Friday Die Day

Hello friends

 This week for Friday Die Day I'm featuring the new
Cinch and Go Flowers


The set comes with 6 die pieces (4 flowers are joined as one die)
and the approximate sizes are:

Flourish 1: 3.60 x 0.90 inches
Flourish 2: 3.85 x 1.20 inches
Calyx: 1.20 x 1.20 inches
Flower 1: 0.90 x 0.85 inches
Flower 2: 1.15 x 1.05 inches
Flower 3: 1.35 x 1.25 inches
Flower 4: 1.60 x 1.45 inches
Flower 5: 1.70 x 1.80 inches
Flower 6: 1.90 x 2.00 inches
This is how they look cut/embossed.
There are various methods to make the flowers, I chose to use a pretty beaded pin
as my flower centre and layer up the flowers through the hole in the middle.
Alternatively you could thread a bead onto wire or perhaps use a brad.


As I threaded each flower I put a fine line of glue between
and squeezed the petals up gently.


I've added one of each layer but you can of course add as many as you wish.

If you are making these for a vase then place the calyx on the reverse.


Also using this die to cut finer card/paper you can scrunch them to make
a more vintage look or perhaps spritz with mists.

For my project I've used one of the flourish pieces and placed the 
flower on a Square Petal Top Box.

Simple, effective and fun!
 

Cinch and Go Flowers are due in stock next week
(according to that boy of mine).

Take care friends - wishing you all a wonderful weekend.

  13. ARGH...NO...don't show me any more fantastic new dies, Christine!!! This one has gone onto my Hope & Chances wish list along with the woodland collection lol. Thanks so much for showing how you put them together. I keep thinking I'll get a nice big flower order from Wild Orchid Crafts but then I think that, even though the dies are an initial expense, it's going to work out a LOT cheaper in the long run to make my own and I can use whatever card or paper I want to make sure it matches the card I'm making. Watch out, Elliott, there will be another order coming from me in the near future lol.
