Product Description:

Our new A7 sized die (best to be used as a focal point on an 5 x 7 inch card panel size) is called “A7 Classic Bookshelf” Metal Craft Die, which creates a very pretty centerpiece on any A7 sized card. The die is designed to cut an ornate, classic or Victorian style open book case. It is beautifully decorated with a baroque top, cute little drawers on the bottom and several rows of book shelving, filled with anything you would expect to find on a bookcase, including stacks of books, vertical rows of books, books that are angled in, little world globes, picture frames etc…. The cool thing about this die is that it is a layering die and that all the little details can be highlighted by adding more colors and dimension. This very generously sized book shelf coordinates very well with our scene builder pop up dies in this collection, which is the “A7 Library Window Scene pop up card” and the “ Library Sofa and Chair” die set and the “Plant Ladder” die set. There are so many ways to expand on your little study/ library room with all these super detailed furniture pieces. This would be such an awesome card for book lovers, teachers, people working remotely out of their own study, a special colleague or someone who just graduated, became a doctor or who is going into Retirement and will have a lot more free time to settle into a cozy reading room and relax with a good book. Of course the set can be paper pieced and paper layered for beautiful dimension using all your favorite colors of papers, card stocks and of course specialty glitter and foiled papers and designer pattern papers.

This set is designed to work best when used in conjunction with any of our “Life is a Story 2024” stamps, metal dies and pattern papers. Please check out our complete “Life is a story 2024” collection and mix and match your favorite pieces.

Directions for metal craft die use:

1. Gently remove the metal craft die from it’s packaging
