Die Versatility Series: Combining Dies to Create a Single Panel

It's Emily Leiphart here and this is the start of my Die Versatility Series. Kim planted this idea in my head a few months ago and I'm finally getting around to sharing ideas on how to get more out of your Paper Smooches dies.



This idea comes from a previous card I made using the Wicked Nauticool stamp set, Nauticool Dies and Borders 1 Dies. Following that creation, many Paper Smooches fans asked me how I created that single panel so that's what I'm here to show you today!



Here are a few stills of the projects shared in this video:


Stamp sets and dies used in this video include Borders 1 DiesEnchanted Elves, Elf Icons Dies, Giddy Gumdrops, Gumdrops Icons Dies, Woofers & Tweeters, Woofers Dies and Cuteasaurus.

Thanks so much for stopping by!

AWESOME tutorial, Emily. Great explanation, multiple views of the technique in action; the viewer is left very confident of their ability to reproduce your results. I think you need to ask Santa to bring you a Sizzix magnetic platform for your die-cutting. Makes the partial cuts even easier.♡
