Yay! My Stampin’ Up! box arrived containing the April Product of the Month: the Eyelet Blooms Die. This die, measuring 6 x 4 3/8, gives your card fronts and crafts a dainty touch, a hand-stitched look.
What is the Product of the Month? It’s an exclusive product released by Stampin’ Up! available while supplies last. One per customer. When your online shopping cart total reaches $75 (before tax, shipping, and any redeemed rewards), you can purchase this die for just $5.
Here’s a picture of what the die looks like when it’s used as a die cut. Notice the dainty flowers?
However, I decided to use this die in a different way for today’s card. I used it as an embossing folder. Be sure to watch the video below to see the steps to take to use it as an embossed element. It’s really fun! And, using Stampin’ Up!’s two-tone cardstock gives it even more texture. The possibilities are many!
