Howdy! Layle [1] here with you again today for day 3 of our Simple Stories & Top Dog Dies Product Swap!
Both design teams have swapped products and will be sharing on our blogs all week long. Join us for some great inspiration as well as a chance to win a prize package from both Top Dog Dies & Simple Stories!
Today design team member Vicki Boutin joins us with a fun summery layout using our Summer Vibes collection & lots of great die cut flowers - _______________
Hey there! Vicki here with a cute project using Top Dog Dies and the brand new Summer Vibes collection! I am a huge fan of die-cutting and I love the ease of use steel-rule dies offer. It sure makes cutting paper pieced images a lot easier than when I did it all by hand! I used three set of dies from Top Dog Dies to create today’s project. Here are the sets - Pretty Petals #2 [2], Leaves Set [3] and Gift Tag Die [4].
Take a look at the project…
These dies were super easy to use!!!! They cut through the paper like butter and the images are so clean! I think they go splendidly with the new Summer Vibes line!
Here is a little peek at the dies and some of the flowers I cut out.
Take a closer look at the details these dies offer. I LOVE the “pinholes” and intricate designs.
I used the Gift Tag die as a label. Love this one and will be using it often!
The Summer Vibes Chipboard and Fundamental Stickers layer perfectly with the “customizable” die cuts.
Another fun way to use the Top Dog Dies is to create a pattern from the “negative” cuts like I did with the border here. When I cut the leaves out I repeated a pattern on the strip of paper I was cutting from and then backed it with a strip of red paper. I LOVE how this turned out.
Thanks again to Top Dog Dies for sharing their wonderful dies!
