Welcome crafters! If you’re looking for more card making ideas, I have some to share. As you may know, our Holiday Catalog products have now been released, and I decided to use one beautiful die from the Stampin Up Amber Autumn bundle, and showcase five different ways to use it. Let’s take a look at them!

Watch along here for details on these five lovely cards!
5 Ways To Use One Die
Here are several ideas to try the next time you are die cutting.
Cut From Plain Cardstock
Ok, this idea might sound boring. But have you ever created a white-on-white card? I just love them!

Cut From Designer Paper
Sometimes I forget this is an option, but it allows you to create some lovely multi-colored die cuts with very little effort!

Blend With Ink
Grab your blending brushes and several ink colors to add lovely color variation. It might be easier to add the color before die cutting, depending on how delicate the die cut is.

Add Color With Watercolor Pencils
For this card, I created the die cut on watercolor paper. Then I casually colored with watercolor pencils and spritzed over the top with water until the colors blended.

Emboss With Multiple Colors
For this technique, add versamark ink to select areas of the die cut with a blending brush, then sprinkle embossing powder over the top. To use multiple colors of embossing powder as I did, sprinkle some areas with one color, shake off the excess, then sprinkle another color onto the remaining exposed ink. Shake off excess, then use your heat tool to set the powder.

Have you tried these ideas before? Which one(s) do you want to try soon?
