We all love word dies for making fabulous cards, scrapbook pages, collages, and more. In this video demonstration, I'll introduce you to a fun technique using the Amazing Thanks Dies and all our word dies. Watch, then put your word dies to use in a new way!
Cutting Dimensions for Fresh Freesia Thanks Card:
- Card base = 5 1/2" x 8 1/2", score and fold at 4 1/4" on long side
- Card stock layer on front = 5 1/4" x 4"
- Basic White inside = 5 1/4" x 4"
Below you'll see additional ways to use the Amazing Thanks Dies. I love having several ways we can use our Stampin' Up! products.
For this card I used both the Amazing Silhouette Stamp Set and Amazing Thanks Dies. Stamping in Shaded Spruce ink directly onto the Heart & Home Designer Series Paper really adds a lot of interest to this card. Card stock colors used were Shaded Spruce and Basic Gray.
Cutting Dimensions for Tree Thanks Card above:
- Card base = 5 1/2" x 8 1/2", score and fold at 4 1/4" on long side
- Card stock layer on front = 5" x 3 3/4"
- DSP = 4 7/8" x 3 5/8"
- Basic White inside = 5 1/4" x 4"
Cutting Dimensions for You Are Amazing Card above:
- Card base = 5 1/2" x 8 1/2", score and fold at 4 1/4" on long side
- DSP 1 = 5 1/4" x 4"
- DSP 2 = 5 1/4" x 2"
- Basic White inside = 5 1/4" x 4"
Making one card is fun but making two is even better. You can die cut once and make 2 cards by using both the negative and positive pieces from your die cutting. As shown in the pair of cards below, I die cut the word Thanks from Pattern Party DSP. I used that large piece of DSP with the words cut out for one card front and and adhered the die cut word itself to the front of a second card. Card stock used to make this card is Granny Apple Green and Basic White.
Cutting Dimensions for Granny Apple Green Thanks Cards above:
- Card bases = 5 1/2" x 8 1/2", score and fold at 4 1/4" on long side
- Basic White layer on front = 5" x 3 3/4"
- DSP or Basic White layer = 4" x 3 1/2"
- DSP strip on 2nd card = 4" x 3/8"
- Basic White inside = 5 1/4" x 4"
- Die cut 'thanks' from DSP. Use the DSP with word hole on 1st card. Use die cut 'thanks' on 2nd card.
