Today's feature is the Flower and Hearts Cover Plate Die. This Cover Plate Die creates a bold visual impact, whether used as the focal point on a card or as a soft, textured background. Its versatility makes it ideal for everything from wedding and anniversary cards to Mother's Day projects or any occasion that calls for a beautiful, heartfelt touch.


Cover Plate dies offer limitless creative possibilities, enabling you to craft an array of card styles with ease and versatility.

One of the beauties of this design is that there is no waste when you die-cut this image, as both negative and positive pieces are equally useful.


On the card below, Kelly used masking paper to create a "stencil," resulting in two beautiful cards by using both the positive and negative pieces of the mask.

For the card on the left she placed the die cut "stencil" from masking paper over white cardstock and misted it with three colors of Metallic Sprays. And then the for card on the right, she used the fallout pieces from the "stencil" to create a reverse design with white flowers and a colorful background.

Here are five more card examples to fuel your creativity from current and past Creative Team members. The creative possibilities are endless!

The Flower and Hearts Cover Plate Die is a must-have addition to your collection, one you'll reach for again and again for its versatility and eye-catching detail.


Happy crafting!
