I used:
Square Card
2 Basic Grey papers - Euphoria
Borderabilities - Spade
Nesties - Rectangles
CB - Alphabet - Harmony
CB - Birthday Wishes
PB Stamp, Gems and Flowers
Cut your border
Using the wax paper it easily comes out of the die
Cut the sentiment and initials. I use DST on the underside of the paper, and place on the back of the die. You could use a glue, but these cuts are so fiddly that I end up with glue everywhere.
This seems very elimentary - but I know from experience when cutting initials - it is sooooo easy to cut them backward!!!!! So I thought it was worth mentioning for new owners of DC machines.
Now all I needed was a Penny Black stamps and a few gems, glitter and flowers
A personal, funky card for a teenage. "Happy Birthday, Emma" Hope you had a great B'Day.Back on Thursday with .......?!?!??!.....you'll have to come back to find out, because at the moment it's a mystery to me as well!

Eileen..
I love your creations.. and found your blog whilst searching the www..
I have become a fan of the bug and the nesties.. and find your work truly inspirational..
I was therefore wondering whether you would be willing to join my small but well formed DT at DewDrop Craftz.
I would be honoured to have you working with my products.. and to see how you would incorporate all your wonderful techniques with them.
If you are interested and have the time to take part.. it would be lovely to hear from you.

Using wax paper in the dies is inspired. Could you use ejection foam in them or would that prevent them embossing properly?
Great card Ikki!

Great card Ikki as usual, do you think wax/greaseproof paper might help my sizzlets alphabet strip letters and swirl die pop out more easily? I don't use them as much as I would like because they are so fiddly to poke out once cut.
Thank you, Julie Mae (DC)
It must be worth a try Julie! I can't see why not - let us know if it works. ikki
