Ideas For Using Large Letter Dies on Handmade Cards

Design Team Member Kate is on a mission to use what she already has in her paper craft stash. Through the years she's collected several of the trendy large word dies. Today she's diving into ideas to stretch her dies with some clever handmade card designs for large words and large letter dies.

And if you are a Cricut or Silhouette user, you can recreate these ideas in your cutting software using your favorite font. 

Large Letter Die Idea #1

Use some strips (or here she used some slice dies) and layer cardstock on a solid card panel the size of your finished card. Once you've created a panel of cardstock strips, cut the large word dies from the panel and use some foam tape to pop up the word, then mount the card panel on a folded card base. 

You can also do the reverse and pop up the negative of the panel, leaving the word as a lower layer. 

Supplies:

• Encore Textured Cardstock Variety Pack
• Color Block Slices Die from Spellbinders
• Hi Die (not sure of the manufacturer but MFT has a similar one)
• Sentiment Stamp from Hero Arts
