Good morning!! Every month, we love bringing you inspiration for the Die of the Month; today is our Die of the Month Blog Hop!! My lovely Creative Team has shown up with some surprising and stunning inspiration on how to use this die – I hope you will click through to each blog – they have really blown this challenge out of the water. This month we have the most elegant of elegant dies that are designed to allow you to cut the die then slip a card into position.
The Lacework Finery Slip-In Card Die has a tiara-like motif that can be used with the corner pieces or without. If you are looking for a subdued card, why not use the corner pieces only? All of the pieces are inlaid, you can use them alone or together to get the look you want.
If you are new to our blogs, the Die of the Month is an exclusive die I designed. It is called the Lacework Finery Slip-In Card Die. This particular set has 10 dies and they can be used to make a background, a slip-in card, or a frame with decorative corners, while the individual dies in the set can be used for many things. Oh, and to make the set complete, I’ve included flowers! A gentle reminder, it is available beginning January 2019, until the limited supply is sold out.
You can visit this post if you missed the Lacework Finery Slip In Card introduction and want to know more about what inspired it.
My Lacework Finery Slip In Card Today:
My card today is a simple card, in fact the simplest. I designed the die so that from this set you can simply get an elegant frame — to highlight a sentiment — to slip in a picture — to add reserved corners to anything you want to highlight.
Curious how to make the card? It’s simple –
Run the large rectangle die along with two corner dies (one inlay in each corner) through your die cut machine. Remove paper from die and turn paper 180 degrees. Reseat paper into die and run through again. This will give you two filigree corners on each end! Easy!
Stamps: Spellbinders STP-007 – Captured Sentiments
Paper: Neenah Classic Crest – Natural White – Cover – 80lb smooth, My Minds Eye – Blush Sweet Bouquet Paper
Ink: Versafine
Accessories: Lacework Finery Slip-In Card Die

Your card today is simple yet elegant – and gorgeous as always. Unfortunately only one of your design team – Ewelina – has the die of the month blog published at the moment (beautiful projects). I will revisit tomorrow. Best wishes

Sorry about that Doreen, I’m traveling and jumped the gun an hour early. Their lovely posts are up now :-)
It’s I who should be apologing Becca! I didn’t intend it as a criticism but merely an observation and probably shouldn’t even have mentioned it. We in the UK have the advantage of being several hours ahead of the US. I’ve now seen all that your design team have created with this fabulous die and they are all gorgeous and a real credit to you. Best wishes

A lovely card again today. Love this die set and so glad I joined the APG Die of the Month Club!
Gorgeous dies & incredible variety of projects by the DT…cards, boxes, treat holder, place card, gift bag…Wow!! Love how versatile this die is.
Beautiful card. It’s funny when there is one particular piece in the die set that you absolutely love and for me it’s the corner piece. So feminine and ever so lovely.
Hi, Becca,
Well, this blog hop totally seals the deal…these dies are favorites. I love every single project (my work is cut out for me now!). The versatility is awesome…simple to fancy, the results are fantastic! Love, love, love these dies!!!

Beautiful card Becca! Love this die of the month! It’s such a versatile set!
Becca,
Another great die creation. Loved this card and all the projects done by your design team. Looking forward to getting my die in the mail. When I’m expecting something this special, the phrase ‘snail mail’ is truly at play! Got to love everything ‘Beccalicious.’
Such Beautiful projects and the dies are Stunning love the lace style. Thanks for sharing all the many ideas great job to all.
This month’s “die of the month” is so elegant. I look forward to designing with my die set. You and your talented Creative Team have given me such wonderful inspirations using this die set. Loving the flowers, too.
they get prettier and prettier
Becca I went to sign up for the die of the month as I think this set is the best ever and I was looking forward to making beautiful cards with it . However when I went to the pay part on the spellbinders site it quotes $30 for the die set and $64 for the postage so a total of $94 Australian dollars. I can not pay such a ridiculous price for postage so sadly I can not join the club. Is there any other way I can purchase the die set. Sadly I do not know anyone in US who could get it for me. I am so disappointed as I had my heart set on owning the set.
Congratulations on the fantastic job you have done creating the beautiful set.
