I am so excited to finally be able to share with you all that I have designed 3 die holiday die sets for Diemond Dies! I was so honored to be asked to design them, and I am absolutely thrilled with the results.
The most intricate one is called: Cozy Ugly Sweater Cover Plate Die, and it is a convenient, standard A2 size (4.25″ x 5.5″). This single die does almost all the work to make a gorgeous holiday card. To get all the interior pieces in place, I found that using the really inexpensive GLAD Press’n Seal food wrapping paper (also available at most grocery stores) made it really easy (the video below shows the process step-by-step).
The next die is called the Holiday Words Die Set and has three beautifully scripted words: Peace, Joy and Believe. These words could be used on cards, layouts, shadow boxes, gift tags or even CAS ornaments!
There is also a beautiful Mandala Snowflakes Die Set that has a large 4″ x 4″ snowflake and a small 2″ x 2″ snowflake. I think the large one would be great to make CAS cards with just some simple ink blending behind the snowflake, and the small one would make a great snowflake spinner card (see HERE for a tutorial).
The following is a new release share as well as a tutorial on how to easily use the Cozy Ugly Sweater Cover Plate Die (remember to use the coupon code “thankskristina” on all orders of $35 or more to receive free worldwide shipping and 10% off):
