Great examples! I have a new die that I'm itching to play with.
Yes, I know~another one. But several of you are going to want it~

Thanks for the challenge and the examples.

Yes Laurie, it's the rosette die. There are 2 dies. There is a large one. Then the other die has a medium and small rosette on it. I used the medium and small die on these projects.

Debbie these are all sensational! Your tree is fabulous...great ideas.

Those are so cool Debbie, I bet it was fun making them!

[aprilpzzl]

This was fun. Good to have the challenge as I was just
starting to think of how I wanted to use it.

I used these different ways:

Paper piecing
Mask
Straight die cut

[aprilpzzl]

Collage is the last one and my favorite.

TFL,

Very pretty, April. Good to see you posting!

Good job April!
That's a nice die.

Those deer are wonderful, April! What kind of a die is it, it looks big?

[aprilpzzl]

Thanks for your sweet words about my cards.
It is a thin Sizzix die.

Marianne, these are all 5x7" cards. You can some
of the card bases for 3 cards.

Thanks, April!

Pam I missed commenting on your terrific examples for ways to use our dies. Your cards are awesome.

April love your silhouettes of the deer on your cards. And you got a leg up on holiday cards for this year to boot!

I'm playing around tonight with a cherry blossom die and hope to get something up maybe this weekend. Loving this challenge Pam.

This was fun! I hope I did 4 different things. I made 4 cards for putting in a journal.

1. Dimensional sun that could be an ornament if I had done the other side of it. Also could be a flower, of course.

2. Stacked banner for an awning on a cafe.

3. Stencil with the 4 little banner dies taped to the plate in a square shape.

4. Arrows on the bottom of the big card or it could be a chevron design with more of them.

The four little banner dies and what they look like plain.

Marianne! Just brilliant!

I'll suggest that if you don't have any dies, a punch will work just as well in this challenge. You could use a cut-file from Cricut, Silhouette, or the likes.

[Debbie J]

Great job Marianne! I like the one that has the arrows on the bottom the best.
