Day Nineteen of Stamping & Cardmaking

Day Nineteen of Stamping & Cardmaking

Welcome to another day in our series!  Today's focus is using die-cuts for cardmaking.  In the Two Peas store you will find die-cuts pre-made and ready to go, tools to create your own with your die-cutting machines, and finally, digital kits that can be downloaded and used with a digital die-cutter (like the Silhouette, Cricut and Wishblade for example).  Whichever way you opt to use die-cuts in your projects, you'll find them to be a versatile embellishment that adds an extra "pop" to your creations.

Designer Laina Lamb loves hybrid and traditional crafting.  She creates kits with designs that can be used with a digital die-cutter and sells them in the Two Peas store.  Laina has created a cheery set of cards paired with her designs and posted them here!

We've dug into the archives to find a resource you may find helpful in using digital files for your die-cutting.  This lesson from Nichol Magouirk includes a video that demonstrates how she uses her Silhouette machine and die-cutting for a scrapbook page.

Love the digital card but I don't do digital. Too complicated. Love Lucy Abrams card with the butterflies. Would love to learn how she did that.

I made a card for this challenge but am not sure it's in the right place. Any help would be appreciated. TY

Hi tndj - I would recommend sending Lucy a PeaMail message as I'm sure she'd love to share her steps with you. I believe she used a die-cut machine and then used the negative.

Misscindy, I'm glad this post inspired you to create a card! This day did not have a challenge associated with it, but we'd love for you to share a link to your card here or on the message boards. :)
