Inspired by Candlewick embroidery design, this is a stunning collection of basic shape dies that will create an elegant pattern on the paper with hints of dotted motifs and knots.

The collection also included a doily and a doily border die set,  perfect additions to create elegant and professional-looking papercraft projects.

So I was tempted to use only white for my cards today but I thought that using bright colors would allow me to show you the die-cut shapes a lot better.

 Paper Piecing and Inlaid Die Cuts

This is harder to explain than to do!

I just did a little bit of paper piecing using Doily Round Etched dies so instead of discarding negative die cuts,  I used them as part of the design.

I started by simply die cutting a doily shaped window on the center of a 5-1/4 x 5 1/4 inches piece of white cardstock and behind it, I glued a solid piece of pink cardstock.

Then, I die cut two doilies our of Blue Lagoon cardstock and  I glued one of them on the aperture aligning the edges with the shaped window.

Using scissors, I cut the outer border of the other blue doily to get a smaller die-cut and I kept it to aside.
