Stained Glass Butterfly
Hello bloggers! Now this is a set that you can have a lot of fun with! It is butterfly themed so there is an out decorative die that is full of small butterflies as well as the inner die that sports a butterfly, a sun and a leafy branch. Paper piecing is so easy with this set as you can see it done on this sample.
Don't forget that you can use the Pinterest Pinit button on the bottom of each post if you would like to save any of the samples or die sets for later inspiration. Feel free to copy them as they are or change anything you would like to, that's what they are there for! We have a final die set for today that will be on the blog at 6pm UK time. All for now, Sue x
Butterflies are so beautiful and varied in colours. I have used your butterfly dies in the past to make a circle. This set would save a lot of time. WakeyL
Afternoon Sue and all Wilsonettes, well what can I say, this is the penultimate die set and the butterflies all around the outer circle are stunning, can you imagine cutting all the butterflies out and then have a cascade of them going from the bottom left right up towards the top right, oh I can see it in my mind now, all of them is pretty colours... Am I waffling, sorry, but when you look at a die set you get these ideas on your mind and they just keep popping up.
Absolutely another winner and am loving the frames as much as the stained glass aspects. Would want to mount up several layers and styles and then add to a canvas and decorate. My mind is buzzing with ideas for this range.....
The Stained Glass Butterfly die is a cheerful die. I love the colors you used and how you colored the butterflies around the circle. Judy Hollers from North Carolina.
Hi Sue, I love all the Stained Glass die sets and the Butterfly set is no exception. Your card is beautiful and this set is so versatile. Be well and stay safe. XOXO, ROBIN FROM RIVERSIDE
This one is another favorite. Perfect for paper piecing like the others. I have your older stained glass dies and they always make lovely cards. Stephanie K
