Friday Die Day

Hello friends
I'm in shock!  How could I have missed it??? 
One of the die sets I use most frequently and I've realised I've never featured it on Friday Die Day!!
I must put the record straight....
this week it is Jewel Flowers and Flourishes - one of my absolute 'go to' die sets.
Flowers - check, butterflies - check, foliage - check!
You receive 9 die templates with this set.
 This is how they look cut/embossed. 
 I'm very keen on the little leaves, the embossing is wonderful....
but remember if you flip them over and stencil through them....
add a little bit more ink around the edges - the detail is perfect. 
Tag time...covered with pretty paper.
Placing a further patterned strip and ribbon. 
 Adding the Jewel Flowers and Flourishes...but, is there something missing?
 Yes! A butterfly....
 A close up picture.
Yesterday's card, a lot of you have asked what paper I used...I promise to find out!
I recall grabbing it from my 'odd box' and I'm hoping there is still some in there so I can find out the manufacturer.  I will rummage next time I'm down at the studio.
Wishing you a wonderful weekend.
Take care friends.

Hi Christine, I now really need to add this to my wish list, love the swirl die. Your tag is gorgeous. Love FDD as you introduce me to so many different dies and explain the best ways to use them.

As always Christine a great FDD and beautiful tag! You are such an inspiration, thank you so much for sharing.
Not sure if this question has been asked before so apologies if it has; what do you use to attach the paper to the tag?
Have a great day and wonderful weekend everyone.

Morning Christine,
FDD at its best! Love this set of dies, I also love what you have done with them.
What size tags do you use and do you sell them? I like the idea of using tags as they are not as daunting as a big white space of card.
I have also noticed a bit of a resurgence of ATC's , I love those mini works of art and I thought that today's tag could easily be copied on an ATC.
Do you do ATC's Christine?
I would like to wish you all a lovely crafty weekend, I have heard rumours of a return of the 'white stuff'
Warm hugs,
Sandra Riley

Hi Christine, I LOVE Die Day!! It's great seeing the finished articles when they come out of the die. So much better than trying to visualize them! I love the colour combination and your use of tags..I must get some (tags) and make some up..:)..this set of dies is now going on my wish list. You should get commission from Spellbinders for all the extra sales generated from your FDD..lol..Have a great day/weekend..xxx

Lacelady said...

Lovely ideas, but I would translate them onto a card, as I'm not so keen on tags.

Beanie said...

I too love this die and the leaves get cut every week as they are so versatile! I usually stick to making cards but seeing your tag has inspired me to have a go. Thank you for sahring your gorgeous ideas. xx
