Fresh Bloom Release Blog Hop-Day 2

Hello, crafty friends. I’m so excited to be part of the blog hop today celebrating THIS new release. I have three cards to share…

First, how cute are THESE bunnies!? I stamped and colored three of the images and used THESE coordinating dies to cut them out. There are some great coordinating sentiments in that set as well that I white heat embossed on each card.

I’m always trying to find ways to stretch the use of my dies. For these cards, I die-cut single image dies multiple times to achieve a background die look. You can do this technique with any single image dies but I particular like using dies that do not cut the entire image out, like the dies I used today. They only cut the inside of the stitched line, not the entire image.

I used THIS die to create the background on the first card….

I used THIS die on this card…

I used THIS die on the final card…

I hope this has inspired you to try using single image dies to cover an entire background.
