Dies have positively exploded in the marketplace, with most major companies getting in on the act, whether they’re nested shapes, individual motifs or designs with matching stamps.

Yet, we often only use them in a handful of ways, so this month we’re launching a new feature as a kind of idea-file to help you get more out of your clever investment.

Do More By Teresa Abajo METHOD 1 Stamp Prima Bloom Gardenia on black card 140mm x 200mm with VersaMark ink and white-emboss it. 2 Colour parts of the image using a white Faber-Castell Pitt Pastel pencil then spray with a fixative to prevent smudging. 3 Spatter white linen Dylusions ink over the piece, avoiding the face, and create some ink drips on the left-hand side. 4 Use a sewing machine to add a loose border featuring zigzag and straight stitches. 5 Add two large cream flowers and a Cosmo Cricket Tiny Text Punch Me word sentiment then affix the panel to folded white card 300mm x 210mm with mounting tape. WHAT WE LIKE The detail in this stamp lends itself beautifully to a monochromatic design. Watercolour Joy By Edna Morrisedie…
