New DETAILZ dies by Lifestyle Crafts!

4.25.2013
Lifestyle Crafts has just introduced the next big thing in dies!



And, you guys, these new DETAILZ dies are sooo cool!



With these new dies you can cut, emboss & stencil! What?!?

This is what the dies look like...



And this is how they work...

You just cut the shape out with your die cutter (I used the new Lifestyle Crafts Genius Ultimate Platform [it's MAGNETIC! so that your dies don't slip around...awesome] and some Letterpress Paper to cut my shapes with my Epic die cutter...) and color in at the stencil lines...it's THAT EASY!


**NOTE: The new DETAILZ dies will emboss at the same time the shape is cut as long as you are using thicker paper - like the Letterpress Paper. In order to cut and emboss thinner paper at the same time you need to use an extra rubber mat during your cut**


Last week was Kinsley's birthday, and I put together these fantastic cupcake toppers and this little card for her...

First I sprayed some Lifestyle Crafts Letterpress Paper with some Heidi Swapp Color Shine (in Georgia Peach, Tropicana Teal & Mint Green)...

...then I simply ran the paper through my Epic die cutter, folded the banner around a toothpick, adhered the two sides  and look what I got!


See the embossing? Cool...


AND, as you can see on the cake die-cut above, you can also use these dies to STENCIL your die-cut! Before you remove your paper from the die, you simply color in the "open" spaces on the die and voila!


I made this little card using the candle die...I simply cut the candle out and then colored it in...


The little banner ("happy 10th birthday") under the candles was made using the same die as the flag cupcake toppers above. I added the black outline around the shape using the stencil marks on the die...

I love love love the look of the soft colors on the embossing...

So, what do you think? Pretty awesome, huh???

These new DETAILZ dies are available in 10 different sets...perfect for any spring or summer occasion! And, as always, use the promo code MIDWESTERN to get 20% off your entire purchase (including sale items!)...woo hoo!!!
