Hi Stampers,
Do you enjoy working on puzzles; how about using bits and pieces to create great cards? If you enjoy those creative activities you will be pleased as punch with the BEAUTIFUL SHAPES DIES. These dies are featured on pages 48-50 of the STAMPIN’ UP!®️ JANUARY - JUNE MINI CATALOG as part of the ABSTRACT BEAUTY SUITE. The dies can be bundled with the HELLO BEAUTIFUL stamp set for a savings of 10%. If you decide to purchase the entire suite of products, the 10% bundled savings is included in the price of the suite.
All the items included in the suite are wonderful, but my favorite item is the dies! Although the catalog pairs the dies with a stamp set, the dies are great all on their own. Today’s cards were created using these great dies! Let’s take a look!
Both of these cards were created with quilt patterns in mind. Although these designs can be found in many other geometric designs, quilts always come to my mind. The card on the left is inspired by the Tumbling Blocks quilt pattern, and the one on the right is inspired by the Grandmother’s Flower Garden pattern. View the video below for more information about the card designs and other ways to use the BEAUTIFUL SHAPES DIES.
