Don’t overlook the Stitched Nested Label die set, in the new 2019-2020 Stampin’ Up! Catalog. It’s bundled with the Free As A Bird stamp set, for a 10% discount. The Stampin’ Up! creators cleverly used “nested” in its name to go with the birds. Cute, huh?

Nested Die Set
Today, I’m showing the versatility of the dies, without a bird in sight. I used this weeks’s CAS(E) this sketch for inspiration. Instead of the diamond shape, I used the irregular hexagon shape of the Stitched Nested Label Dies.
From Thick Whisper White Cardstock, I used the smallest die to cut five hexagons, and a medium die to cut one hexagon. Then, I placed them on dimensionals, and arranged the five, small ones on a side panel that was embossed with the Subtle Textured embossing folder. I glued this panel (1 1/4″ X 5 1/4″) to a Thick Whisper White card base.

The large die was perfect for holding my sentiment from the Rooted in Nature Stamp Set, “You are wonderful.” This is where I had fun choosing the colors of Stampin’ Write Markers that I wanted to use. They are: Berry Burst, Highland Heather, Garden Green, Granny Apple Green, Coastal Cabana, and Tranquil Tide.
I colored the the stamp, “You are wonderful,” in six colors, and then stamped on the Whisper White die cut. The small die cuts were stamped in the same manner with a stamp from Abstract Impressions. It seemed to go with the loops in “wonderful.”

For more color, and a bit of sparkle, I added five Glitter Enamel Dots. One set has retired, but I listed both (current and retired) enamel dots in my Product List.

I hope you enjoyed seeing some versatility with the Stitched Nested Label Dies. Thank you for stopping by!

What is the long narrow straight die for? It isn’t shaped like all the other nested stitched label dies.
Hi Kathy,
It gives you an added row of stitching, without cutting out a shape. I haven’t used it yet, but your question makes me want to try it.
Very cute…this sketch left me scratching my head, wondering what to do with it, but using these Nested dies is perfect! Clever!
Thank you LeAnne! I appreciate your nice comment!
This card is stunning. the nested dies are top of my list. (with the Free as a Bird stamp set of course.) I am always inspired by your cards.
Thank you, Kay! It makes me happy that my cards are inspiring!
