Hi all...
It's official. I need to invest in a new die cutter. I have the Sizzix Big Shot, which I've owned for years and abused it for much of that time... If you had an unlimited budget...what would you get? Not that I do mind you, but I like to think big!
This die set is why I need a new die cutter. Its a great set from Altenew, just released in August. It's called Whimsically Wild and is so fun, it even has a matching stamp set and stencil. I used just the die set for this card and it nearly killed me...
This delicate die set is perfect for the idea I originally had for this. HOWEVER...my die cutter was NOT cooperating! 1,000 different shim combinations, and it was 80% cut out. I just used my scissors for the rest. Incredibly frustrating!
I love the simple layout with the simple image, I am entering it in the DT call for CAS on Friday, and the current Less is More challenge
Have a colorful day!

Kristin, I love your card - but have had this issue with many of the intricate dies like this one. Many times, it is the DIE itself that is the problem - but more often it is the plates - are yours beyond their prime perhaps?

Super make, gotta love a splatter too

Glad you stuck with it and ended up using scissors in the end - it came out beautiful. I just invested in an Anna Griffin empress - worth every penny I spent on it. Thanks for playing over at LIM.
So pretty! Thanks for playing along with us at Less Is More!
