I would love to see dies used to make ornaments… I love being able to keep paper creations.

I enjoy finding numerous ways to use the dies I purchase , being creative in new ways really pumps me up !

I think it would be good to show how to use the new (and older) dies for household decor, gifts, gift bags,gift wrap, etc. Basically to show how to stretch your dies beyond card making. Love the new dies!

Wow! Another great hop! Thank you Heidi!
This new release is really awesome! I would love to see how realize romantic projects for the next Valentine’s Day and/or for wedding favours and ornaments.

wow, Simon says stamps does it all. but I wouldl love more of stamptmeber ideas. fabulous new stamps from all the great companies.

Gorgeous dies. I would love to see the new and old dies been used for home decor and such :)

Love this release. I would like to see more things to do with paper crafting. Lori Whitlock and Lia Griffith type of things that you can use along with stamps and dies.

When I look at all the diecember dies, I can picture a woodland scene using ALL the dies (in a shadow box frame) What a challenge it would be to use all the dies in one project and to make it look amazing. Love the new dies.

I love your dies and I wishes I could own all the items that I like…I wish that you can show us how to create items with dies and stamps that won’t wear out easily and we can really use them in daily life. Thank you for the hop!

I would love ideas for ornaments and gift tags.

Thanks Heidi , I love all your dies and stamp. I am a new in cardmaking world. And I can not stopping buying from your product. I just had the framed brunch tree die and I fall in love with the new one two. What about making something active through a Facebook event (e.g) and we can vote for the best project that we can submit there. Or doing something like alphabetic challenge either from A to Z or use the alphabetic in a specific word. Your challenges in Wednesday and monday is amazing I was one of the lucky winner 4 month ago. But what a bout add a new little complicated challenge that really will challenge our mind and push our self from the comfy creation soon and thinking outside the box. You can do it like a serious every one with an a new different them or combined thems.you can make a challenge and showcase for the other uses of the stamps and dies in our daily life not only using them in our card. Like wrapping gifts, painting on mugs and glass , hwo creat fun with our kids and family etc.. I know that you show us these thing and you came with a great project. I learned too much from your DT and there amazing Videos. But I am talking about challenging us as a participant to use these lovely product that you offer in our daily life and I am sure that you will find Avery unique and creative entries from the whole world. You make something like use the stamp or die from some thing in your tradition or country themed . Sorry for my long comment , but I love your company ( I mean amazing peoples and products , etc.. ) and appreciate it too much. :)

How about a 3D challenge and/or blog hop … where dies could be used to make something that’s three dimensional, not flat like a card or picture … an item that stands or hangs on it’s own! Anita :)

I would love to see some DieCember tutorials for Christmas decor projects!

I’d love to see more scene add on dies. Like a window die, rug die, cupboard dies, tree die, etc.

Since I’m mainly a card maker, that’s about as creative as I get with your dies. That said, I think that some would be perfect for ornaments and not just for Christmas. I have a twig tree that I decorate(mainly for my grandsons….not) for the different seasons, and I could use the dies to create decorations for the tree. Actually, it would be a fun day for us to create them together.

Fun hop–I love the birch column die. As for ideas, I love technique videos showing different ways to use products to create new effects.

great release my fav is the birch trees, I would love to come and visit the SSS HQ in an open day kinda event, i don;t know there there are such days, warehouse sales also fab…just wish I lived closer, but maybe your neighbours would love to see the behind the scenes too

I want to see more card examples using dies. I’ve been on youtube a lot looking for ideas but I really want more!

You do a good job with Diecemeber as it is. Only thing that comes to mind is have a day on the blog that is chock full of helpful tips and techniques to make die cutting easier/simplier… releasing paper from the dies, storage suggestions, cutting thicker materials or specialty papers, etc., etc!

What a fabulous release! I love all the inspiration shared!

So- not that original as I just read sort of the same idea I had been having. After months of drooling, this past summer I bought my favorite snowflake designed by Kristina Werner. I LOVE IT. Just this morning I cut four more out of metallic cardstock (cost is $1.99 a sheet at HL, I got it half-price, but still….) Anyway, those four were possibly only about #9, 10, aa and 12 of the times I have used that die since I’ve had it. It’s a beautiful die but hardly used, yet. It is so hard to release these tiny little elements. I used waxed paper. I have a Big Shot…I bought the precision cutting plate and my original acrylic pads are both warped and a mess. Running the die through makes cut patterns from the pad appear on the remaining paper- I guess I could cut a piece of card stock specific for each time I run the die through. I have a Tim Holtz poker tool to work it out of the die. So much difficulty. I took Kristina’s class on die cutting and I also own a Silhouette and sometimes I think it might be easier to cut with with the Silhouette. (After doing the Silhouette though- I usually don’t think so!) So- if you could do something like tips and tricks on dealing with dies, it would be really helpful. They aren’t cheap and I’d like to be able to use them more readily. I cannot imagine that even if I had a Vagabond I would have less trouble getting the paper to release from the die. I used to make candles and I had silicon release spray for my candle molds and I’m tempted to get something like that and see if the paper would release any better. I only bought a few dies because I keep telling myself “I have a Silhouette!” but some of these dies are so beautiful. I have a really intricate die of candles in a wreath with stained glass window in the back– I made exactly ONE CARD with that die-it took me 2-1/2 hours to fit different colors into the puzzle-like frame. Had to cut out all different colors and find the exact piece to fit in. (I actually bought the Big Shot for using embossing folders.) Maybe if someone could do a tutorial actually USING the dies and giving their hints and tips- that would be really helpful to me and probably to others. Usually- you see them go “off camera” and come back with the die cut image. Thanks for asking!

What a wonderful release. A die that can be used for any occasion. The Birch die would have to be my favorite but after watching some of the other ladies, They are all really great and very useful.

What I love is what you are already doing – the blog hops that show so many ways to use the products. Many things to see how others look at your products. Sometimes I just don’t see the potential in an item until I see how someone else used it! Thanks much!

Wonderful variety of awe-inspiring creations. I have the Birch Tree die and will use it more.
