That dang Jennifer Mcguire...

Post by Trixie »

After purging and cleaning my craft room I promised I would not buy any new craft supplies ever. :roll: Then I watched a youtube showing this die and before I knew it I had signed up for the Spellbinders monthly die club so I could get it. Honestly, the card took hours to make (picture me sitting in bed this morning at 1:30 am sewing), but it was enjoyable and it makes me happy.

My color is off. It is much prettier in person. The mat is like a chalkboard, the card pale grey and the stitching more colorful.

You'll enjoy that kit club. I get that and also got it for Peggy. I just got mine in today's mail so I haven't tried it yet.

Pam C, I can bring it to re(create) and you can cut some.

Thank you.

Debi, that is good to hear. I am not a slimline fan (mostly because I don't want to buy a bunch of new stuff), but this will work on a 5x7, too. For $15 it was worth a try. You may need to use a lint roller. It cuts well, but all those little dots wanted to stay in the die. My rolling brush didn't help. Also, I glued 2 together and sewed thru both.

This is lovely, Judy. I've never heard of dies that do "prick and stitch" before. What a great idea, the pricking takes forever to do, and is tough on the wrist too!

I saw that die, too, Judy. It was so tempting to join. I would be curious to know all that comes in a kit and is there a time commitment.

Your card is beautiful!

Beki, it is just the die. This is actually the SMALL die of the month club. There is a large die of the month club, too. The die is just a tad under 7 inches long, so it really isn't that small. It is $15 a month and no time commitment. It says you can even skip up to 3 months if you want. I have a black one cut out and I am going to do that one next.

Beautiful, Judy! Is the THANKS part of the die or did you cut that out and layer it on top?

Holy smokes! That is fantastic! I only have one problem with that card - I can't imagine letting it leave the house!!! LOL.

Seriously though - what a work of art.

Marianne, the letters are separate (7 dies total).

Julie, I am dying to send it to someone. I would love a die like this that says HAPPY or BIRTHDAY or HELLO. I send out more birthday and thinking of you cards than anything else.

It's too bad that the center of the die isn't more versatile. I had a close look at it on their website. I think I'd be cutting the floral sections off the white background "thanks" or mounting a rectangular piece of paper over the center then adding my own words stamped or diecut if I didn't want THANKS.

Thanks, Judy! I’ve been eyeing that die for a while. I like “no commitment” clubs. I’ll give it a try.
