Adding Color using Coordinating Dies + Picket Fence Release

Hi there, crafty friends. Today’s cards show how you can add color to your images using your coordinating dies…

I love to stretch the use of my coordinating dies. They can be used for so much more than just die-cutting your stamped images. For today’s cards, I used THESE coordinating dies and cut them from THIS fun foam. I adhere them temporarily on to an acrylic block and ink them up just like any stamp. The fun foam stamps beautifully and quickly adds color to THESE birds that I stamped.

For the first card…

I stamped the birds in THIS circle frame and added a sentiment from THIS stamp set along the bottom. I used THIS die to add some stitching along the border of the panel. I wanted a rainbow background so I used THESE life changing brushes to apply ink to the card base.

For the second card…

I used my MISTI to stamp a few rows of the bird images. After I applied color with the foam die-cuts, I stamped a sentiment from THIS stamp set on one of THESE hearts. I also die-cut a larger heart from THIS vellum to go behind the smaller heart. I used the same stitched rectangle die as the first card to add a border around the panel and adhered the entire piece to a gray note card.

I hope this inspires you to die-cut your coordinating dies from fun foam and use them as stamps to add color to your stamped images.
