![]() ![]() Fast forward no more than 1 week from that thought and I get an email from Erin at, asking if I would like to have a full nested die set, in return for sharing something with you about them. I felt surprized at myself for wanting them free, since that isn’t my normal frame of mind and it all was a split second moment in my head that quickly got pushed to the back of my mind. I noted to myself that I would love to not have to pay for them. I imagined a set in my mind that was pretty near identical to this Umbrella Crafts nested dies set. You know, we all have those conversations with ourselves about the supplies we’d love to have, or that would help us practically. About a month and a half ago, I mentioned to myself how I needed a good set of practical nested dies. Until now, I’ve had very a very fun collection of dies, but honestly very few practical ones. She can give you a quick up-close look at the dies and also how they work in a die cutting machine and I’m going to show you how to use these to make a fun little bookmark for your Bible!ĭon’t worry, if you don’t have a die cutting machine, you can just use a ruler and scissors to make and cut your own shapes, before putting them together like I’m showing you in this project. I worked with her to develop the Inspired Faith online class. Here is a video about the nested dies from Umbrella Crafts, with Rebecca from. And… there are dies in just about every shape you can imagine! It will apply pressure to the paper at just the right amount and when it rolls out the other side, you’ll be left with a beautiful cut shape that matches the shape of your die. In its simplest form, you just set your die down with the raised edge facing your paper and sandwich them between plastic plates, before rolling it all through a die cut machine. With wafer thin dies like these ones, there is a tiny raised edge on one side of the die, which will cut through paper and other similar thicknesses (or even thicker with other die types). And, if you take care of them, they will last you for years to come.Įssentially, dies provide a fancy, but super easy way to cut nifty shapes. Designs from others are fabulous when you’re needing a “prompt” to get going, but these serve SO many different projects that you really get your money out of them, far before they wear out, or before you lose interest in them. Personally, I love products like these that are basic support tools, which allow you to do the creating while they serve your vision… rather than something someone else designed, that I then have to work in to my own ideas. They sent me the Complete Nested Variety Kit, which has all of their 7 shapes at a total of 39 dies nested into those shapes, at various sizes. Let me show you the product, so you know what I’m talking about. To be clear, despite being asked to share something about these dies, my opinion is my own entirely and I am so happy to share what I’ve done with it. So, while I don’t often agree to create content publicly, without first seeing and experiencing the product I’ll use, it was a SUPER easy decision for those reasons and… a neat little God reason too. I trust Umbrella Crafts products and I’ve used this exact type of product many times with great success.
