I hope that you have all had the chance to see Becca's newest addition to her Candlewick Sampler set that just came out and have also had the chance to maybe add a few to your collection. Today i have a few more ideas to share for a little more inspiration with the new rectangles die set.
As we pick from the newest dies on the market, we often find that sometimes the best dies are the ones that you can use in simple ways and get the most milage from. The newest candlewick dies each have a beautiful raised candlewick design pattern that gives you a rather an amazing result with very little effort. And wow you really have to love that.
For my card i used the 2 largest sizes of the die and 2 shades of pink patterned paper to create a subtle shadow effect and really make the top piece pop more. These 2 pieces i layered over light ivory cardstock so that the details of the die would stand out more and used 3D foam dots to separate the layers.
I stamped the sentiment with a subtle brown ink and used a Penny Black stamp set from my stash. And I kept it simple and used a piece of silk ribbon across the base and added a sweet bow at the side with a button that matches the ink that i chose for the sentiment. And to finish it i just added a few small pearls on the top piece to make it just a little bit fancier. So simple ... yet so pretty!
This is what the die set looks like. You can make all the shapes that you see above and the base pieces to go under them or to create a back round.

And i also created this pretty gift box using the same die and added the new Candlewick Petticoats die for the front of it. I love to make fancy boxes to put in little gifts and gift cards and this was really fun and easy to make using some great dotted paper and white cardstock to cut the dies from.
And one last very important thing for our APG team..... We have a brand new Guest Designer and she is super talented. Her name is Elena Ivanova-Dineva and she is creating lots of magical things for us this month with Becca's dies so be sure and stop by her blog this month for some amazing inspiration.... https://elenashandmadecards.blogspot.com/
That's all for today but i hope to see you back soon!
