We love seeing our products being used in new, innovative ways.  Designer Jill Green from Homemade by Jill used the Epic 6 to create these cute felt hair clips using Lifestyle Crafts nesting doily circles die and nesting circles die.

Great way to think outside the box, Jill!  Does this project inspire you to use the Epic 6 in a new, creative way?

Using the Nesting Butterflies die as her staple, designer Kami Bigler pulled off a fabulous butterfly-themed party for her daughter! Let's start off with the decorative cake she displayed.   Using the Pennant Punches die, she cut out all of the flags in just 2 runs through her die-cutting machine.  The punches dies are a perfect and time-efficient way to make a garland! Then, she added the grass using an older die and accented with the butterfly from the Pop-up Box die and the Nesting Butterflies die.  The alphabet she used is Sketchbook Mini Alphabet die. Any of the 4x4 alphabets would work perfectly.

Here is a collage (all of these images are via Kami) of some of the fabulous details.  For more photos and a detailed description on how she put it all together, visit her blog, No Biggie.  

If you're wondering which dies she used to make each element, here are the details:

Butterfly Box Favors: Pop-up Box die, Banners & Arrows die, 

Invitations: Lemon Drop Alphabet die, Butterfly die

Cupcakes: Nesting Butterflies die

Butterfly Wand: Nesting Butterflies die

Cake: Pennant Punches die, Sketchbook Mini Alphabet die, Pop-up Box die

Thanks for letting us share your fabulous party, Kami!

Designer Caroline Drake is always up to something fantastic over at Armelle Blog. In true I Made This spirit, she made some adorable Valentines for her son to give out at school. She also made inventive DIY letterpress business cards using the Wintertide printing plate and a custom stamp.

Read about her Pocky Stick Valentines here where she showcases a great way to use the Mini Valentine die. Her post includes a free printable download, so be sure to check it out!

Here are the DIY letterpress business cards she took to Alt Summit.  She printed the cards on our Letterpress Mini Flat Cards and packaged them in a little bag accompanied with some candies. For all the details, check out her post here. 

Fun projects, right? Thanks for letting us share Caroline!

Design team member Kami Bigler of No Biggie posted a great idea for Valentine's Day and I couldn't help but share it with all of you.  I'm sure these treat boxes were a hit at school!  First, she photographed her kids in the pose she wanted for the silhouette.   After printing/cutting, she used the Rectangle Box die and the Clear Plastic Sheets media, she made adorable treat-filled boxes for her kids to hand out.  Read about her process here and check out the video below. 

Using her digital cutting tool, she cut the silhouettes in a large size and mounted them in these vintage thrifted frames!  Great decor for the home and these could easily be personalized for any holiday!  

Thanks for the great idea Kami!
