One Die, Two Cards

Hello, Artzy friends!

Today I am sharing how I created two cards by cutting a die cut from the Wacky Boxes die one time, and using it as stencil.

After cutting white cardstock with the die, I laid it over another panel of white cardstock and ink blended over them with 4 colors of Distress Oxide Inks.



For the first card, I cut the word "hello" out of black cardstock with the Hello Word die.  I cut the word out two times, layered it together, and heat embossed it with clear embossing powder for a little dimension. This die also comes with a shadow layer and a tag layer, giving you lots of options. 



For the second card, I added a cute little bird and sentiment to the stenciled panel I created. The Little Birdie stamp set  coordinates with the Leaf Background die; the bird image is cut out with the leaf shaped die from the Leaf Background die set! 




I hope you'll try using your background dies as stencils and getting two cards with one die cut!
