Hello, I bought this lawn fawn die recently, as I often need quick cards,
I love paper piecing, and this seemed a fab idea.
Lots of different pics to share….
This group shot shows how you can cut two and switch the letters.
Sometimes you need to inlay additional bits to the letters, so I kept all the pieces until I’d finished.
Above picture, bottom right might be my favourite.
I coloured the letters and used the frame as a guide to glue them down.
Above was very messy, a fail as the die moved but I didn’t want to waste it.
I should have added some of the inside lines of the letters.
However this will probably end up in the bin.
I did like the striped paper one though.
As it’s the first time I’ve used this die, I’m entering the NBUS Challenge #49
Thanks for stopping by, I really appreciate your visits and comments.

WOW - you have had lots of fun with your new HB die. Fab for quick makes. My fave is the pastel lettered one. Xxx
ReplyDeleteWhat a splendid die that is and you've certainly had a good play with it making these interesting variations. Patience needed to use all the pieces to their best advantage but well worth the effort.
ReplyDeleteI can just tell from your words how much you enjoyed your play with this die, Lesley, and all the results (even the 'fail') are fantastic! I'll bet you love jigsaw puzzles! I do and this type of creative session really appeals to me ... especially since it's a wonderful way to replenish your card stash and the design works for any gender and any age! Bonus! Thank you for inspiring everyone at NBUS! Hugs, Darnell
ReplyDeleteWell I think it's safe to say you've been having a great time with your new die pal! Fabulous cards! Hugs, Vicky xxx
ReplyDeleteI resisted this die, but might change my mind now I've seen how much fun you've had with it. Great makes.
