Find out how to use Curvy dies in my latest Facebook Live video replay today. Plus I am sharing images and measurements for you. Curves on cards make great focal points, drawing the eye from left to right or up to down. Whether you cut them by hand, or use special dies such as these they’ll bring an added wow to your projects.
2 Ways to use Curvy Dies
You can see 2 curved die pieces on this card, both using the same one, but slightly offset. Pick up that design piece with the curve of the stamped stars images and you have a card that is gentle on the eye and somehow complete.
You will know when your card is right because it will feel comfortable to look at. This is something I learned early on. That’s when it’s time to stop!
But don’t forget you can carry on that curvy design on the inside with curvy stamps! This one is from the Curvy Christmas Stamp Set
3 Curvy Die Posibilities
This die set is part of the Quite Curvy Bundle but it also coordinates with the Curvy Christmas stamp set. You can see you get a dotty die, a floral die and then the remainder when cut gives you a straight curve too!
Here’s what they look like when die cut – aren’t they just gorgeous?
Curvy Dies and the coordinating stamps are so pretty and easy to use. Check out my Spring design too. What is it about curves that YOU like? COMMENT HERE because I would love to know!
Remember the card I mentioned was the inspiration for my card? Here it is! Very different but with some similar elements!
