Sneak Peek: February 2024 Dies
Good morning! It’s Lindsey here today, and I am excited to give you a sneak peek of the fabulous new dies releasing this month. There are so many! I know you are going to love them.
New release will be available February 7th
I am a HUGE fan of the Big Valentine Cupcake Die Set that released last month, and I was delighted to see another cupcake release this month in the same fabulous size and scale. The Big Birthday Cupcake Dies have so much to offer! You’ll find a new cupcake shape, new cupcake wrap pattern, fabulous banner + sentiment, and fun extras.
Using the new Big Birthday Cupcake Dies, I created a yummy cupcake with chocolate ganache and sprinkles on top. And of course, a little birthday candle (from the Interactive Cake Dies) to top it off.
The background was created using the Star Cover Plate and the Pierced Stars Plate. (Love them both!) Two of the star cut outs from the Star Cover Plate made perfect little cookies to sweeten the card just a bit more. And since this card is going to my niece, I personalized one of the new Party Balloons with her age by using the number dies found in the Graduation Mug Additions.
The finishing touch was the fabulous banner from the Big Birthday Cupcake Dies.
Okay, I have to admit that when I first saw the Big Birthday Cupcake Dies, I immediately wanted to turn them into a giant stack of ice cream…so I did! Say hello to card number two!
The only thing I needed to find was an ice cream cone…aaand the largest party hat in the new Party Hat Dies worked fabulously! :) (And just FYI, the Fruit Bowl Dies would be perfect for making an ice cream sundae. Definitely on my list of to-do’s!)
To create the cone, I die cut the party hat, and then I ran it back through the machine twice using the cupcake liner die to add the stitched detail. By rotating the die in the opposite direction with each pass I was able to create an overlapping stitched pattern. The cute sentiment is the script portion of the new Happy Birthday Shadow Die.
I also added glossy accents which makes the chocolate fudge dripping down look good enough to eat. This giant stack of ice cream wouldn’t be complete without a cherry on top, so I added one courtesy of the Valentine Mug Additions. Finally, the previously released Layered Confetti Stencils seemed the perfect way to add a little somethin’ to the background.
For my last card I wanted to give you a peek of as many of the new die sets as I could, so I used them to create a fun birthday background. This also shows how beautifully and seamlessly the dies all work together.
This card showcases the new Birthday Candles, Party Balloons, and Party Hats all of which come in a variety of shapes and designs, many with stitched details. I also added stars from the Star Cover Plate as well as a small stitched star from the Big Birthday Cupcake Dies.
For my sentiment I used the Happy Birthday Shadow dies again, but this time I used both layers.
Thanks so much for joining me today! I hope that my cards have gotten you excited for the may new dies releasing this month. I’m curious…which die is your favorite??
Make sure to come back tomorrow to see more sneak peeks. You are going to love what’s coming up next!
