Hi Playmates
One of the creations I made was for taking over to the As You Like It Challenge where they would like to know what your favourite die is .. .. and why?
Quite a hard one really because I have so many favourites, but at this point in time it just has to be the butterfly on the card below (although the butterfly is made up of two die sets that marry together). Hope that is allowed.
This used:
Image: DigiStamp Boutique (another big favourite that is no longer trading)
Backing Papers: Snippets from The Works and Pink Petticoat (again no longer trading)
Memory Box Dies: Kaleidoscope Butterfly and Moonlight Butterfly
Corner Rounding Punch
Ribbon
My Trusty Sewing Machine
So now to answer why I have chosen this as my favourite.
Well a few weeks ago I lost these dies and I had been looking all over the place for them, and even reached the stage where I thought I might have to look if anywhere was still selling them. I began to think I had perhaps left them at a place we spent a long weekend at a few months ago.
But then thankfully this week I found them .. .. quite by accident .. .. they were in a tiny little tin packed in a box that I sometimes use for taking things to Mum's. I often take little die sets, (especially those that need layering), along with my tiny Sizzix Sidekick die cutting machine - perfect for having a little cutting/assembly session on a lap tray. Mum loves to see multicoloured butterflies finished and all lined up ready for take off. LOL!!

Hi Jules,
Oh I absolutely love your beautiful butterfly card.
Sadly I wasn't thoughtful enough to download that image before the closure of Digistamp boutique - boo hoo!! Wouldn't it be lovely if they decided to reboot one day... sigh!
Loosing crafty stash drives me bonkers and like you they turn up when you're not looking for them! I promise myself to tidy up after each card and put things back where they are supposed to go but it never happens!
So glad you managed to escape to your craft pod and I hope you have a great week.
Love Eve xx
A beautiful image and background papers,I can understand why you love the versatile butterfly dies, take care hugs Meg xx
Choosing a favourite die would be such a hard choice for me - but I can see why this lovely butterfly set is the one for you. How lucky that it wasn't lost forever. Pleased to hear you've enjoyed your 'craft pod' weekend. Hugs x.
Beautiful card Jules. Love your papers and that gorgeous butterfly.
A gorgeous card Jules, and I love the butterfly die.
It's so frustrating when you lose a die...I've lost the smallest circle from a die set, one that I use quite a lot but I've no idea where its got to!
