Piece by Piece die set from Die-Cutting Essentials magazine

Hello My Crafty Blog Friends and Visitors

How was your weekend? My mother-in-law came out of hospital last Friday. On Saturday we visited and did lots of jobs around the house to help.  On Sunday went to Mottisfont. While we were there we got the message that my mother-in-law had been taken back into hospital. So there will be more hospital visiting this week.

I treated myself to Issue 54 of Die-cutting Essentials magazine. It came with the fabulous Piece by Piece die set. I found an old card with a nice image that I thought would work well with the die set.


That is a fabulous image to use. I made a 6" x 6" card blank and I added a mat of glitter card. 


The die set comes with an outer die so I used this to cut a black mat. Then I cut the image with the puzzle piece part of the die set. I offset one of the pieces to make it look like the puzzle was about to be finished. As a family we love doing puzzles at Christmas. 


I was really pleased with how this design worked out. 

I would like to enter the following challenges: 
Challenge 448 at Craftyhazelnut's Christmas Challenge 
Challenge 12 at the Merry Little Christmas Challenge blog
The Whatever the Weather Challenge at the Daring Card Makers Challenge blog
Challenge 206 at Dream Valley Challenges

Happy Crafting

Hugs Jackie

    Hi Jackie,
    oh this is such a superb card and I love your wonderful design.
    That image was just made for that die wasn't it.
    I love that image and have a couple of pictures with such scenes made by Joesph Farquharson.
    So sorry to hear MIL is back in hospital.
    Hope she is soon out again such a worrying time for you all.
    Lots of crafty love. Jenny L.

    This looks so lovely Jackie - its hard to believe that the die was a free gift with your magazine. It's a super way to recycle old cards. Well done! x

    A clever design Jackie, I have an Xcut jigsaw die which I have never used. You have inspired me to get it out and have a try.
