Favourite Dies

Hello everyone. It's a lovely theme at AYLI this week. I expect we all have these in our stash

Favourite Dies

I have found so many unused dies during the course of this year and have made a real effort to use them instead of regular circle or square dies. I shamefully have several complete crafting suites that I've never used. This die set came with stamps and the shakey thingy too so I used all the things to make this and, I have to say that sets with the whole kit and caboodle are definitely my new favourites!! 


I am almost certain that this set came from shopping telly years and years ago. It was an impulse "must have" purchase (admit it, you've all done it!!) that's never seen the light of day and worse than that, there are two other sets too that I fully intend to use now that I know how fabulous it is to have whole sets of things!! The paper was a Doodlebug Designs one and then I stamped, heat embossed in white, die cut and put it all together in no time at all. The glittered vellum ice cubes took an age to dry but worth it, I think!! 

I am intrigued to see what dies you will share with us and if you feel the need to confess about your "must have" purchases please unload, your secret will be safe with us!!

See yyou at the weekend xx

A fab fruity card Sarah. I confess I have a basket of "must have" purchases and never used. I must try harder to use them x

There is an alternative for the lemons Sarah, get the gin out - just a suggestion. But it's lovely card, the DP's and elements make for a really fresh feel.

Love this clever card, Sarah so fun and dare I say juicy!
My craft room is littered with 'must have - never used' purchases (mostly dies) that I kid myself I will use one day.
