Making the Most of Your Nested Die Shapes

 

Here is a fun idea I got from Connie Stewart’s blog at Simply Simple Stamping a few years ago, and it’s worth revisiting.

Take any set of die cuts that have the same shape in different sizes. Some examples from Stampin’ Up! are the Stitched Shapes, Stitched Rectangles, ovals, circles, etc.

Put 3 of the dies on cardstock to make 2 open shapes and one solid one. Then use the smallest shape to cut out a piece stamped with a sentiment.

Stamp and assemble the card as shown.

Here is the card from Connie’s original post, which inspired me to try it. If you would like more detailed instructions with the measurements, please leave me a comment with your email address.
