feathers & foil
This month, I chose to focus on a few key items from the release. Though I sometimes think I want it all, if I wait and review, I can find those few, key pieces that really fit into my collection. In this case, it was the Dreamy Feather layering die and the Sweet Sentiments hot foil and die collection.
The layering feather is rather versatile – you don’t have to use all the layers, or you can use them independently! And, the Sweet Sentiments? Well, I LOVE that there are dies, OR hot foil plates, and that the shadow die works to cut out the foil pieces perfectly!
