I love it when a new crafty purchase unlocks new opportunities to revisit favourites in your stash. This is exactly what happened to me when I purchased the Wanted to Say Dies from the Annual Catalogue.
These dies are so striking, they don’t need much more than a gorgeous Designer Series Paper (DSP), and a few embellishments to finish off a card beautifully.
I had fun decorating the inside of the cards as well.
This card front features the Fresh as a Daisy 12 X 12 Designer Series Paper, and the Iridescent Basic Rhinestones both available in the Annual Catalogue and the online store now.
This lovely birthday card features a DSP from my stash called the Favoured Flowers 12 X 12, and simple clear embellishments.
Isn’t this a gorgeous housewarming card? I used the Rings of Love DSP from my stash and clear glitter enamel dots. The housewarming stamp is from a long retired stamp set called Party Time.
The Lily Impressions DSP is one of my favourites in my stash. It was included in a 6×6 sampler pack when I re- signed up to be a demonstrator a few years ago.
Aren’t the colours amazing?
I love how a few simple word dies allowed me to pull favourite papers that I haven’t used for a while, to create simply beautiful cards.
We crafters are collectors aren’t we? I encourage you to look at your collection with fresh eyes, and think about adding these Wanted To Say Dies to your next order to create beautiful, simple cards like these.
If you aren’t currently shopping with a demonstrator, I’d be delighted to help you and answer any questions you might have.
