Gemini Create-a-card Paper Piecing Die – Butterflies and Blooms

Gemini Create-a-card - Butterflies and Blooms

Craft stained glass perfection in minutes with the innovative new Paper Piecing Collection from Gemini!

The craft technique of paper piecing, using small die-cut pieces to add colour to an outline image, creates stunning results for cards and crafts but can be time consuming and tricky to master.

This papercraft range introduces a new concept to take all of the difficulty out of paper piecing so all abilities can create the most gorgeous cards and crafts in no time at all!

Alongside a collection of dies to create delicate and elegant decorative outline images, is a pack of Paper Piecing Hold and Release Sheets. Its adhesive backing is strong enough to hold your coloured paper pieces in place as they are die cut and light enough to allow each piece to be peeled off with ease. So you can enjoy adding colour to your Paper Piecing die with ease, no more hunting around for each piece!

The Butterflies and Blooms set includes two dies to create a stunning outline image of pretty butterflies and roses with open spaces that can be paper pieced. Sized to fit perfectly onto a range of card base sizes, this die is the perfect way to create a beautiful stained glass style frame for any occasion!

All you need is a die-cutting machine, a die, and your chosen card or paper stock. Simply create your plate combination using the helpful Sandwich Guide in the instruction manual and run through your die-cutting machine - it's that simple!

Next, adhere your outline design to your card base or chosen material, ready for the coloured paper pieces to be added. Take a Hold and Release sheet, peel away the backing sheet and lay your chosen coloured card onto the tacky side. Take your die, lay it on top and run through your die cutting machine.

Remove the outline effect created by the die to leave the remaining coloured pieces on the hold and release sheet. Use tweezers and a fine tip glue applicator to peel off each coloured piece and transfer to your outline design. Repeat the process to add as many different colours to your design as you like!
