Dies add texture and interest to your cards, they are quick to use and give a really polished look to your projects. I have the new Gallery Blooms dies on this first card, hopefully you are loving it as much as I am. The card is just folded back on itself at the front and I’ve used the frame and leaves and stamped image to make the focal point. The embossing folder is called Damask designs and the amazing border stamp on the inside of the card is from Beautiful Motifs. Colouring with blends onto Crumb Cake card, give lots of depth too.

The next few cards use a variety of old and new dies, I hope you like them and can make some cards with similar layouts and designs. I wanted to showcase dies in different ways, as the main focus and small elements too.

Thats all from me for today, I hope you have a wonderful weekend and I’ll be back soon with some more creative inspiration.
