Happy New Year, Friends!




Here we are at the beginning of a New Year - Welcome 2012! I'm adding to my ART die cut collection this year and decided to share a set of my newest ones - These are the Spellbinder Nested Mittens and even though they arrived at the end of last year, they are new to me. I'm ordering one set a month of either Spellbinder or Sizzix in 2012! Unless, of course, you have a recommendation that I should try??? This does not count for the ones I received as Christmas gifts - my plans are to order mid-month and then to actually use these dies! I'm a little disappointed that the intricate details of the top two small mittens didn't cut out...anyone know how to remedy that? I put a little padding under them for a second try but the slits are not cut through. I'm personally loving that big boy and am glad to have these. Wishing you all a happy, healthy and ARTful New Year! Enjoy your day! Diann

These are too cute! Oh there are so many cute dies out there. What a good idea to just buy one monthly...you will have a good collection by the end of 2012! Happy New Year!

The mitten die is adorable. I think you could do a lot with these mittens. I don't have any spellbinders only Sizzex.
Happy 2012 to you.

These are really cute Diann! Did you check to make sure the cuts didn't cut and just need to be poked out? Also, maybe you need a shim added to those particular ones to assist in the full cutting! *Hugs*
