Get the most of an Express Edge Die


Hey friends....do I have a treat for you today. I have been playing around with Die-Versions new Express Edge die called Enjoy Life. You can use the die as intended with both words OR you can carefully snip across either word to make the die work 3 ways.







Now I must admit that the coloring technique is not my idea...I saw some inventive card maker take a black and white image (Lighthouse by TiddlyInks), stamp twice and color just a small portion, then use a circle punch and adhere it to the card. So cute!!! 


The Enjoy Life edge die was snipped carefully to just say Enjoy.


And for the rest of the die.....



"Life" was added to this Polaroid frame. Rest of sentiment is from Unity Stamps and image is Tree-mendous by Penny Black. Some red & white twine and a cute little button...done!!



Thanks for stamping by.....

Great idea to divide the die cut. Love your design on both and the spotlighting technique used on the lighthouse is wonderful.

This is really cute. Love the black white combo with just a pop of red.
