Hello, Crafty Peeps!
I have so many new things in my craft box, I decided to create a mid-month project for our challenge at A Place to Start. The "New Things" in this project are: "Always Time For Tea Die," "Sun Umbrella and Chairs Die."
I am a big fan of Lisa Curcio! She is a Stampin' Up demonstrator who always comes up with awesome fun folds and great ways to use DSP. Whenever I get stuck, I visit Lisa's Stamp Studio. She made a fabulous Christmas Card using a diagonal gatefold card. I needed a design for a new promotional die, and I like this fun gatefold design. Here is a link to her tutorial. Creating this card is super easy and super quick!
Sun Umbrella and Chairs Cutting Die
When I review products, I like to use them in an actual project. I think it is a better way to connect with creatives. Usually, I would put this "Umbrella and Chair"metal-cutting in a more "grounded" environment. But, since this is one of those cards that will likely remain with me, I decided to let it float!
I am committed to using all of my DSP. I have tons of Graphic45 Papers that I need to get rid of. This sheet from the old "A Ladies' Diary" Collection is a perfect compliment to my "Always Time For Tea" themed project.
I had fun paper piecing my die cuts! I really like this die and look forward to using it on future projects!
