Life is Better When You're Crafting

 Greetings!

When I saw the Crafting With You Bundle, I thought, do I need that?  It's so cute!  I debated for a week or so, and decided, yep, I need this set!  I know...need is a strong word. 

This bundle really speaks to crafters using a multitude of mediums, from yarns to painting to sewing and of course, paper crafting and stamping.  The dies have the cutest accessories, and I have to say the scissors are my favorite!  They are two pieces that connect so it's just like having a real pair only they're made from cardstock.  So clever!  The little round brads from the Round & Square Brads are the perfect size to hold them together and give them movement.


Check out that paper trimmer die cut!  It's so ingenious to have the die cut so you can slide the cardstock under the guide, making it the perfect way to hold the piece with your message on it.  I know I will be finding all kinds of ways to use this set throughout the coming year.  Since many of my friends are crafters of some kind or another, this is going to be a go to for sending fun notes to them.

Think of all the fun you can have creating adorable cards to send to your friends!  Check out all the detailed dies when you're shopping.  It really is an amazing set.

Here's How It's Made:
Adhere DSP panel to Petal Pink folded card front.

Die cut out paper trimmer and ruler.  Ink "Life is better..." with Petal Pink and stamp onto Basic White cardstock.   Position right edge of cardstock under guide piece of die cut paper trimmer. Adhere.  Adhere paper trimmer, sentiment and ruler to card front as shown:


Die cut scissors from lightest Silver Foil Sheet.  Apply Adhesive Sheet* to Crushed Curry cardstock, die cut scissors, snip off blade section, adhere to silver foil pieces.  Align pieces together, pierce hole using piercing tool and piercing mat, insert White Round Brad, bending both pieces flat along blade edge.  Press firmly to flatten.  Adhere on edge of paper trimmer with mini glue dots.

*If you haven't tried the Adhesive Sheets yet, I strongly encourage it for detailed die cuts.  It can sometimes be a bit tricky to grab an edge and pull off the protective backing, but it's so worth it to have a die cut that solidly adheres to your card without the mess of sticky fingers and shiny glue spots that can show when using liquid glue.  The Adhesive Sheets come in 12 x 6 sheets, and are scored every 2" on the 6" width, so it makes it easy to cut small pieces from the sheet and use only what is needed.  Love them!




Adhere Linen Thread with a mini glue dot, and cover glue dot with a large Copper Clay Dot.  Adhere Pebbled Path medium dot along cutting guide of paper trimmer to represent the cutting blade.  Embellish more additional dots in Wild Wheat and Copper Clay.
