A new Allsorts Challenge begins today and Sarah has chosen the optional theme of 'Dies'.
I bought a new stamp and die set from a Crafter's Companion 'Celebrate your success' during a sale in one of their stores and used it for the first time. I die cut 'CELEBRATION' into the front of a 6" x 6" card blank. The patterned paper is from a paper pad from The Works and I hand cut the banner.
I made a second card using patterned paper from the same paper pad and I used the other stamp in the set.
There are some lovely prizes to be won this month from Sizzix, AALL and Create, Aldridge Crafts, Lavinia and Ruth Hamilton Design
The DT have made some amazing card for inspiration which you can see on the Allsorts Challenge blog.
I am joining in the following challenges:
That die and stamp set certainly has great impact - two super cards
