Happy Thursday and today is my day to post for Top Dog Dies.
Today I am introducing four brand new exclusive Top Dog Dies from the July release!
There is an awesome giveaway on the Top Dog Dies Blog HERE!
My fist card features the new Corset die! Endless opportunities with this one it can be elegant and classy just like the card Top Dog Dies teammate Cathy Weber did on her blog in this post HERE or if can be bold and sassy like what I have done today with the purple corset. My niece is getting married in the fall and I know that she is going to love this when I give it to her at her shower. I am anticipating a squeal!
I die cut it in both purple and black, then cut the black bow off and glued it over the top of the purple corset bow, it is topped off with a purple gem! The sentiment is on one of the three banner dies. I don`t have any stamps that are suitable for a shower or festivities leading up to the main event, so I had to improvise with my computer!
My second card uses two other new dies, the Flower Lace A2 Mat die and the new Vintage Frame Die. I have actually gotten a few emails from people wondering if I am changing my design style. Now I am not but I am stretching out my creativity. I love that using Top Dog dies is pushing me out of my comfort zone to try new things. Lately I seem to be in love with Distress Inks, especially the ones that are vibrant colours! For my card I used 5 different inks colours to create the card base and then put the Flower Lace die cut over top--LOVE! Then I created a swatch of yellow and die cut the Vintage Frame to stamp the sentiment on. My suggestion it that if you do this let the paper dry before stamping on it. I stamped this fab sentiment from Mama Elephant!
These dies and more will be released by Top Dog Dies next Tuesday, July 29th!

This is how I did it:
- position the negative over the printed sentiment
- Slip the die into the negative, you will feel in lock into place
- Use a Post it note or Post it tape to s
- Print the sentiment
- Die cut the banner using copy paper, discard the positive
- Srecure the die and run it through you die cut machine
- Perfectly aligned!
