Video Friday | Copic Colored Holiday Die D-Lites with Nichol
Hello everyone. This is Nichol Spohr and I’m so excited to be sharing a set of three Christmas cards featuring dies from the 2018 Holiday Die D-Lites Collection. I die cut the Die D-Lites Reindeer, Santa, and Snowman Dies from smooth white cardstock and colored in the pieces with Copic Markers before assembling and adhering to a Fancy Edged Oval. The Copic coloring gives these die cuts so much depth and dimension and is a great way to customize your die cuts! The backgrounds for all three cards were created by stamping a plaid background builder stamp on smooth white cardstock with light gray ink and either red, green, or…

Die D-Lites Holiday Inspiration | Christmas Tree Cards with Kimberly Crawford
Hello everyone! Kimberly Crawford back again today to share another peek at the Holiday Die D-Lites. I don’t know about you, but when I get a brand-new set of dies, I cut them right away. That way I can see what they look like, see the size, see the details, see all the good stuff! So often I get so focused on the image (positive cut image) that I forget to take a look at the left-over pieces (negative image). Christmas Tree Die D-Lites are a perfect example of a set of dies that have incredible positive and negative images! The original die cut image is meant to layer together…

Die D-Lites Holiday Inspiration | More Christmas Cards with Enza Gudor
Hello there! This is Enza Gudor, and today I’m back to share a new set of cards showcasing the adorable Holiday Die D-Lites Dies. You can find my first post here. I decided to go with a less traditional color scheme this time: pink and teal, with touches of red and green. For the first card, I used the Die D-Lites Christmas Dies and the Die D-Lites Snowflakes Dies. I started by adhering a 4×5.5” teal plaid patterned paper onto an A2 sized pink dotted paper. I then assembled the tree. I love that this set comes with two dies that allow you to create separate layers and have fun with colors and patterns!…

Die D-Lites Holiday Inspiration | Jumping into Christmas Cards with Laurie Willison
Hello Crafty Friends! It’s Laurie Willison here. I am so glad you are joining me today. If you are like me, you start your Christmas cards early. For me, I like to do a stack of 5-10 cards every so often so I don’t get overwhelmed in making all my Christmas cards at once. Today, I am here to share one clean and simple card and a tag using Holiday D-lites Dies. To create this card, I used the D-lites Snowflakes dies to create an dry embossed pattern on the card front. I attached the embossed panel to the aqua card base with fun foam for some dimension. Next, I…
