Plaid Background
Hello crafters! We have come to the penultimate post of the blog launch. This post is dedicated to showcasing the Plaid Background. This is a great die to layer up with various colours to get a real depth to the card. It is difficult to tell but each of the lines that crosses another has a bit of a diagonal etching to it for detail. This is certainly a die that could be used anytime and for many other reasons than just baby cards so it is very versatile. Go ahead and add your comment and I will return with the final post of the launch. All for now, Sue x
Afternoon Sue and all Wilsonettes, oh yes, loving the Plaid Background, this one is going to be so very useful, think of all the lovely designs you can use this for, and paper piercing which as you may know I love doing, yes definitely got to wish for this one.
See you at 6pm
Stay safe, healthy and happy, hugs, June Smith xxx
I'm not one for using dies as backgrounds, so would you not put my name forward I'd rather my opportunity was given to someone that uses them more than I do xx
plaid is always so versatile & useful. I love tartan backgrounds for Christmas so this die would be ideal. I love it when you produce dies to go with a theme but are so versatile that they can be used right across the board, all year long, as this one can. Thank you Sue.
Hi again Sue and lovely wilsonettes x Brilliant die Sue x this can be used for so many occasions, even Christmas x thankyou Sue x Theresa w in Berks xxx
Hi Sue, I love the beautiful card. The Plaid Background die is fantastic. Such a versatile die set. Definitely a must have. Be well and stay safe. XOXO ROBIN FROM RIVERSIDE.
Good Morning Sue. This is fabulous. Again not just for babies but for grown up cards too. Different colours layered would make a tartan of sorts, so ... good for Christmas backgrounds and of course the mens. Thankyou Sue. Someone going to be very lucky to win this set. Kind regards Ann Toppcards in Leeds.
Fabulous card and new plaid die. A very useful die with versatility for so many occasions. I love how you’ve given it some detail at the intersections too. I imagine that this will be a very popular die.
Good afternoon Sue,
