Stitched Zigzag Borders

Hi there my crafty friends!  Next up on the blog launch is the Stitched Zigzag Borders.  This set is great fun to add a bit of whimsy to your cards!  It comes complete with three different sizes of zigzag dies and you get two of each so you can easily put them together and make a border in one pass through your die cutting machines!  They are great as edges or even backgrounds too.  The double stitching means that you will always have stitching on both sides of any cut out piece too.  The ends of each die have no cutting edge so you can easily extend them to make longer borders if needed too.  I think these will be really handy for so many card occasions too.  Leave your comment and you will be ready for the final post of the day at 6pm.  I hope you can swing back by the blog then!  All for now Sue x

    Afternoon Sue and all Wilsonettes, well you have blown me away with this one Sue, when I saw the new dies on various websites, this is the first one I said I wanted, how amazing is that, you can do so much with it, I am looking forward to seeing more samples of what you have made. Brilliant.

    Stay safe, healthy and happy, hugs, June Smith xxx

    Good Afternoon Sue. Now these remind me of the old fashioned pinking shears we used to use years ago in dress making. For the younger ones .... pinking shears were used to neaten the inside of a seam. These days we use overlocking machines . Brilliant card and die Sue. Someone is going to be very lucky.

    Wow!

Talk about inspiration alert! This one is going straight on my wishlist!
