Most of Stampin’ Up!s dies are part of a bundle – Stamp Set & coordinating Dies.
But the annual catalog includes 9 new dies that although coordinate with lots of other product, aren’t part of a bundle and paired with a specific stamp.
They are:
Basic Borders Dies, Flower Market Dies, Give it a Whirl Dies, Layering Diorama Dies, Picture This Dies, Stitched Greenery Dies, Tailor Made Tags Dies, Warm Wraps Dies, and the Iconic Dies, which I used today.
Actually, if you look quickly through the catalog, you might completely miss them. For me I think it took like five times through the catalog before I saw these Iconic Dies.
The Iconic Dies include great nature images like this bird, leaf, flower, and even bee (see the inside of the card below).
I decided to cut the images from Basic Black cardstock and give them an ombre background using Blending Brushes and three different colors.
I made this card live over on YouTube today with tips and tricks for using the Blending Brushes and creating this fun card.
You can check out the video down below.
Thanks for checking out my card today!!
