"Ski Utah '23" by Jodi Benson - Pattern #344

Hello

Some dies just feel special the moment you start playing with them—and the Black Diamond dies are definitely in that category. They add a little drama, a little movement, and a whole lot of “wow” without feeling fussy or over-complicated. I love how they let your photos shine while still giving the page a strong, confident design.

As you scroll through this email, be sure to slow down and really look at the beautiful pages our design team created with these dies. Each one shows a slightly different personality—from bold and graphic to soft and storytelling—and they’re full of ideas you can borrow and make your own. Trust me, you’re going to want to take a closer look.

Have a you're-worth-it week!

"Farm Season 2023" by Lauren Jones - Pattern #344

Dies needed to create this look:

Black Diamond Set
Layering Die Bundle Colored A-L through E-L
Basic Die Bundle A-E & 1" Grid - Colored

Lauren’s "Farm Season 2023" layout is your first run down the Black Diamond hill, and it’s a thrill from start to finish.

She built a radiant four-pointed star—or a bent diamond, however you choose to see it—with a center diamond perfect for framing your focal photo. Using the Black Diamond die set, she filled the outer 3x4 spots with patterned paper to make each point of the shape pop. The versatility of this die is unmatched; you can carve out countless layouts, from full-page features to dynamic photo arrangements. Just like a Black Diamond ski trail, this die pushes your creativity to Adventure Level—fast, bold, and exhilarating.

Strap in and get ready to carve your own path!

Glide With Precision ❄️

"Hats Off Madi" by Jodi Benson - Pattern #344

Dies needed to create this look:

Black Diamond Set
Layering Die Bundle Colored A-L through E-L
Basic Die Bundle A-E & 1" Grid - Colored

Jodi’s graduation page shows how sleek and controlled a Black Diamond design can be.

She placed a straight diamond in the full center of the page and outlined it in crisp black cardstock, giving it the precision of a perfectly groomed slope. Leading lines guide the eye across the page just like flag markers on a challenging run.

Her brilliant photos, especially the water shots bracketing the center, draw you in, while the small patterned triangles gradually shift color like a series of gates leading down the hill.

This layout proves that even a single die set can give you a full-course ride of visual impact.

Down the Trail With Style ⛷️

"Hike to the Channels" by Paije Potter - Pattern #603

Dies needed to create this look:

Black Diamond Set
Layering Die Bundle Colored A-L through E-L
Basic Die Bundle A-E & 1" Grid - Colored

Paije’s "Hike to the Channels" layout is a masterclass in full-page direction and energy with the Black Diamond dies.

She placed two 4x5 photos next to one another, creating a full-page chevron that points down the trail—leading your eye and your story forward. The Black Diamond die helps make your layouts feel dynamic, adventurous, and forward-moving, just like a run on the steepest, most thrilling slope of the mountain.

Each photo, pattern, and angle works together to push your page design to new heights.
