Die-cutting Essentials 128 - on sale 17th April
Welcome to another jam-packed issue of Die-cutting Essentials! For this issue we’ve got an absolutely stunning Celtic Dreams die set. I know you’re going to have great fun using it; to create beautiful-looking cards for all occasions and you can see ideas on pages 7, 34, 49 & 74.
We have plenty of die-cutting techniques for you to try this month, starting with a guide to embossing with your dies on page 16. Learn how to design cards that use embossed patchwork shapes with our guides on page 22 and three different ways of adding hidden pop-out die-cut elements to make different, yet beautiful creations on page 40. You won’t want to miss the different ways of adding two-tone inlaid die-cuts on your designs on page 54 – I cannot wait to try these myself, as Jane’s cards look so effective!
As usual, we’re showcasing the latest products from your favourite die-cutting brands, including Crafter’s Companion (page 12), The Crafty Witches (page 25), Highlight Crafts (page 38), Sentimentally Yours (page 42) and Kristina Werner (page 66).
