(Note: These magazines are packed full of tutorials, techniques, project ideas, double-sided papers and templates at an amazing price. Some of the dies used in the projects may be still available but many are discontinued so be creative and find similar dies to apply these techniques.)
Tattered Lace Magazine #28 includes a FREE Lush Swirls die
This month we show you how to make six fabulous projects using the Lush Swirls die. It is very pretty, versatile and easy to use! Use it in its entirety, use it as a background, as a stencil, snip into it and tuck it behind floral clusters Also take a look at the gorgeous papers included, all designed to work with the featured projects. Of course, the projects are there for inspiration, so mix and match the papers and dies to get new looks every time.
This issue we also highlight three of the melded dies, the Swan, Celebration and Heart die sets. I am sure you will love the Swan projects, there is a serenity and peacefulness about them and it does herald brighter days to come. The Celebration die set, is bright, breezy and fun and do try the shaped card. The Heart die set is perfect for all those lovely romantic occasions and the bow will be another one of those little dies that is just right for a little bit of frippery.
We have a few themes going through the magazine, the first being lots of adorable blossoms, butterflies and dragonflies and cats and dogs! The cards made with the Blossom Frame, Blossoming Butterfly and the Dragonfly flower dies are simpley exquisite. The folding project this month includes making a pussy cat and colouring it in. I do hope you try folding one, it is so easy. Which brings me to the cutest boxes with the kitty and puppy, who wouldn't want to receive them?
