TAG BUILDER BLUEPRINTS 2

Tags are such a versatile design element — whether you integrate them into your card designs or use them to accent a package, they always provide interest and an ideal base for sentiments and imagery. With the Tag Builder Blueprints 2 die set, you’ll love to mix and match three tag bases with three unique tag toppers. Hole reinforcements are provided to strengthen the hole in anticipation of a bit of twine or string and to add one more pop of color if you so desire. This die set has been updated to remove holiday-themed elements and provide more versatility to your craft stash.

BLUEPRINTS 23

Peek-a-boo holes and stitched details are some of the standout features of Blueprints 23. Use the trio of peek-a-boo circles to frame images or sentiments — either within your card front or as part of a layering piece. A scalloped border dies allow you to create a tidy stitched detail along the straight edge…feature it prominently or tuck it under other elements if it doesn't fit your design plan. The large rectangle panel includes stitching along both long edges making it a beautiful pairing with the scalloped border. Complete your look by adding your greeting stamped on one of two included sentiment strips. This set has been modified from the original design be removing extraneous elements and narrowing the width of the scalloped border.

BLUEPRINTS 24

Blueprints 24 is prime for kickstarting your next project! Construct your card design on a stitched rectangle base and layer on banner shapes, a rounded corner sentiment strip, and tab. Use the circle to create either a window element or a layering piece with a stitched perimeter. Alternatively, try stringing together a decorative banner for a party or holiday theme with the two included banner elements — one featuring two rounded corners and the other, a fishtail flag design with stitched detailing. This set has been modified from the original design be eliminating extraneous elements, adding a stitched perimeter to the fishtail banner element, and removing stitching from the tab element.

Always fun to have a chance at getting a retired die!

kathleen dumpert February 19, 2024

One of my very first set of dies was the basic rectangle set (a2) It’s no exaggeration to say that I have used that set at least a 1000 times. Still going strong! The basics are a must have. My advice to people who are just starting out in the card/crafting world—get yourself a basic set, you won’t be sorry. Thanks MFT for the years of solid, fab products.

Mary February 19, 2024

Basics are such a good way to start a collection! I especially love the tags! (and the Blueprints — so useful).

RobiW February 19, 2024

Some of my very first “basic” die sets are from MFT. Love seeing these Blueprints back again!

Blueprints 31! I love that set! Glad to see it’s making a comeback :)
