Friday Die Day

Hello friends

With Valentine's Day on the horizon I thought this week's Friday Die Day

should be a bit 'love..y'!

But look no flowers - I've gone with a manly card featuring the

Die D-Lite set - Gears.

It is a 6 piece die set, approximate measurements are:

Large Spokes Gear: 1.40 x 1.40 in. 3.70 x 3.70 cm

Small Spokes Gear: 1.00 x 1.00 in. 2.50 x 2.50 cm

Gear 1: 0.80 x 0.80 in. 2.10 x 2.10 cm

Gear 2: 0.80 x 0.80 in. 2.00 x 2.00 cm

Gear 3: 0.80 x 0.80 in. 2.00 x 2.00 cm

Gear 4: 0.60 x 0.60 in. 1.40 x 1.40 cm

I rummaged and found some of the Royal and Langnickel engraving card,

it's the same as those scratch art kits where you reveal the metallic colours underneath.

I cut multiple gears and got busy with an emery board.

I deliberately left some of the black and over rubbed some edges to age the die cuts.

I then clustered them in a heart shape and glued each gear to the next.

I then used Classic Hearts nested to create a frame, positioned this over the top

and glued in place.

Mounted onto a kraft card mat and then a kraft card front.

The finished card with a typed and die cut sentiment.



Some close up pics.

Really pleased with how this one turned out,

I guess I can occasionally make a card without a flower or butterfly!

Die set featured today with clickable link - Gears, in stock now.

Also very pleased to say that we have managed to get some of the 

3D Vignette dies earlier than the anticipated March delivery date.

These are the gorgeous designs by Becca Feeken.

If you've pre-ordered they will be on their way.

You can check out the in stock items on the website here.

Wishing you all a lovely weekend - what are you up to?

I'm visiting Bexley Library tomorrow, the author Ben Aaronovich is

going to be there doing a talk and I am a real fan.

If you like crime novels with a bit of magic then check him out.

I will then be back crafting, of course!

Take care friends.
