Welcome to the Spring into Christmas {BYSHC} Linky party. Head over the BYSCH blog to see all the wonderful sponsors and enter to win some great prizes!
Only one more day until the new Spring 2023 Release from Poshta Design! There are so many cute dies and 3 new color stories being released this Saturday, March 4th at Noon ET.
Today is a peek at the Basic Butterfly die, Lacewing Butterfly Detail die, and Botanical Butterfly Detail die. Again, I used felt – Coral Reef and Agave – and thread from the Misty Morning color story.
I mixed two of the Details die for my butterfly. The top portion of the butterfly uses the Botanical Butterfly details die which includes small leaves and flowers (not shown.) The bottom portion of the butterfly uses the Lacewing Butterfly details die. I love all the little cut outs of these dies.
Also, with the release is the Petite Butterfly die. These would create a great little garland by mixing the petite butterflies with the Basic and Detail butterfly dies.
Thanks for stopping by the past several days! I can’t wait to see what everyone creates with all these gorgeous new dies. Be sure to check out Lizzie’s post for a giveaway on each introductory blog posts for a $50 gift certificate to the website.
Basic Butterfly Die
Butterflies are so beautiful and delicate. They are harbingers of spring and often symbolize growth and new beginnings. One can’t help but smile when watching their meandering flight paths as they float on warm breezes. The Basic Butterfly Die brings these delightful creatures right to your fingertips. The solid wings in this die are perfect for creating color blocked designs and with a coordinating collection of Detail dies, you can create your own kaleidoscope of unique and colorful butterflies!
This die comes with an Inspiration Guide outlining how the Basic Butterfly coordinates with the Details dies in this collection.
Please note: This die coordinates with the Monarch Butterfly Details Die, the Lacewing Butterfly Details Die, and the Botanical Butterfly Details Die. This die does not cut the interior details, just the solid butterfly shape.
Measurement reference: The fully assembled butterfly measures 4” wide by 3” tall.
Lacewing Butterfly Details Die
The Lacewing Butterfly Details Die cuts the wing design that transforms the Basic Butterfly into a whimsical fritillary. The dots and teardrops create wonderful opportunities for embellishment or inlay. These dies feature shaped backing plates that make it a snap to see how you need to line up your dies for hassle-free creative time.
Please note: This die coordinates with the Basic Butterfly Die. This die does not cut the wing shapes, just the interior details.
Measurement reference: The base plates of the large wings measure about 1?” wide by 2” tall. The base plates of the small wings measure 1?” wide by just under 1¼” tall.
Botanical Butterfly Details Die
The Botanical Butterfly Details Die creates an embroidered vine pattern on the wings of the Basic Butterfly. The included leaves and flowers bring extra texture and softness to the design while also providing excellent opportunities for embellishment. These dies feature shaped backing plates that make it a snap to see how you need to line up your dies for hassle-free creative time.
Please note: This die coordinates with the Basic Butterfly Die. This die does not cut the wing shapes, just the interior details.
Measurement reference: The base plates of the large wings measure about 1?” wide by 2” tall. The base plates of the small wings measure 1?” wide by just under 1¼” tall. The leaf measures ?” wide by ?” long. The flower measures about ?” across.
Petite Butterfly Die
Sometimes a project calls for a smaller, daintier focal point. The Petite Butterfly Die shines in those moments. This die is a pint-size version of our Basic Butterfly and includes options that will allow your butterfly to be fully secured or fluttering off of your creations while being fastened only at the body. You’ll be amazed at the variety you can achieve with this lovely little butterfly!
Measurement reference: The butterfly measures 2” wide by 1½” tall. With the embroidered antennae the butterfly measures 2” wide by 1¾” tall.
I’m back again today with more projects from the new Spring 2023 Release from Poshta Design! There are so many cute dies and 3 new color stories being released this Saturday, March 4th at Noon ET.
My first project uses the Itty Bitty Basket and Gathered Garden dies from the new Spring Release. The cute bees and flowers are from the Gathered Garden dies, and I used Misty Morning Color Story felt and new Cobblestone felt (for the body of the bees.)
The Itty Bitty Basket is made from Paloma felt and the bow uses Sunlight felt. This basket can be made a few different ways and is super cute!
My next project uses my favorite dies from the Spring Release – Hippity Hop bunny dies. How cute is this little guy! I used Tundra felt for the bunny and Paloma felt for the ears, nose, and feet. This die set also includes dies for the carrot and small eggs shown below. I cannot wait to make more of these cute bunnies.

Hi, everyone. I’m so excited to share with you the new Spring 2023 Release from Poshta Design! There are so many cute dies and 3 new color stories being released this Saturday, March 4th at Noon ET.
All of my projects I’m sharing over the next few days feature the new color story Misty Morning – Can you hear the quiet twittering of birds as the first rays of light peek past the treetops? The dewy grasses of a prairie backlit by the warm glow of a spring sunrise inspired the Misty Morning Color Story. This Color Story includes *new* Coral Reef, *new* Sweet Nectar, Agave, Sprout, and Sunlight felt. I normally lean toward bright colors, but I absolutely loved creating with this gorgeous pallet.
For my first project, I die cut the Basic Egg die from the new Sweet Nectar felt. I then die cut the new Embroidered Egg Details II from the basic egg die cut. I used the various thread colors, sequins, and beads in the Misty Morning color story for the stitching.
My second egg also uses the Basic Egg die as the base combined with the Banded Egg Details die. There are so many options with the Banded Egg Details die set, but when I saw the flower I had to use it! I used Coral Reef, Agave, Sprout, and Sunlight felt from the Misty Morning color story and added Tundra felt for the scalloped oval.
I had so much fun stitching up these dies. Be sure to stop by tomorrow to see more great dies from the Spring 2023 release! Be sure to check out Lizzie’s post for a giveaway on each introductory blog posts for a $50 gift certificate to the website.

Hi everyone! It’s time for another challenge at A Blog Named Hero. This month’s challenge is CASE – Copy and Selectively Edit your favorite card of the year.
My card features the I’m a Puffer for You stamps set and the Waves stencil from Hero Arts.
I used the stencil on white card stock with two colors of blue distress ink and then die cut them with a rounded square die. I stamped, colored with Copic markers, and die cut the three puffer stamps from the stamp set. I stamped my sentiment from the same set on the card base.
I adhered my squares directly onto my card base and added the fish with dimensional adhesive. I added a few bubbles from a past My Monthly Hero kit to finish off the card.
Here is the card I CASE’d from Stephanie Wincott. I love the clean and simple style.
