Old Town Street Cafe

I am so excited to introduce the new fabulous Vincent House die set!

So let's see what makes this die so special:

You might think that this is the set of three old townhouses (and they really can be used this way), BUT: 

  • why are some of the windows and doors cut out and some debossed?
  • why are the windows of the house in the middle are such unusual shape?
  • why is there only one roof? 

The answer is simple – these dies are meant to be LAYERED!

Watch the VIDEO tutorial for the detailed explanation! 

 

To WIN this unique die just leave a comment down below! And for more chances to win the new Poppystamps dies comment on all posts of the Blog Blitz (April 14 to April 27).
