I've been playing with all the border dies I have, now that I have the longer CB plates. Though these dies are the "inserts" to the border dies, when used together you get the wonderful look of eyelet lace. This makes me think of a beautiful summer dress or a pinafore. These are insert dies from the Classic Scallop and Classic Petal sets by Spellbinders.
To use these, lay the dies cutting side down and place them right next to each other in the order you want or they fit. Tape them with repositional tape or regular tape that you have taken some of the sticky off by taping it to fabric a couple of times.
depending on how you cut, line the dies up on your c/s and run through the machine with the appropriate plate sandwich. This card is a 5x7, so I left off one inch of the cutting part. If you choose to emboss, be careful removing from the dies, as the tape may have gotten pushed into the c/s.
The card base acts as the backing for the eyelets, here I have chosen a very soft periwinkle. Embellish as you wish, here I have used cream ribbon and bow with soft blue button to top it all off.
This eyelet lace is done on cream c/s.

I did get the Card Maker mag and did see where the two border dies were placed together. Good idea placing these two together. All of your IC333 cards are great! Don't give any away till I see them.

Simply gorgeous, Jennifer, once again. BTW, if you have any extra washi tape laying around, it also does a nice job of holding down dies but not agressively holding cardstock.
