Using Just The Die Cut Frames

One great way to get your scrapbook supplies to stretch is by purchasing "Die Cuts with Matching Frames". You don't have to use them together that's the fun of it. These two pages were put together by using up "frames" that were not used when their die cuts were. 

Our website No Ugly Die Cuts carries 117 different
"Die Cuts with Matching Frames"
spread throughout our 21 categories.

Why Do We Scrapbook?

We scrapbook to safeguard our memories. What's going to happen when we are gone? What will our children remember about us? How about your grandchildren and great-grandchildren? In order for your significant moments to live on forever, it is very important to organize them.

Getting all your photographs into the same area is vital. Once you have them all together it will be easier to sit down and get to work. You took your pictures for a reason - now let your posterity know why.

Keeping your photographs safe is essential. Make sure you use only acid-free and lignin free products when scrapbooking your photos.

Another reason we scrapbook is to have fun! Scrapbooking can be simple or very complicated. There is so much available to help you. One very easy, inexpensive and cute way to scrapbook is to use die cuts. I have found that illustrated diecuts are a fantastic way to liven up scrapbook pages! Make scrapbooking fun - then have fun looking back on your memories!

You Can Embellish Your Die Cuts

Enhance die cuts by simply adding a "brad" or a stick on "gem".  Taking the time to "layer" a die cut with paper is another way to embellish.  Below are a few ways we've done this.

"Oh Boy!" Cut Outs

"Cut Outs" are a very inexpensive embellishment for your scrapbooks. Scissors and glue is all you will need to bring your scrapbook pages to life.

Come check out all of our sets of 4 "Cut Outs".  We carry 17 different sets spread out in 12 different categories on our site.  Here is a link to our "Oh Boy!" #2 and "Oh Boy!" #3.

4th of July Cut-Outs Turn into Die Cuts Using Your Scissors

Cut Outs are a great value for their price.  All it takes is a little effort on your  part and a good pair of scissors. (Just a silly note - My children love to pull faces anytime my camera comes out!  In fact my 8 year old crosses his eyes every time I take his picture!)

Fun with Summer Die Cuts

Here is a link to the die cuts we used

 when we created these two matching pages.

Pool Boy (D158), Drink With Straw (D272), Swimming Flippers (D782) and Red Flip-Flops (D757)

We cut the 'ball' off of the foot of the 'pool boy'

 so that it would work with our pictures.

"Once again what can we say. . . . .

"Fishing You a Reel Happy Birthday!"

What a fun way to use up some of your scrap paper! Just layer away and turn some of your die cuts into cards! A rust colored ink pad was used to rub around the edges of this card. (pictures show front and inside of card.) Fishing Rod (D720) and Fishing Hat #2 (D738).
