Sunday Share - Patchwork Pieces Dies Make Awesome Cards!

I know I usually focus on bundles when I look at the new catalogues (they always give me a good deal with coordinating stamps and dies), but this year the Annual Catalogue is full of stand-alone die sets that will give you lots of options no matter what stamps you use with them - check out the cards I made recently with the Patchwork Pieces Dies . . .  so cool!

I chose three patterns from the Inked Botanicals DSP, ran each sheet through the SU Embossing and Die Cutting Machine using the Patchwork Pieces Dies, then alternated the patterns so I ended up with three different cards to use.

The greetings are all from the Artistically Inked Stamp set in the Annual Catalogue, stamped in Lost Lagoon Ink. I used some of the new Tinsel Gems for a bit of sparkle on the cards.  

The envelopes were finished off with some matching DSP strips to make the person smile when they get their card in the mail!  It's an easy little touch that really makes a difference 💕

There are two dies in the set and this next card shows off the other die in a simple Night of Navy and Basic White combo with the Color & Contour Stamp Set front and centre (the teaser at the top of the page also uses this die - a hint of another card that I can't share yet as it's going in the mail to some special people for their special day). Did you notice the ribbon?? It's coming in the Holiday Mini on September 6th and it's so pretty and sparkly too!

And here's some ideas from our concept artists at Stampin' Up! - they always have lots of inspiration in the catalogues and throughout the year on the  Stampin' Up! Facebook page and website. It's hard to see on the Happy Birthday card that the dies were used tone on tone to create the middle layer - a neat look!
