Alternative Die Ideas

July 1, 2020 by Heather Holbrook

Alternative Die Ideas

I love seeing the creativity of others who can turn a stamp, punch or die into something completely different. Ardyth designed this bee and shark card using a rocket ship die from Ellen Hutson, how clever is that!? And for even more on the bee card she used a heart shaped die for the wings. So cool!

Visit the Ellen Hutson blog for a video how to.
