We know how crazy you are about these dies - each day one winner will get three dies of their choice!!
How about a Christmas card today?! I starte by cutting out the Square Shaker Frame from chipboard (don't tell - it's a cereal box!). I painted the frame with white acrylic paint, and stamped it with the Honeycomb Cover-a-Card. The sentiment I used is HERE.
I filled the corner of my wreath with flowers made using my Fence Border die - I have shared a tutorial for making these rolled flowers HERE - this border makes 4 different kinds of flowers, and they're so quick and fun! Because the die is longer than the one I used in the tutorial, these flowers are much fuller with more, wider petals. So fun to make!
These are the dies that I used:
 |
| Fence Border |
 |
| Flags (set of 3) |
 |
| Twig Wreath (4 dies) |
 |
| Square Shaker Frame Die |
