It’s Die Drop Day — one of my favorite days of the month; but, asking me to pick a favorite die? That’s like asking me to pick a favorite child—I just can’t do it!
They each have their own little
personality. Some are bold and full of drama (you know, the ones that love being the center of attention), while others are quiet and steady—the dependable types that make everything else look good.
Some dies are playful and spontaneous, others are neat freaks who love perfect alignment. A few have that “life of the party” vibe, and some are
more elegant and refined—like they showed up in pearls and heels.
Honestly, it all depends on my mood and the photos I’m working with. One day I’m obsessed with the die that makes my beach shots pop, and the next I’m head over heels for the one that frames my family photos just right.
So yeah… favorite? Impossible. They’re all part of my creative family—and I love them all for different reasons.
This time, we’ve got a darling mix of dies that are sure to make your pages shine. Whether you love soft layers,
stitched details, or lively designs that dance across the grid — there’s something here for you.

If you love layouts that move—with rhythm, bounce, and energy—the Hip
Hop Set will make your creative heart leap!
These dies are full of motion and personality. Each one features bold curved lines that almost dance across the grid, giving your page a dynamic, upbeat look (and not a single bunny required 🐰).
The set includes several playful shapes like the 2x2, 2x3, and 2x4, so you can mix and match them for endless combinations. The smaller sizes are perfect for
spotlighting details, while the larger ones create a gorgeous focal point that looks like it’s hopping right off the page. Try using the Hip Hop Dies across the top and bottom rows of your page for a lively border—or cluster them in the center for a bold, design that draws every eye.
Each curve and segment gives you the chance to layer color, add texture, or tuck in patterned paper that enhances your theme—whether you’re scrapping sunny summer days, Halloween fun, or a family game night.
Once you start hopping, you won’t want to
stop!

The Stitches Frames dies are a total game-changer when it comes to framing your photos.
There are six sets in all, which means you literally have every size frame you could ever need or want—from a bold 5x5 to a tiny 1x1, plus handy 2x2 pieces and border dies to fill in the gaps. Whether you’re working on a full-page spread or just want to highlight a single
tiny snapshot, these dies have you covered.
What makes them extra special is that each frame is stitched all the way through, both along the inner and outer edges. That means you can actually add real stitching for texture and interest,
giving your pages a finished, handcrafted feel—or you can keep them simple for a clean, polished look. They’re perfect for showcasing your favorite photos while adding that subtle detail that makes a layout feel complete.
With this set, framing your memories has never been
easier—or more fun! Stack frames, mix sizes, add stitching, or layer colorful mats—there’s truly no limit to how creative you can get. It’s a must-have for anyone who loves clean grids, sweet details, and layouts that make your photos shine.
