- Paper doilies make great substitutes for fancy circle dies.
- For a shadow effect, die-cut letters from colored card and then again from black or gray card. Off-set the black or gray letters behind the colored ones and stick to your base.
- Die-cuts can be embellished by coloring with markers, chalks, watercolors etc. and enhanced with glitter, pastes, Glossy Accents, etc.
- To prevent your card from getting stuck in an intricate die, place a sheet of wax paper between the die and the card.
- Investing in sets of circles, squares and ovals is smart as you will use these shapes over and over again.
- Die-cutting photographs is fast and an easy way to frame them.
