Video Friday | Mixing & Matching Dies + Embellishing with Nuvo Drops
Hello everyone. This is Nichol Spohr and I’m so excited to be here today with this sweet little die cut scene card featuring dies from several of the Die D-Lites collection dies!

Video Friday | Stenciled Scene Shaker Backgrounds
Hello everyone. This is Nichol Spohr and thank you for joining me! Today I’m sharing how to layer stencils to create a seasonal background scene for a die cut image. I’m layering inking and stenciling with embossing paste and stencils and finishing it all with an interactive shaker element!
