My first rosettes made with the Vagabond, I’m so excited! I also did a sample of the pretty lacey boarder die as well.
The first one I made was the polka-dot one and I backed it with thin tape so it wouldn’t tear (see 3rd photo of the backs, which are ugly, but it doesn’t matter since they’ll be glued down), something I saw Tim Holtz do in one of his videos. It actually made it difficult to glue together because it was too thick, so the next one I made (the black one) I left off the tape and it went together just fine as did the white one.
For the centers of the first two I used buttons from my collection; a sticker button was used on the white one. They’re about 2-inches across, a good size for cards, scrapbooking or even hair clips.
I would highly recommend this die, it’s easy to use, was a lot of fun to play around with, and I’m looking forward to making a gazillion more!
P.S. My apologies for using such a busy tray to photographs these. I’ll work on finding a plain one.
I made my hubby a card for Valentine’s Day and the anniversary of our first date, all rolled into one. It definitely looks homemade, the verse is dorky, but he was sweet to make a big deal of it. “Roses are red, violets are blue, today is special, cause it’s our anniversary, too!”

(Almost) Full view of the Toothless puppet- animatronics.
Interestingly, the rig that makes it move is put behind it, to allow for Toothless to crouch low to the ground. A different set up from Gronckles, Nadders and Nightmares, who have their rigs underneath their bellies.
(look at those padded feet, ha ha!)

GAHH! From one of my all-time favorite movies! I’d pay good money to see this in person.
