Today we will be showcasing the new Dots Meet Dashes Large Rectangles Overlays and the Dots Meet Dashes Small Rectangles Overlays.

These two sets coordinate perfectly with each other. The largest rectangle from the Large Overlays is 5.5″ x 4.25″, which is the size of the standard A2 card. The largest rectangle from the Small Overlays is 5″ x 3.75″. Besides giving you the most unique boarder detailing for your cards, they can be used to create layerings, and frames with simple modifications. These are for sure essential must-have items in your craft room.

Now let’s see what our Creative Team has created for us with these dies!

First we have Anja’s Easter greeting card! Her neat and simple card really makes the beautiful boarder details stand out! She used 3 different dies from the 2 sets. For the base, she chose a flowery patterned paper. For the middle layer she used just white cardstock and for the top layer she ink blended the white cardstock with scattered straw and squeezed lemonade Distress Oxide Inks. This card looks so elegant! She also used images from the My BFF stamps and cut them out with the coordinating Penguin Perfect Cuts.

Ashley made for us a 2-layer card. Her chevron patterned paper was cut using the Dots Meets Dashes (large size) die to fit a standard-sized card base. A smaller die was used to cut out a white piece, and then an even smaller die was used with an embossing mat to produce an embossed rectangular dots-meets-dashes pattern, inset into the piece. Such a clever idea! The adorable seal and sentiment are from The More We Get Together stamp set.

I really love the embossing technique that she used for this card. Head over to our YouTube channel and check out her video tutorial!

Up next is Vera’s card. Not only she added a boarder detailing with the largest die cut, she also used of one of the smaller rectangle die to create two dots and dashes frames for her card by cutting out the two extra windows. The cute couple is from The Sweetest Truck stamp set and the rest of the images and sentiments are from the There’s No One Like You stamp set.

Then we have Davina’s card. I love her choice of the bold patterned papers. The beautifully inked circular die cut pieces were used as canvases for her images. I just love the composition of everything! All of the images and sentiment are from The More We Get Together stamp set.

For today, I made a simple encouragement card. I created A1 sized card with some polka-dot note card from Lawn Fawn. Then using The Sandstone Series – Cool Granite – Heavy Weight Premium Cardstock and The Sandstone Series – Wedding Dress – Heavy Weight Premium Cardstock, I die cut 2 extra layers with the smaller rectangles from both the large and small rectangle overlays. The cute curry sauce images are from the Never Give Up stamp set. Finally I added the sentiment in bold black “Keep Calm and Curry On”! Hope you like it.

A BIG Thank-You to our wonderful and talented Creative Team! Head over to their blogs for more details on these cards.
