I've been crafting this afternoon and used a new Marianne die that I bought a couple of weeks ago.
Can't show you what I'm working on, but it included this little birdie. You may wonder why it's sitting on an old Christmas card, well I was testing cutting and embossing it using the back of the card - it's a glossy type of card, and I found by accident that the embossing shows up really well. So if you've not binned your chrissie cards, and are in to recycling - you may like to try this! Another tip would be to cover the back with DST before you emboss - and you get an instant sticker!
PS: Tomorrow at midnight, I will close the draw for the scoreboard - you need to be in it to win it!

love the bird can't wait to see what you have done with it
Ooh I have this die too Ikki - wonder if you'll use it as much as I have...great tip with the glossy stock.
I have this die too and I use it a lot. I quite often cut off the bird and use the leaves as foliage on my card. I now have quite a few wee birds in my stash

This die is on my wish list Ikki - its a lovely one and i'm sure that it will look great on all sorts of cards.

Love the bird and thanks for the handy tip about using backs of cards - I wouldn't have thought of that!!
