This one’s for anyone who has ever stared at a die set and thought, “there has to be more I can do with this.” Several ways to stretch the dies you already own — no new dies required. The only other thing you’ll need is a foam sheet.

If you’ve been holding off on buying more dies because you’re not sure you’re getting your money’s worth out of the ones you have, you’re in the right place. In this live technique tutorial, I’ll walk through several different ways to use a single die set, and I’ll be answering questions as we go, so bring the die you’re stuck on.

Whether you are a beginner or looking to refine your paper crafting techniques, these ideas work with whatever dies you already own. You’ll see how a die can do far more than its obvious cut, and how to get more use out of your supplies without adding anything new to your craft room.

Techniques I covered using one die set:

  • Stamping
  • Stencilling
  • Layered stencilling
  • Embossing
  • Letter-pressing
  • Masking
  • Background patterns

Here’s the list of supplies I’m planning to use during the livestream. I’ll update the list if needed.
