Hello friends,
It's Friday Die-Day and I'm actually posting this on a Friday!
This week I thought I would take you down the wonderful world of Cut Fold Tuck Dies.
and Floral Burst. It is Floral Burst that I'm going to feature today.
You receive three die templates and full instructions on the packaging too.
This is how they look cut and embossed.
Occasionally with the smaller dies it can prove a little tricky removing your paper/cardstock from the die template. If so, use some waxed paper - I've discovered the baking circles from Lakeland work very well. You need to lay your die template on your base plate cutting side up, a piece of waxed paper and then your chosen cardstock/paper - cut and emboss - your die cut will then easily be removed from the template.
The next step is the fold and tuck - you can see the slimmer curved sections, lift each one, fold to the right and tuck under the petal next to it.
Here one section is tucked and the next upright section is folded ready to be tucked.
A view from a different angle.
Repeat these steps with the middle and small flower.
It's tiny but it folds and tucks perfectly.
Here are all three completely folded and tucked.
They look lovely stacked on top of each other.
But wait...! Look at the difference stencilling makes!
The die templates are designed so that you can stencil through and the effect is really lovely!
And this is the cut, embossed, stencilled, folded and tucked flower!
I love it!
Hope you enjoy these dies, they open up lots of ideas not just for cards but imagine this white and glittery at Christmas...hanging on the tree...
Remember friends to let me know any particular dies you would like featured on Friday Die-Day.
Have a wonderful weekend and I am back tomorrow.

I haven't bought any of these dies, I wasn't struck by them at first, but your idea of Christmas and glitter has me thinking now. Oh another bout of spending and another thing on my 'To Do List'>!!
ReplyDeleteLovely pics of the method, wish I could take close-ups. So many things to practice, not enough time in my day..
Thanks Christine. I hope you have a good Friday. Hugs Linda xx
