The Sequins Die-namics includes both faceted and smooth sequins in 4 different sizes. A single pass through your die cutting machine results in an entire handful of confetti perfect for populating your shaker cards, using as stand alone accents, or embellishing your stamped designs. The smallest size includes a pierce point while the largest three sizes have a tiny center hole. Put that hole punch away and let our Die-namics do the work for you!

My Favorite Things Designer

Today we welcome Barbara Anders. We are so excited to have her showcase her work today on Paper Crafter’s Library. You can see Barbara’s fabulous project below, but first, here is a little more about her:

PrintBarbara had dabbled a bit in paper crafting but about five years ago started a little scrapbooking. She was immediately fascinated and started buying a few stamps and supplies at craft stores. Since then she’s  branched out and has had the awesome good fortune to be able to design for fabulous companies. Most importantly, though, through this craft she’s met some of the most talented and amazing people—people that “I am proud to call “friend”.”

 

 

 

Fabulous Card

I needed a card for a good friend of mine who was there for me at a difficult time.  The “fabulous” greeting was exactly what I was looking for and I wanted it to shine.  With that in mind, I kept the background of the card fairly simple – just black and white tones.  This allowed the greeting to stand out!
