Banner Nursery Art

With our third baby girl (who is now a whole month old!), we didn't repaint the nursery.  Mostly it was because I couldn't face the task with our basement finish going on and being pregnant, but I also thought I might be able to work with the blue.  I decided to go with blue, raspberry pink, and white, which is pretty similar to what I already had going on.  I am using this nursery as inspiration.  The whole project is really just getting started, and to kick it all off I made this wall art using the new Detailz Dies from Lifestyle Crafts.

Detailz Dies are cutting dies that cut and emboss in one pass when you use thick paper, plus you can use the die as a stencil.  I used the Banners set, and I love how it turned out!  I also used letterpress paper, which is thick enough to do the cut and emboss at once.  The blue and pink banners are letterpress paper that I covered with washi tape first.  I strung the banners on embroidery floss and added a sweet little initial.  So cute and easy!

I was recently contacted by Lifestyle Crafts to become one of their blogger affiliates, and of course I jumped at the chance.  Personally, I have never had a manual die cutting machine, and I don't know how interested I would be in one now, but these machines can also emboss and letterpress paper!  I don't know what draws me to the letterpress look, but I seriously researched getting an old letterpress there for a while.  Turns out, they are expensive, hard to find, huge, heavy, and quite complicated if something should go wrong.  After abandoning that path, I realized my only feasible option would be to go with some small crafting machine, but at the time there wasn't anything out there that could do letterpress.  So, I waited.  And then, the L Letterpress came out:

I have wanted to get this for so long, but since I didn't have a manual die cutting machine, it took until now that I think I might actually get one.  Some of the coolest parts of the letterpress is that the dies are compatible with other machines, like Cuttlebug, so you wouldn't have to invest in a whole new system to get started doing letterpress, and you can order custom printing plates.  How cool is that?!

Anyway, if you are interested in seeing what's with all this die cutting, embossing, and letterpress, I am going to be finding out, and you're welcome to watch from afar.  If you are already into it, you can get
