Pretty Prickley Pear

Hello again everyone!

Today I have a fun brand to share with you- Prickley Pear! This is a line of coordinating dies and clear stamps- such a popular trend right now! It really helps take the mess up cutting and lining up out of the creative process- and helps you get more accurately stamped images!

I'm going to share some inspiration pictures from the Prickley Pear Design Blog! I think all of these designers did such a good job! Be sure to hop on over there to give them some love!

Ujjwal used the Mini Butterflies Die and Mini Butterflies Clear Stamp Set for embellishing these cards!

This card was made by Tesa B, and I just love the use of the Build A Bird Stamp here! I bet she used the Build A Bird Die to get that perfect cut, and the wings separate!

Melissa created this card using the Four Seasons Stamp Set! The sentiment is written so beautifully too (included in the set!)

Amy brought the Mini Owls Stamp Set and Mini Owls Die to life on her card! A fun thing about this die set is that the wings will be cut separate from the body- so you have the easy freedom to make them different paper colors or attach them in fun ways!

Here are the stamps and dies seen above, and then some of my favorites:

    I have seen a few designers using the Prickly Pear stamps...they are very cute and I am loving that bird..."building a bird" with the die cuts is very ingenious.
