This fortnight's challenge theme is to showcase a project using
your Favourite: Cutting Die (or paper punch if you don't have any dies) & why
You MUST explain WHY it is your favourite.
Here are the beautiful creations made by our Design Team to get your mojo flowing:
I love circle dies, and have them in vairous styles, including double stitched, pierced and deckled, but the simple stitch is my favourite. I love the subtle texture without taking the focus away from the image or embelishments.
I had to have this swirling star die set last year...and never used it, but I pulled it out this year and love it. It can be used for Christmas as shown here and I plan to use it on some Halloween cards too.
This Sentiment Merry Christmas die is my most favourite, I use it every Christmas and it is the best size.
.
I love using dies and have a few favourites. These Moonstone flowers and Marianne circle dies are used for many of my cards. They are pretty and look different each time with various colour combos.
My favourite die is a tag die with a unusual shape for a tag. Most tags are long and not very wide and this one is wide and not so long and I love it! It is so perfect for creating a little scene like I did today.
I love my mini scalloped dies. I have circles, squares and these edgers which come in a variety of shapes. I love how they add a bit of interest but without being too overpowering.
I have found so many unused dies during the course of this year and have made a real effort to use them instead of regular circle or square dies. I shamefully have several complete crafting suites that I've never used. This die set came with stamps and the shakey thingy too so I used all the things to make this and, I have to say that sets with the whole kit and caboodle are definitely my new favourites!!
Lately I bought several flower/leaf dies and I love them. At this moment these are my favorite dies and I used them a lot. This is one of the cards I made with these dies.
It's over to you.
We hope you will join in our challenge and show us your style.
Don't forget, you MUST explain WHY it is your favourite to be eligible to win.
Good luck, and happy crafting.
Hugs from the AYLI girls.
Thanks for choosing my sunflower card as one of your top three! I'm so honored!
