Crochet Dies - Tim Holtz Sizzix Chapter 2

The Crochet die set from the Chapter 2 release from Tim Holtz and Sizzix, is such a beautiful die set.  It is definitely one that should be in every die cut library.

This set includes four crochet trim dies, two styles, each in a large and small size. They are so intricate that they look like real crochet trim, but they are cut from paper. Not only can they cut one lovely piece of crochet trim for a card or journal, but it is possible to cut the die end to end and make a long piece of crochet paper trim. 

 

The love sentiment is from Shadow Script 1 cut without the shadow die, The backing is the inside shape from one of the Trinket Frame dies, and the leaves are the tips of two of the greenery pieces from the Wildflower Stems 1.

 

This sample card features one of the crochet trim dies cut from Distress Mixed Media Heavystock. 

It is sewn over the bottom edge of a piece of Heavystock colored with Aged Mahogany Distress Ink and run through the Botanical 3-D Texture Fade Embossing Folder. Then painted with Distress Clear Rock Candy Crackle Paint. Then I finished it by applying a coat of Gathered Twigs Distress Stain over it so that it would soak into the cracks and highlight the embossed areas, then wiping the excess off.

I made a short video about this die set, how to cut it, how to remove the paper from the die, and how to cut the longer pieces of trim.



I hope you enjoy creating with this beautiful die set as much as I have.
