If there’s a Stacklet you’ve been meaning to add to your collection, a background plate you’ve admired, or one of those versatile tools you know you’ll use dozens of different ways, this is the week to make it part of your crafty stash.

My card showcases the new Simple Weave Cutting Plate. This is such a great die to add texture and interest to the background of your card. First I used the largest die A2 Large Scallop Stacklets Die Set to die cut the scallop card front from Toffee cardstock and then I die cut again with the Simple Weave Cutting Plate.

The flowers are die cut with the Simple Stems Die Set. I will list the ink and cardstock colors I used below. You can see how I layered the ink blended cardstock back into the flowers and leaves.
