Welcome stampers. When I’m in my craft area, I love to look at a specific product and come up with a lot of ways to use it. For today’s tutorial, I decided to pick one single die and share creative ways to use it. It’s a background/overlay die from the Stampin Up True Beauty bundle, and I’m excited to share some creative ways to use it and hopefully help inspire your creativity a bit! Let’s take a look.

This is a lovely set with simple flowers, coordinating dies, and one big gorgeous background die. Below I’ll share eight different ways to use these products!
Eight Ways To Use One Die
There are far more than eight ways to use the overlay die in this collection, but I’ll share eight here. For the first three, you’ll want to create a stencil or mask by cutting the die from a durable material like window sheets.
1. Use Stencil For Blending
Learn more about blending brushes here.
2. Use Stencil For Spritzing
3. Apply Paste Over Stencil
Learn more about embossing paste here.
4. Create A Shaker Card

5. Leave The Die Cut Partially Filled With The Leftovers
6. Weave With Ribbon Or Paper Strips
For the last two ideas, I’m sharing ways to use the ‘trash’ pieces!
7. Full Coverage

Why is it that I can pick up a die and not envision the many ways to use it?! Online galleries give samples but I lose hours scanning all the cards. I’ve saved this post into a document, in a folder under the specific Stampin Up bundle’s name. This will be a more specific search for me. Thank you for these ideas!
