There seems to be no end to the versatility of basic dies. In our opinion, they are some of the handiest tools to have in your stash. Today, Ashley tests and proves the theory by using her border dies to create amazing floral accents out of felt. Use her technique on your next card to give it some homemade sweetness.

I’m willing to give this a try! Thanks for the incredible details Ashley, especially the one about putting your sentiment in the CORNER of the acrylic block. I find myself having to climb lil’ hills when I stamp and that is such a great tip. Your card is beautiful, as always!

I absolutely LOVED this challenge. I entered twice, and I love both projects I made. I love this technique and the beautiful rosettes made by using this technique. I have been back here on the blog NUMEROUS times today, and on Faceboook as well, but cannot find anywhere that tells who this week’s winner is. I will keep on checking, but I’m quite sure I didn’t miss it. I keep looking.
Thanks,
