Simplify your life by using die cuts!

When was the last time you looked at life through the eyes of a child?
We need to slow down, take a deep breath and take the time to smell the roses or play in the snow! Life is relatively simple for a child ~ capture those moments with pictures. Then use die cuts and simplify your scrapbooking.

Die Cuts turned into Christmas Money Holders.











Great idea mom. . . this year she gave all her kids and grandkids money for Christmas. She did this in a very fun way. She doubled mounted die cuts, used glue dots for depth added a few emblishments, cut out a tag from cardstock, made a pocket on the back and hung them on the tree! They were the cutest tag ordainments around. The exciting part for the grandkids was that there was a 20 dollar bill in the back pocket. Thanks mom ~ what a fun way to use diecuts!!

Glue Dots Add Depth

http://www.nouglydiecuts.com/store-products-F11-SPRING-FLOWER-FRAME_1094378809.html
The scan of this greeting card does not do it justice. This card was made by using the 'flower' diecut and the piece of cardstock directly surrounding it. (most people through this piece away.) What you need to do is place 'glue dots' behind the flower and 'two sided tape' (or what ever you use) for a flat mount on the surrounding area - then press down and the 'flower' will pop up. This is a fun way to use everything - you still have the 'frame' to use another time. The words 'Happy Birthday' was stamped above the 'flowers'. This technique can be used with any of the "Frame with Matching Die Cuts' available on our website.

Eyelets & Corners


This was pretty simple. I just used real eyelets over the printed eyelets. Just a little bit of work and the "Give Thanks" stands out. The button corners were inventory #C64 and #CL408 (Scarecrow) these two are identical Cut-Outs just one is larger. I also used inventory #C65 (Give Thanks).

Glitter Glue

How easy is this?? Put yellow glitter glue on the headlights then put glitter glue on a yellow brad or two and you've coordinated it all together. This idea would be a HUGE hit in your child's scrapbook. Or use this idea when making your greeting cards, as shown above.

Colors don't have to Match!

Some of my favorite pages are when I use die cuts that don't even match the color scheme. I think they jump out and say "look at me ~ I'm different and it's OK!"


I purchased some stick on fake rhinestone type gems and put them on the flowers to sparkle them up.
