Playing with Die Cuts: Ideas and Inspiration

I thought I'd showcase some ideas with die cut apertures today.  If you click on the link each time, it will take you to a step by step description of each project.

 A simple die cut aperture against a stamped and stencilled background (see HERE).

The same die used on the front of an anniversary card (see HERE).

And again, but this time used to create a shaker card (see HERE).

A dimensional card against a scene using a different die from the same set (see HERE).

Finally, colouring on glitter using the Pair of Waxwings from the Pairs of Birds die set (see HERE).
