I just love getting Stampin’ Up!’s Product of the Month each month; I enjoy the challenge of creating with a brand-new product! This month is no different. The Eyelet Blooms Die is a stunner!
Remember: You can purchase the Product of the Month for just $5 when your online shopping cart totals $75 (before tax, shipping, and any redeemed rewards). Available while supplies last. Limited to one per customer.
I appreciate all of the possibilities this large background die offers. See my first creation here. I used Stampin’ Up!’s Silicone Craft Sheet to emboss my paper instead of die cutting. Be sure to watch this video to see how it’s done.
Measurements and Details
Thick Basic White cardstock base measuring 11 x 4 1/4, scored and folded at 5 1/2
Crumb Cake cardstock panel measuring 5 1/4 x 4, die cut with the Eyelet Blooms Die. (Tip: Place the die cut side up on your die cutting platform, add the paper, and then the clear plate. This helps the die cut all of the smaller pieces so you don’t have to spend time poking the pieces out.)

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!
