I really like how Betsy turned the tagged sentiment on her card into a circle.
Making a bead bracelet to match a card would be awesome. Some great designs and ideas.

I liked this idea when you showed it at Stamp-a-faire. So pleased I can now purchase it!
What a lovely idea! Paper beading is so much fun. I love that there is a die to cut those strips for us!
I love the new products and ideas that are coming out. Thank you for all the detail instructions and inspirations.
I like the designs on the paper and there were some great examples of card layouts using it as well as the dies to make some interesting backgrounds for the focal point. The paper would be just the right size pattern for paper piecing too. Nice color combinations!
Thank you for offering the die and paper for making beads!
I love the ideas I’m seeing, especially Erin’s snowflake.
Love the bead dies and the paper pads. As always you and the team made awesome projects. Love the idea of a bracelet and card to match. What a cute gift idea. Thank you for the chance to win.

AWESOME IDEA!!! SUCH AMAZING PRODUCTS IN THIS RELEASE! THANKS
My cart is going to be full tonight!! I’ve loved everything you’ve released this month – I’m so excited to place my order!
I’ve never considered making jewelry, but the paper packs for the Beautiful Beads are so lovely… I may give it a try. The nice thing is that if it’s not for me, I can still use the paper on my cards!
I can see my daughter and her friends making beads for hours. This will be a great winter activity for them.
So fun to see the Beautiful Beads product line used on cards and other non-jewelry projects too! The paper patters are so pretty.
Great idea! Can’t wait to try it….
Amazing!!!! Love this idea!!! Great activity for girls!!!
This paper bracelet is excellent idea !
I can’t seem to leave anything out of my basket tonight!!! The hardest time when I’ll have to choose…. ;-(
I’m really excited about the paper and dies for bead making. So pretty.
Absolutely gorgeous…love to see the beads and all the card projects made with it too!
You are killing my hopes of having an “on-budget” month! So much random goodness!
And calendars, too??? Yikes!
I just love all the holiday inspiration!
Love that you can use the die to make sunbeams and many other designs as well!
What fun! The granddaughters would have a ball with these. Thanks for a chance to win.
These are so unbelievably cute! I would love to try my hand at making paper beads!
Love the bead die. With a 5 year old girl I am sure to get lots of use out of this one. Fun ideas too!!
I need that pink paper pad! I love the designs.
Can’t wait to start making paper beads! It’s going to be a great project for my daughter!
Love everyone’s bracelets and cards made with the paper bead die. They are fabulous. Going to have to try these out with my girls.
Wow! This has been quite a release! I love the paper beads and plan to make a few of the bracelets for Christmas for the girls in my life. Great job DT! 🙂
Ohh I love this! I have made paper beads in the past but none so pretty as these! Love the way the designers used the papers on the cards too! Thanks for the chance to win!
These bracelets will make such cute gifts, and I like the ideas for card-making too.
Love these – the die makes it so easy and the paper is wonderful. (I am hoping this is ultra popular and you might consider releasing papers in other colorways – and dies that make different shape beads so we can build a whole collection).
The dt really showed off how versatile this die really is. Beautiful.
My mom is going to love this bracelet die!!! She saw a bracelet in a quilting store with rolled fabric beads and was going to make it, but hasn’t gotten around to cutting out the fabric. So this die will help speed up the cutting process! Thanks for sharing your talents with us!
I have a paper bead necklace that my grammie & I made when I was in elementary school…still wear it …so obviously I love this!!! Although your papers are much more beautiful. We were thrifty and used her old Sears catalogs LOL 🙂
I’ve never tried jewelry making but this seems easy to do with the die and papers. I think I’ll give it a try.
Beaded bracelets and a matching card would be awesome for a gift. The beads made into a Christmas ornament was beautiful too.
I’ve got to pull that die out and use it to make a card. And here I thought I didn’t need it and wouldnt make another bracelet…!
I love these patterned paper packs and the beautiful jewelry and cards created with the whole suite of products. Such wonderful inspiration from Nichole and the whole design team.
Fun! I used to make these kinds of beads in 7th grade. Thanks for the trip down memory lane 🙂
Love that you showed the versatility of the bead die. It just might have to go in the shopping cart now.
Oh my goodness! Those papers are just beautiful and what amazing jewelry everyone made!!!
Wow!!! What a great idea I love the concept of using the die to make beads .
Ok, I’m actually surprised at how awesome the CARDS are made with the beautiful beads die – now that’s versatility!
wow making jewelry out of paper, love it thanks for a chance to win!
Erin’s snowflake is awesome! I can’t wait to make some for my tree!
PTI thinks of everything!
The bead die is such a great idea. The projects look great, especially the snowflake ornament.
Love the beads paper on cards!
This paper bead idea is amazing!!! Love this idea for a girl birthday party!!
I love the paper beads!
I wondered what the beautiful beads was all about when first mentioned at the beginning of the sneak peeks. I am amazed! Really quite simple to do and really lovely.
Some really inspirational ideas! I cannot wait to get my hand on the new heart-2-heart additions and the hexagon set. Waiting eagerly until 10pm!
Love that you showed how the die and papers are multi-purpose. Can’t wait to make some bracelets for my friends!
Awesome! I especially love the new paper pads!
At first sight the Beautiful Beads didn’t excite me… but of course these clever designers know their stuff and there is a lot more to it ! The clincher for me was Daniele’s sunburst effect.
Great projects! I esp. love Erin’s snowflake ornament and how several of the DT used the triangles on their cards.
What a clever idea for gifts to make your own beads, coordinating card and wrap the gift using the party favor die and tissue paper. The DT cards using the bead die & awesome paper packs are just so clever. Another fabulous release by PTI again this month!
I love seeing how everyone took this into different places!
Oh, how pretty these beads are. And the paper pads are perfect for card making!
Wow! I am in awe of all of the projects created by the beautiful beads collection. Thanks for all the great products. Can’t wait to order!
A great big thanks to all the DTs for working so hard to make such fabulous projects. I know we all appreciate it. My head is swimming from all the ideas. I was on the fence about the bead dies but after seeing Jessica’s bracelet, you won me over. So many great ideas from all those talented women!
Great idea! Thanks.
Very cute!! Most of all I LOVE the paper!!
My grandchildren were staying with me during stamp affaire and we made bracelets out of the beads we rolled. What treasured memories. Christmas is a perfect time to give beaded gifts to their teachers.
You girls are amazing! I see the Perfect Bead die and think beads…that’s it. I really need to start thinking outside the box! The card creations the team made with the die and paper were beautiful!
Wow, I LOVE creating stick pins with glass and pearl beads, but I never though of using paper before! What a terrific idea! All the projects are so pretty, and I would never guess they were made out of paper!
I know a lot of people that would totally love a pretty matching bracelet with a card! Man you guys think of everything!!!
Cannot WAIT to try making these as jewelry and ornaments! It is SO up my alley 🙂
I love how the beads looks like with the Beautiful Beads paper. I’m especially fond of the green/blue paper pack!
This release is amazing!!
What endless ideas! Just when you think a product release can’t be beat, Nicole and the PTI team prove you wrong!
PTI thinks of everything!
I had so much fun making these with my daughter!
I just love these paper bead bracelets!! Love all of the projects this month, some hard decisions to make!!
That die can be used in so many ways. Great idea.
Such fantastic and original ideas, got to love the multi-functional long triangular die!
Penny H
Wow! Who knew paper could be so fashionable! Love it and I love the way everyone used the die to create a card! So clever!
I’ve never made paper beads, but evidently a lot of other people have. Loved seeing all the inspiration, and thanks for the chance to win a gift certificate!
Wow, PTI never runs out of innovative ideas!
OMG!!!!cant wait to get this in my hands
The concept of the bead die is genius! and totally love how the DT used it to create stunning backgrounds!

I love the snowflake. What a great idea. I remember making beads like this as a kid. Great ideas!
Fabulous projects!!
I have always wanted to try this!
Love the patterned paper and the bracelet idea. What a great gift to give.
I just taught this technique to my elementary-aged students this summer and they loved it. It is so nice to see great classics like this being modernized.
I didn’t think these would interest me at all…but wow! What cute gifts these would make! And my boys could help me!
I didn’t think I needed the beaded die or the Snowflake set, and then I saw Erin’s snowflake using a combination of these! I love the way she created something so unexpected. WOW!!
Love the paper beads! Thanks so much for making it quick and easy with the die and coordinating papers!! Thanks, also, for another great release…all the projects have been beautiful!
I just love the patterns and color of the beautiful beads papers! The dt knocked it out of the park with their projects and cards using these dies and papers!
Such a cool concept! Love!
Love those long triangles – great way to use up scraps of paper with beautiful results!
Oh, My!! This will be so fun to do with my girls! They’ll love it! I can see us making lots of these for party favors, and Christmas presents, and rainy day crafts. Thank you! Thank you!
I love the paper and die for the beautiful beads, but I can see myself using them more in cardmaking.
I love Erin’s snowflake and Heather’s card using the bead dies!! Great ideas from the DT. My girls would love doing something like this!
I love that paper bead bracelet! Having a die is a great idea.
Loved that snowflake ornament that Erin made with this set of dies and also Cristina’s card was wonerful. Thanks to the design team for all the great ideas in using these dies other than jewelry. Terrific inspiration in today’s post.
WOW! More amazing projects from the incredible DT.
Paper beads!?! How fun!!!
Wow! Didn’t think I was going to want this but now that I have seen al of the possibilities, it is moving to the top of my wish list!
I’ve never done jewelry before but I bet it would be fun to do with my DD12 and her friends!
I LOVE the paper beads!! What a FUN idea!!!
Just add another reason to LOVE PTI… JEWELRY!
FUN FUN FUN!!
Have a GREAT day!
I begin my Christmas projects in September. The kids are back in school and I have some time to myself. My palette is traditional green and red. Looking forward to incorporating this months designs into my projects :}
Oh, these look amazing! I am thinking of making a whole batch of them to sell as a fundraiser for my upcoming mission trip to DR Congo.
I love the paper beads and can’t wait to play with them. I am imagining they will be a great project to work together with a special little girl I know!
I’m overwhelmed with the ideas presented this month — so much inspiration — so little time. Thanks, Nicole!
Jean
LOVE the bracelets! How cool!
What a great deal for a FABULOUS result !! Can’t wait to add this to my jewelry making kit !Thanks for the opportunity !
I love the versatility of the Beautiful Beads die. Beautiful projects presented using this collection.
Amazing bracelets! Love the papers – hope to see more colors!!!
I love the die that makes cutting precise and speedy. Such a wonderful craft for kids to make gifts for friends and relatives. Thanks for sharing all the inspiring samples great job design team and Nichole.
What beautiful project done with the bead die and paper. I love Erin’s ornament she did with this die.
This would allow my daughter to die cut her own paper for the beads!!! I usually cut them for her because of the blade. She would sooo love this with the freedom to die cut her papers whenever she wanted to make a bracelet. I love the patterned backgrounds made with them. Lovely.
How fun!
OH MY you just SOLD me on these paper beads…My eight yare old daughter will LOVE making these for friends…another gift found!
Such a great idea to use papers to make your beads, the designs are endless. Thank you for sharing!
Pretty colors and patterns.
Cool new die! I like how it was showcased on cards too.
Wow, these look so versatile! I especially love Erin’ snowflake ornament!
Chris L.
Wow, everything is so amazing. Beautiful products. How will I ever decide…
Such beautiful jewelry and lovely cards with the bead dies! Thanks for such wonderful inspiration!
What a great project for girls to make with their mom’s. SO fun!!
I love the versatility of the triangle dies – beads and card-making, too! So many possibilities!
I really like the idea of being able to make beads as well as using the beautiful paper for cards!
Those are some beautiful projects. I especially like the blue green papers.
The paper bracelets are all so pretty and I am amazed by all the different ways the bead dies can be used on cards. What a great group post!
I’ve been seeing a lot of paper bracelets on Pinterest and look and beyond you come up with the die to make them! Thank you so much! Love all of the DT creations!
I am a little bit nervous to try making beads, but all these projects look so fun. Gonna have to think about what I have in my craft closet that I could use to make bracelets if I get brave and order the die.
So clever! This is such a great idea! Love all of the creations!
Love these projects and the template for creating the paper strips, particularly for creating cards. I’m looking forward to trying many of these projects, especially Erin’s snowflake.
Nice to see these paper pads hit the store! Love the patterns, and especially love the blue & green combo.
What a brilliant idea, love the bead die and paper!! It’s genius!!
I love the versatility of this product. Thanks for sharing all your ideas with us.
I like the bead bracelets and could see my teenage daughter definitely enjoying making these for her BFs. I really like the way many DT members used the die as a background on cards.
What fun projects! My niece would love making paper beads and friendship bracelets.
I LOVE the bead bracelet die! What a great way to make something handmade that looks beautiful. This is definitely on my list of things to buy this month!
Totally LOVE the paper beads die & papers — a FABULOUS idea for creating one-of-kind gifts!!!
Love all the amazing ideas from the DT, especially Jess’s and Maile’s. Those pieces of jewelry were gorgeous!
Again such cool Ideas – love the selfemade beads!
Great idea of making this die!! Paper bead projects are Gorgeous!! This die will come handy for lots of stuff!
I’ve had the Beads die and the Pink papers, I haven’t use the much. I’m not into bead making, so I appreciate the designers using this die on cards.
The beads are beautiful andI really like the die cuts unrolled too. I love the bracelet for the girls in our junior church class and for my granddaughters when they get older.
I have to admit, that when I saw these previewed, I wasn’t sold on them. But now after seeing all the projects, I have totally changed my mind. Jess Witty’s bracelet, I am like, I can do that. So we are doing to give it a try. Plus, I loved seeing all the beautiful cards.
And this is why I am addicted to PTI!! You never cease to amaze me with all your wonderful new products and ideas and this month is simply the best. Love the new bead die and papers!
I liked Erin’s project using the beads in an ornament…great possibilities with these little items!
These look like so much fun to make. And I love how the DT used the die on their card too. Great idea.
Making my own beads for my jewelry just got so much easier…thank you!
I’m inspired by those long “rays”!
Jewelry making & card making – two of my favorite things!! Can’t wait to try making my own paper beads!
I feel in love with the beautiful bead dies and paper as soon as you showed what was to be included in stampafaire. I can’t wait to play with them in person. Love the options the DT showcased – beautiful and inspirational.
I love the idea of using the paper beads to make ornaments. I can already picture the snowflake and tree versions. Maybe a pine one too. They will be nice a d lightweight, and I can add as much color and glitter as I like.
I may have to give bead making a try. I have never made anything like this.
I love that the dies and beautiful papers can be used for so much more than just beads! Thanks for showing us the versatility!
I love the idea of creating my own beads from paper. You have come up with a very clever idea!
All the projects look great! Wow how do I decide which ones to get?
I make jewelery of a non-paper kind, and I have to say, this set is SO intriguing!! Can’t wait to explore the rest of the DT’s creations with it.
Another wonderful countdown. Lots of decisions to be made for my shopping cart.
I didn’t think I needed those dies, but YES I DO! LOVE the rays they create 🙂
these bracelets are too great. right now i barely have time to make cards but i think this would be a great birthday or Christmas gift for my niece. thanks.
I have been waiting for the bead die since you first previewed it this summer! I love the whole concept and all that you can make with these beads.
The beads are a fun idea but I love the creative projects made with the die cut triangles!
So cute, I will make one for all the special gals in my life with a little “I Love You”charm so they will have a reminder when they wear it. So unique!
You’ve sold me on this! The bracelets all look terrific and I think it’s really neat that you can use the die separately for card making, too.
Sounds fun and I like that the team showed so many ways to use the die
I’m loving Erin’s snowflake ornament idea! That may have sold me on getting this die!
Beads? I thought. Not necessary. Then I saw Christina’s project. Think again. Awesome.
Your design team is just awesome – so many great ideas for the Beautiful Beads dies!
Super cool snowflake set and beads!
I’m constantly in awe of what u gals come up with. I don’t ever have to go anywhere else because everything I could possibly want or need is right here:)
Once again, the design team wows me! Fun to see the set used on other than jewelry too.
This is such an awesome idea to make a very nice gift that is cheap but looks like you paid a lot for it!!
Thank you for all the wonderful inspiration.
I love PTI!
Wow! All the projects made from the bead dies today are amazing! What fun to see all the creativity! NICE surprise PTI!
I was a jewelry maker before I began scrapbooking and card making. I love this!
Love that the bead die has applications for cards and other projects too!
This is very innovative! Can’t wait to try this out, while using the die for card making is another marvelous idea!
What a great idea. Homemade jewelry is so fun to make. This new die just made it more fun and easy!
Now I can make Christmas cards and gifts to go inside them! Love the paper beads!
I think my granddaughter would love the bead set! Knowing you can make bracelets is one thing, but cards and cute snowflake ornaments?! Fabulous!
I really love what the designers did this month. Such talented young ladies! Thank you for sharing your creativity.
Oh my, my Christmas list is growing. I love all the $15 stamp sets.
What a great idea! I never tried making jewelry before but that may change.
I love how the design team used the bead dies to do backgrounds for cards. Beautiful work, and wonderful ideas. 🙂
Great projects! So happy that Beautiful Beads is now available to everyone. 😉
As usual, the countdown is exciting and very inspiring.
I love all of the new ideas to make with the bead die and papers! The entire PTI design team is awesome!!!!
I tried making these once. Couldn’t get them right. I’m sure a die would help enormously.
Eveline.
The beads totally take me back to my girl scout days! 🙂 Love, love, love the pattern paper! Using the die with cards is really thinking outside the box.
Can’t wait for the bead products tonight. They look like so much fun. I can’t wait to use the dies for cards too, all kinds of ideas floating in my head!
Leave it to the talented DT to make me want something I never thought I’d ever consider. Great colorful projects.
Love the beads!
Just love all the different ways everyone used the dies and papers.
Great idea. Looks like a lot of fun to make.
What a fantastic idea and who would have thought the beads were made from paper?
So fun. I’ve always thought about trying these, but honestly I didn’t want to take the time to cut all the papers…I know it isn’t hard..I’m just a bit lazy when it comes to that I guess. And I actually love the cards and other projects created with the dies the most. I think these dies are going to be a great addition to my crafting supplies.
How cute! I remember making these as a little girl with all my friends!
Great release! Can’t wait until tonight!
Great projects! What fun this would be with the kids!
Loving all of the great ideas.
It’s a good life!
Terri E.
I love the jewelry, but I think i’ll stick to card making with those great patterned papers. No time to add another hobby. : ) Thanks for the chance to win!
This looks like such an easy way to make those trendy fun starburst cards! 🙂
FUN! I love to make jewelry! Love this!
These beads are so much fun to make. I made some with my granddaughters on our visit with them. My grandson even enjoyed rolling them. Such fun and creative idea.
Cards and fun jewelry? My two favorites!!
I love how you sized down the paper designs to work with the size of the beads and made the paper size and dies work together for the least amount of waste. You put tons of thought into your products and it shows and is really appreciated by your customers!
These are just gorgeous! I love how you can make something so elegant looking with basic supplies!
I have been anxiously awaiting the blue and green bead paper…can’t wait to get my hands on it!
Oh my goodness! What an unexpected and pleasant surprise this post was!!! I can DEFINITELY see myself crafting up tons of bracelets, necklaces, etc. for myself and for gifts! Beaded jewellery is so in fashion right now!
Wow! Those bracelets are so pretty!! Would love to try making one.
Wonderful projects!! Love the snowflake ornament by Erin!!
What a great product! Love how they can also be used for cards.
I love how each bracelet looks so different with each roll of the paper – so pretty!
I live these projects so much fun!
R
All the projects are gorgeous but I think Erin’s snowflake ornament is my favourite! I love that it’s so simple to make too!
I just love the lighter weight of this paper to use to embellish!
Wow! That is so cool!
So creative! Love the jewelry you can create with this – and Erin’s Xmas ornament project is a keeper too.
Thanks for the ideas!
Love this idea! Not sure I can see myself doing he paper beads, but the dies work so well for other layout and card ideas. Awesome!
I love the beautiful beads dies. Not only for making beads. I love how those shapes look great for card designing.
Very cute! Love the paper bead idea very clever.
Oh wow – who knew you could do that? I didn’t! Love these ideas.
What I find so amazing…how beautiful the paper makes into beads. It doesn’t even look like paper!
This is such a great idea, and so perfect for something kids can do! What a great month of projects!
This is why I love PTI, so many fun new ways to be creative are shared each month! Thank you!
Oh, so cool! I saw these with the stamp-a-faire already and loved the idea! It looks great and makes a wonderful gift! Love it!
These papers are gorgeous. I am thinking that they would work well for origami.
Beautiful Beads is a great idea. I’ve always wanted to make paper beads but wasn’t sure I would get the triangles all the right size. Now I don’t have to worry!
Great new products…I especially love all the new dies and button stamps. Not sure I would ever make a bracelet but absolutely love the die for cards…thanks for another great release!!!
I love the bead dies and the cute paper pads. I think the idea of a bracelet and card to match is such a cute gift idea!
Love it. I have been making these for a while but this wil make it so much easier!! Great ideas too!!
What a gread addition to the PTI Line!
I was so excited to see the cards made with the Beads die! Double duty craft tool that is absolutely necessary!
What a clever idea! Love the paper patterns!
They are lovely projects – really want to try the paper bead making. Would be lovely to do with my daughter
I loved making these type of beads as a kid, cut out from my mom’s magazines. Unfortunately, keeping them consistent in size was impossible! PTI has streamlined this fun project, and I am so excited to make new beads with my kids!! Loved Jessica’s triple strand bracelet!
Everyone on the DT made incredible bracelets! I can’t wait to try my hand at these for gifts.
I’ve made paper beads before, but this die makes it so much easier! Thanks for the inspiration!
The beads are great, but I especially like seeing the ideas for making cards with these triangles.
I love the paper bead die! So many fun uses.
Oh boy..I thought I had a pretty in control shopping list this release; but these new pretties just blew it out of the water!!! You’re killing me Papertrey Ink 🙂

Nice new die. So many possibilities.
OMG…..loving it all!!! You guys are so amazing with all your ideas, love PTI!! Thanks for sharing!!
What a great idea! The paper bracelets are beautiful!
Matching bead bracelet and card – what a great gift idea!
During Stamp-a-faire I liked the Paper Beads but wasn’t sure I would ever do it. Seeing it used for cards also gives me more ideas, and who knows, I may make jewelry too.
I thought I wouldn’t need or want the Beautiful Beads die and paper but after seeing all the great projects of the design team the die and papers are going on my list of goodies for tonight.
This is a must have! My eleven year old daughter will love this!
I have been waiting for something like this wonderful Beautiful Beads die…just didn’t know that you could red my mind! Beautiful bracelets, love the ornament idea and the card fronts are spectacular! Thanks for the awesome ideas!
I’m thinking that the Beautiful Bead set would make a great gift for my 10 year old niece, then we could make jewelry together!
The bead paper and die are really clever.I also really love the Happiest of Holidays set. You can never have too many sentiments for your hand-made Christmas cards!
I can’t believe I almost missed this post!!! Paper bracelets are beautiful. 🙂
All of the Beautiful Bead projects made by the Design Team are lovely! Love that paper, too!
Amazing release! I love seeing everyone’s projects. My daughter will LOVE making her own beads. Great idea!
Erin’s snowflake ornament is adorable! What a fun and different way to use the beads. I have the dies from stamp a Faire and have had a great time making the bracelets. The ornament will be a fun project to try too!
Love seeing these products used for beads AND cards–great ideas!
What a great idea. No more irregular beads that don’t match. Love the papers. Very pretty color combinations.
So many great projects and ideas!!
Outstanding bloghop.
So great to actually have the die for the bracelet! Wonderful idea as usual. You think of everything Nichole.
Classic beads paper pads are just so beautiful, love making bracket of out paper! Awesome!!!!!
Wow! I love how you can use these dies for so many purposes! So fun!
Love the many ways to use this die. Quick and easy bracelets and wonderful cards ideas!
I LOVE the beautiful beads die! Love the whole concept of making my own beads and I L.O.V.E. all the cards the DT made with it! So versatile!
wow. such a beautiful idea. I love those beads.
Love the paper bracelets. Made some a few years ago and it took forever, this die will make things so much easier!
I love crafts that I can do with my 10 year old daughter and the paper beads are perfect! We can make quality looking gifts with them. Thanks!
Love how this post brings back SO MANY AWESOME memories from SAF!!!
Thanks for sharing the fun ideas for using the Beautiful Beads set both for jewelry and for cards (and ornaments too)! Will be great ideas for holiday gifts using the set I got for Stamp A Faire!
I was like “what??” at first but after seeing all of the beautiful projects I am definitely getting that die. So cool and looks like it is a fun and easy project!

Love how everyone used the die for card making. Didn’t think I needed this until I saw all the cards. Now I know I need it 😉
What a neat idea! Added bonus that these products are great to use for so many different projects!
Love the bracelets!!
I used to love making these when I was little! This might make the result more consistant however. I like the graphic look of the triangles used on the cards.
I love all the fun designs you can make on cards with these dies (as well as the cute beads) – the team have shown some great options today.
The Beautiful Beads paper is GORGEOUS and I love how the design team used the die cuts on cards!
I love how unique this product is. The jewelry made using it looks great as do the cards. To say it’s versatile is an understatement!
Love how versatile the dies are in this set! Can’t wait to use these.
I appreciate all the card projects using these dies along with the beaded bracelets and other projects. So anxious to give this a try.
I love the color combinations of the patterned paper packs.
Having bought the tote bag during this year’s stamp-A-Faire event, I already have the dies and paper for the bracelet. But I love them and the amazing jewelry you can produce with them.
I first learned of this craft while working at The Children’s Museum in Boston while working Grandmother’s Attic exhibit many moons ago…love it in a die to do with my daughters…it’s so easy and beautiful. Thank you!
So much fun! I hvae done just a tiny bit of jewelry making but it’s so much fun. Such a great idea to incorporate paper crafting and jewelry making – two fun hobbies. And the fact that the paper and dies can be used for other projects is an added bonus!
Great ideas, as always!
Can’t wait to try making these bracelets with my two girls!
I didn’t think that the die could be used to make anything but paper beads but love the cards and esp. Erin’s ornament with it! I’ll be ordering the blue and green paper bad tonight.
Thanks for designing such versatile products!
Those paper beads are fabulous! Such a great idea and could probably be done with just about any paper! Love it!
I’ve been partial to bracelets ever since I was a kid (I still have and occasionally wear one I received back when I was in the 2nd grade). As I also love beads (dating back to the 1960’s) and paper (a current passion), it is no wonder that I find the idea of paper bracelets so charming. I must give them a try!
Ooh I am excited these are going up for all to buy yay! Lesley
Very exciting month, I am now getting a bit more excited for the Holiday season!!
The friendship beads are such a fun gift idea. I can’t wait to try it myself!
Fantastic idea!! Can’t wait to get my hands on this product! Useful for cards too.
wow I love this . Will make a really nice gift . I love it.
I remember years ago when i first made paper bead and I had to cut the triangles out by hand….but now there is a die for that. Love the idea I can also can be used for cards
……….the paper bracelets are really beautiful….I love the patterned paper!
So excited about this release! Can’t to to get my hands on some of these goodies!
My favorite stamp sets are the house ones. Love that you’re releasing dies for Boards & Beams and Home for the Holidays!!!
Loving the bracelets and yes, these would make great Christmas presents. Love all the other ideas with the die also.
