Today's Tip - Die Cuts

A staple of any scrapbooker is die cuts. There are a plethora of different die cuts available and with new technology in scrapbooking, you can cut out a die cut to match any project.  And there are so many ways to use them!  Alphabets, licensed characters, or just about anything, die cuts have come a long way from just plain old shapes!  But don’t think that die cuts are just for paper or cardstock!

Think about adding some dimension and texture by using materials such as acetate, craft foam, felt, sand paper and more.  Whatever you choose to cut, be sure that the thickness of your material will fit in your die cut machine; otherwise, the sky really is the limit!
