Different Ways To Use Die Cut Words and Phrases
Check out some fun ways to make cards using your die cut words and phrases!
Today I have created a little collection of pretty cards that all use the same card base/layer construction and are different only in their colors and how I used my die cut words and phrases. You can see that using just a couple of fun and easy die cutting techniques combined with small details can give you endless creative opportunities! And if this post looks a little familiar, you are correct! I used this same basic idea in this post some time ago and I love that the techniques I shared back then have endured. There’s nothing like a classic! For these cards I used Spring Word w/ Shadow, Friend Script w/ Shadow, Hello Script w/ Shadow, Happy Script w/ Shadow, Birthday Script w/ Shadow, You Script w/ Shadow, Flower Buds, Flower Stems and Build a Phrase #1.
Hello Friend
For this card I used the die cut words without the shadow pieces.
- Cut the Hello and Friend words using purple cardstock.
- Use white cardstock to cut the scalloped layer.
- Place the scalloped layer back on the cutting platform and secure the Hello and Friend in place and cut. Pro Tip: I used a magnet platform to line up and hold the words in place. If you don’t have a magnet platform you can secure the dies in place with a few pieces of tape.
- Carefully remove the scalloped layer to make sure to keep all the tiny negative pieces.
- Place the scalloped layer face down on your desk and apply double stick tape to cover the word openings. Pro Tip: I performed this task on a craft sheet to avoid the tape sticking to my work surface.
- Turn the scallop layer face up and secure the Hello and Friend to the tape in the openings.
- Insert the tiny negative white loop pieces to fill in the words.
- Attach the scalloped layer to the card base using strips of mounting tape.
- Cut the tiny flowers and form the tiny flowers using a small tipped stylus.
- Use green cardstock to cut the stems, cut a few small leaves and attach them to a few key spots on the words using glossy accents.
- Finish by attaching the tiny flowers to the green leaves using glossy accents.
Happy Spring
For this card I cut the white layer using the shadow die cut and inserted it back in the opening. .
- Cut the Spring shadow piece out of the white scalloped layer, turn the white face down, apply double stick tape to the opening and secure the shadow back in place.
- Stamp the Happy word on the white layer using black ink.
- Cut the Spring word using yellow cardstock and attach it to the shadow using glossy accents.
- Cut the tiny flowers and leaves and secure in place using glossy accents. Note: I used different pastel colored flowers to add a an additional springy touch.
Happy For You and Happy Birthday
For both of these cards I popped the shadow pieces up using mounting tape.
- Cut the shadow sections using white cardstock and the script words using colored cardstock.
- Attach the script words using glossy accents.
- Pop the shadow and words up on the card bases using mounting tape.
- Finish both cards with the tiny flowers and leaves.
