Making Die Cuts Fun Again

With so many choices for embellishments it doesn't take much to break your check book these days. That's one of the things I love most about die cuts. One purchase and you can get an unlimited supply of your favorite embellishment. And...it can look different every time you use it

In my layout here I used a few of the Cuttlekids dies from Provo Craft. I mixed them up and made them fun by cutting them from different patterned papers. By using one die cut and cutting it from a different patterned paper you can change the feel of the die cut instantly.	Click here to see Heather's Layout with Product Listing.
Anne was able to get double duty out of her Paisley die cut. She used it to create the appearance of splashing water.	Click here to see Anne's Layout with Product Listing.
Using the Walk in My Garden Cricut Cartridge Kimber created this fabulous Spring layout. I love her leaf border. And even though it's a pretty basic die cut, it still looks very trendy on this layout. Her die cut bugs add just enough color to really make the layout pop and enhance the colors from her photos.
