Tuesdays with Tammy: Multiple uses for one die
Dies can be used for only one thing...
April Fools! Dies are versatile and can be used a number of ways -- even if they are designed to be used for invitations. I love to see our basic stationery dies used on scrapbook pages or even as an accent on an album.
The best way to show you this is with lots of examples of projects used with one die -- our Circle-Scalloped die is a perfect example. It's a Clear Cuts see-through die, and that means it is made of acrylic and you can see through it. For invitations you would print out your words on a piece of cardstock and then position it on the die looking through the acrylic before you cut it.
The Brunch Invitation below is a great place to start. This is a classic use of what the die was made for.
Here is another classic use for another Shower Invitation:
Need a Baby Announcement? Look no further...
Now, let's step out of our stationery-use comfort zone with this die. Here it is used on this Sunshine 8" x 8" page as a background element.
And one more.... I would love to show you pictures of my girls. Going to at least one Nebraska Husker football game each season is a tradition in our family. Our pictures fit perfectly inside those scalloped circles on this 12" x 12" Our Girls Are Growing page -- and Marissa and Callie loved their flower photos!
That's just one example of a die and a few different ways it can be used. I challenge you to look at the dies you have and think about how else you can use them -- and then show someone else!
One last note... the Circle-Scalloped die we've been looking at also appears in our Stationery Ensemble-Scalloped Cards die set that is a steal at $250. Gotta have it!
