MFT Preview 7 — Retro Squares

Now that you’ve been teased all week long, it’s almost time for you to shop for your favorite Brand Spankin’ New products from My Favorite Things.  But first we’re focusing on our new Die-namics!

I decided to do a little playing around with our new Retro Squares Die-namics and one of my favorite sentiment sets, Big Greetings. After die-cutting several strips of Black Licorice, Bubblegum, Razzleberry and Sweet Tooth cardstock, off I went!  🙂

On my first card, I used the die strip just the way it is presented, layered with pink and white squares inserted into the open spaces.

On my second card I simply used the frame strips.

Here I used the negative space from the solid die, placing alternating dark and light pink squares in the open spaces.

And here I did a little clipping/inserting with more open frames.

To create this look, I first adhered the left black strip to my paper.  I only applied the adhesive to the left edges of the strip.  Next I placed the darker pink strip.  To insert the left side of the dark pink strip into the openings on the black strip, simply clip the left side of each dark pink square.  Once inserted into the black, the black edges hide the clip of the pink.  Continue with light pink, black and finally the darker pink.  🙂
