Smile Which are your favorite MFT Blueprint Die sets?

Which are your favorite blueprint sets for A2 Cards. Number one looks like a must have, but do you use the layering piece, or is it easier to just cut with a blade cutter? Thanks!

Oh my I have them all. I use them all too! I love looking at the cards their designers make for inspiration!
Blessings.

I have to admit that I wasn't sure about this series when it started. I was concerned that there would be dies I wouldn't use, so why would I want to pay for them? As time went on, and the collection grew, I really enjoyed watching what the talented ladies of the design team created with these sets. I finally got with the program and have come to seriously appreciate this series. I recently purchased Blueprints 3, and I'm looking forward to adding more to my collection. I'd definitely encourage you to take the leap – have fun with them!

They're dies of various shapes that are sold as a set by My Favorite Things (MFT). When they release a new set (I believe they're up to 19), the design team shows how you can incorporate several of the dies/elements together, therefore using them as a "blueprint" for your design. I hope that makes some sense. Here's a link to a page in MFT'S store that shows some of the Blueprints sets: Search results for: 'Blueprints'. Hope that helps!

Thanks...I've seen those on their site and wondered about them. Now I'll look closer at the site and see what ideas they have to share!

Blueprints 13 and 15 are my favorite. I have many of them.. but those are my favorite. I almost always order directly from MFT, and Amazon has several that are Prime.

Blueprint 11 looks interesting with the wavy sentiment and block.

I just ordered Blueprints 6 from Oozak ($27.16). I'm so excited. I'll probably get it next week sometime.

A Little Birdie Told Me Blue print 26

Does any use the My Favorite Things blueprint 26? I am contemplating buying that one but there are a few more I like as well, so I can't make my mind up.

I use 13 the most because of the stitched rectangle being the right size. 26 is Birthday balloon and I use elements quite a bit, but the curved corners on the outline are hard to make a card with, in my opinion. I have one Blueprints that is no longer on their website...it's a giant tag and I hardly ever use it.

I use #13 a lot because it has the stitched rectangle size of 4-1/4X5. That’s a size I like a lot. Since this thread started several years ago I think they have a few more. I really only bought this set because I was having trouble finding this particular size of stitched rectangle. Haven’t used the rest of the pieces but there are a couple of tags in the set that look useful.
