Here are the three Die-namics dies being released MAY 5!
MFT Die-namics Clouds (element die) (one die, with three different sized clouds on it)
Small – 1.25” wide and .70” tall
Medium – 1.89” wide and 1.06” tall
Large – 2.51” wide and 1.41” tall
MFT Die-namics Jumbo Scallops (Edge die) 6” long, with each scallop measuring 1.5”
MFT Die-namics Scalloped Scallops (Edge die) 6” long, with each scallop measuring 1.5”
This was the "surprise" in the VIP packages last week -- now everyone can have them! :)
They are so easy to use, and they cut beautifully! I have tried them with both the Cuttlebug and Big Shot. Here's how to use them with the Big Shot:
1. Place the die (here I'm using the Jumbo Scallop die on sandpaper) face-down against the edge you want to cut.
2. Now flip it over and place into the "sandwich" in this order (bottom to top):
All Purpose Platform (completely closed)
Cutting Mat
Die (cutting surface face-up)
Material to be cut (face-down against the die)
Cutting Mat
3. Run it through your machine, and voila!

You can cut so many materials with these dies! Here are just a few (click on photos for a closer view):

I created three rows of Jumbo Scallops out of sandpaper and patterned paper, then I inked the edges. The sentiment is from Clearly Sentimental about Babies.

I used white craft ink on the edges of the acetate clouds, then I adhered them with a couple dots of glue from my Quickie Glue Pen.

I just love how this project turned out, and I can't wait to use these dies again! If you're looking for more fun with the new Die-namics, head over to Kim's Blog after 11 am. She will have a list of designers who have samples for you!
