Every crafter needs some basic tools, and this is one of them! The Deckled Circle Dies (NOT retiring, yay!!) quickly cut basic shapes with a twist—a deckled edge!
Here are some different ideas for using these dies: you can cut several sizes in different colors and layer them to create a big colorful circle. Cut different sizes and scatter them on your card for a fun background. Cut in rainbow colors, then cut the circle in half for two rainbows. The list goes on and on and on. If you have a die-cutting machine, you’ll want these dies! (And if you don’t have a die-cutting machine, this is your reason to get one!)
Here's my rocker card:

I love walking in our forest too! I live right by Fox River in Batavia, IL and we walk there all the time... we see lots of ducks and dogs being walked and swans too! On a semi-nice day it's wonderful. Have a nice day & Merry Christmas!
