Of course I agreed and so I was sent some all the way from the Netherlands.
So thank you Annelies for these useful additions to any craft "Stash" and today I have put them to work.
Now about the dies .... they can be used in any die cutting machine... read the manufacturers instructions to adjust the cutting plates for your machine
The card I used to cut my shapes was a 270 gsm card ... so quite a good weight.
Because the dies are flat they can be stored just about anywhere.
But they are metal so make sure that you don't bend them or they won't cut properly for you.
You can buy them from Crealies and the link will take you to the flower shapes ... but once there have a look around for many many more.
In the picture you can see one of the Flowers and Doily Elements dies, with the border die on the left of the photo.
They made a very clean cut in my card and then I used a ball tool and a mouse mat to give the flowers some shape.
The edges to the petals have been inked with Victorian Velvet and sparkled with Glamour Dust, and a Pearl added to the centres.
The second shape I used to edge a panel that had been embossed for the front of the card, and two more around the edge of the sentiment.
The leaves are also dies and there is a good mix on the one die plate, and they have been inked with Sage Green and Forest Moss then tucked behind the flowers.
A large pink organza bow is the finishing touch and that has another pearl in the centre to hide the knot.
I think this is a pretty card and these dies are well worth your consideration. They are easy to use and the results are very good.

Lucky you, they look lovey and I do have the leaf/flourish one,xxxx
