Do you believe in love at first sight?
I do, because that’s exactly what happened to me when I first laid eyes on these awesome dies called Stitched with Whimsy.
While these dies don’t actually cut anything out, they do leave stitching lines on your card stock which creates a lovely frame. Simply cut a panel to the size you want and then lay the die onto it and run it through your Stampin’ Cut & Emboss Machine. You can see the stitching on my Pretty Peacock panel in the photo below:
Notice the gentle, whimsical curves that frame the Pretty Peacock panel and how they create a subtle border to an otherwise very plain background. This set of Stitched with Whimsy Dies includes rectangles and squares (3 of each in graduating sizes) and is available through the Jan-Jun 2021 Mini Catalog, page 72.
The chickens are from Hey Birthday Chick, a new set that coordinates with Hey Chick from several years ago (and it’s BACK too!). For a limited time, both of these sets are available with dies as well, shown below:
Here’s another card that I made with the chickens and the whimsy dies. The card stock colors are Poppy Parade, Cinnamon Cider, White and So Saffron.
The sentiment, “Don’t grow up, it’s a TRAP!” is from my custom sentiment PDF which is available to you for FREE! You can download it below 🙂
Download my FREE sentiments!
I’ve created some fun silly puns and sentiments that can be cut out with the Messages Die. These sentiments will give you more ways to say what you want to say and they’re FREE to you! There are two different sets and all you need to do is download my PDF’s and then print them onto any color of card stock. Lay your Messages Die over them and run through your die cutting machine. You’ll have loads of sentiments to pick from, to use or save for later. Just download the PDF, save it to your files and then print as needed!
Don’t have the Messages Die??? Oh dear…you’re missing out! This one big die cuts out 19 sentiments with only one pass through your die cutting machine! It coordinates with Many Messages stamp (one big stamp) and is easiest to use with the Stamparatus.
Over the new few months, I’ll be releasing a number of sentiment PDF’s that fit this die and they’ll all be FREE to you, as a thank you for following my blog and allowing me to share Stampin’ Up with you!!
* (I have permission from Stampin’ Up! to share these with you as long as they’re FREE!)
Don’t hesitate on getting the die that you’ll need to cut them all out with! It’s in the Jan-Jun 2021 Mini Catalog, page 35, which only runs through June 30, 2021. Will it return in the next annual catalog? Nobody knows, so don’t take a chance…get it ASAP!
Let’s take a peek at a couple more cards using the Stitched with Whimsy Dies and my fun sentiments.
I framed the Very Vanilla panel (5″ x 3 3/4″) with the 2nd largest rectangle from Stitched with Whimsy Dies.
Along with Hey Birthday Chick, I used Nothing’s Better Than for the cocktail and added one of my custom sentiments from the free PDF.
Card stock colors are Flirty Flamingo, Pear Pizzazz, Very Vanilla, Poppy Parade, and Bumblebee.
The cocktail from Nothing’s Better Than stamp set was stamped with Early Espresso and the fill color is 2nd generation Pear Pizzazz. The lime is also Pear Pizzazz without stamping off first. The umbrella is Flirty Flamingo. I used Love You More Than Dies to cut the cocktail out.
The chicken was stamped with Early Espresso ink and colored in with Stampin’ Blend Markers in Daffodil Delight, Mango Melody, Pumpkin Pie and Cajun Craze. It was cut out with the Birthday Chick Dies.
I printed my custom sentiments onto Bumblebee card stock and then cut all of them out with the Messages Die.
And on the inside I stamped words from Nothing’s Better Than and Hey Birthday Chick using Mango Melody and Poppy Parade inks. The cocktail was stamped the same as for the front but this time the umbrella is Mango Melody.
And today’s final example uses Purple Posy, Highland Heather, Bermuda Bay, Coastal Cabana, White and Brass Foil.
I used Painted Texture 3D Embossing Folder on the Highland Heather panel. The horizontal Bermuda Bay banner is 2″ wide and was notched with the Triple Banner Punch.
The Coastal Cabana 2 3/4″ square was framed with the largest square from Stitched with Whimsy Dies and then I used a corner rounder punch on the corners.
I colored the stamped images with Stampin’ Blend Markers in Purple Posy, Highland Heather, Flirty Flamingo, Melon Mambo, Mango Melody and Cinnamon Cider.
And on the inside…
“Happy Birthday” die is from Birthday Chick Dies and was cut from two colors, Flirty Flamingo and Highland Heather. I placed the pink behind the purple with a slight off-set.
As you can see, I’ve been having some craft room fun using these chickens and my original sentiments! I hope you’ll enjoy using them too. Be sure and click the PDF so that you can download and print them out.
I shared the PDF above, but here it is again:
Enjoy them and come back soon for more puns and sentiments that’ll coordinate with other Stampin’ Up themes. Thanks for visiting today!
