

4)  Set it off to dry for a bit and then add another layer of tints in any places you want a darker color.

5) After that dries, trim the acetate along the edge and then add the extra die cuts on top of the first one.  This helps hide any mistakes or drips you may have gotten on the first die cut.

6)  Trim the Toucan panel to the size to fit your card, I used an A2 card.  Attach it to the card base on the left side.  

7)  Heat emboss the sentiment in white embossing powder on black card stock then trim into a banner

8)  Add the sentiment to the left side of the card.

Here's another look at my card:
