Why Handcrafted Elements Dies Are a Crafting Essential!

Create a Birthday Card with Handmade Elements Dies from Stampin' Up! Mary Fish, Stampin' Pretty

I can’t stop reaching for the Stampin’ Up! Handcrafted Elements Dies. Each die has a “companion” to layer and boost dimension, color and design. These dies earned a spot on the list of My Favorite Things from the Stampin’ Up! Holiday Catalog.

WHAT I LOVE ! I used the Stampin’ Up! Deckled Rectangles Dies for a the Wild Wheat and Basic Black background layers. However, I used the smallest deckled rectangle die to crop the top of the sentiment, reposition and crop the bottom. Because of the “deckled” edge, there was nothing on the sides to line up. It blends right in. Is that cool or what!
