The new Detailed Dragonfly Thinlits Dies are gorgeous and quickly becoming the most popular item in the Occasions Catalog.
These intricate die cut wings provide the perfect opening to use the coordinating stamp set "Dragonfly Dreams" behind or even designer paper as I have done here.
But if you wrestle with intricate dies and have a hard time getting them to release from your cardstock then you need to watch my Quick Tip video from last week. Parchment paper is not only going to be your new best friend, it can also provide a great layer to your project.
If you missed the Quick Tip parchment paper video, you can view it by clicking HERE.
Look closely. See the opaque layer over the dragonfly in the picture below?
That's parchment paper! This tip not only provides a quick release of the die but often leaves you the ability of removing the parchment paper from the die with one gentle pull – making it perfect for layering!
I added Brights Designer Series Paper behind the wings and along the border of the card. The Real Red 3/8" Stitched Satin Ribbon makes a great border and is easily adhered using a strip of Tear & Tape.
Finish off the center of your dragonfly with an enamel shape, like I've done here or add rhinestones or pearls. You can't go wrong with bling!
