Back to Basics - Nesting dies 💜

Hi, Crafty Friends

Hope you are well and happy. 💖 Today I have two projects just to show you the versatility of the  Nesting  Die Sets. They are a must-have for any crafter enthusiastic.  They came with plain, stitched, torn en the edge and scalloped, you’ll have great fun creating many different looks with them.

They are awesome for matting and layering but also perfect for making, frames, apertures, shaker cards and more. Mix it with any of other circle nestings dies like scalloped; plain and torn edges for alternative styles.


Use you nesting dies for matting and layering to get a fab, eye-catching dimension.






Combine the nesting dies to get really cool apertures or frames for your shaker cards as this example.
