I was really anxious to play with the Detailed Floral Thinlits Dies and my Big Shot as soon as I got them, and this Floral Thinlits Thank You Card in Peekaboo Peach is one of the results. I actually started using the Floral Thinlits with the Floral Boutique Designer Series Paper, but of course these Floral Thinlits are beautiful with other colors as well, such as this new In Color Peekaboo Peach. The Peekaboo Peach 3/8″ Ruched Ribbon is gorgeous to use on the card! In fact, the ribbon is so gorgeous, that it is on backorder at the moment. As I write this, it is due to be back in stock around July 11th. You really do have to get your hands on this beautiful ribbon as soon as it is available! The thank you greeting is stamped with the Floral Phrases Stamp Set. Right now the Clear-mount version is backordered but you can purchase the Floral Phrases Clear-Mount Bundle and get both the stamp set and the Thinlits – and save 10%. You can also buy the stamp set in wood-mount. While it is inconvenient and disappointing to have backordered products, it shows that Stampin’ Up! has some real hits in the new catalog!

With these new really intricate dies, if nothing else I would suggest you purchase the Big Shot Die Brush to help get out those little pieces from both the die and the die cut. And if you can take it another step, the Precision Base Plate might be beneficial to you. There is also the new Big Shot Platform that has a special adapter that comes with it and has a raised center portion to work better with these new dies. It probably all depends on your personal Big Shot and how it works for you. If it works on these fancy dies and you’re happy, then no need to purchase any of the newer accessories (except maybe the Big Shot Die Brush!). You can go from there and see what you need.
If you want to be able to make some really elegant cards, these Detailed Floral Thinlits Dies are for you for sure! Check out the Floral Boutique Suite in the new catalog on pages 76-77 and the products online HERE. You will be able to make cards like my Floral Thinlits Thank You Card in Peekaboo Peach and many other variations!
