Hello, this is Elena here today sharing a layout made using dies from Seth Apter. These dies are fantastic if you are looking for fun shapes to use for any male or boy projects.

Did you know that if you buy a die that fulfills one purpose, repurposing that die is a bonus? The good news is that you can keep the secret of what the die is originally for but use bits and pieces of luscious pattern for another home run.  I'm Becca Feeken with Amazing Paper Grace - a known die collector.  Today I'm sharing how easy it is to take...

Hello Spellbinders friends, it’s Elena here with you today. As a cardmaker, I usually like to create floral and delicate cards, it’s so easy to make them since there are many embellishments to choose from.

Every time I get a new die, I size it up and look at all the pieces.  Most often people contemplate what they can do with the 'main die'.  Well, there is treasure in the details because some of the runner ups in a die set have their own claim to fame.  Hi there, I'm Becca Feeken with Amazing Paper Grace and  today I'm sharing a ''One Die'' card...
