Birthday Cards

Stretch Your Stash – Using Seasonal Die Sets All Year Round

Hello Crafters! How are you? Are you ready to get out your seasonal dies and look at them in a new light?! I’ve used Spellbinders’ Dancin’ Halloween release to show how if you look carefully at seasonal products, you can often find ways to stretch them so that they can be used all year round. This is also a great way to make decisions when you’re buying new supplies – how many ways can you think of to use them so that you can get the most for your money?!

One of the cards that I’ve created for today’s video shows how the dies are designed to be used – to create a really cute Day of the Dead skeleton that dances on your card (the girl’s whole body moves, and the boy’s legs move). For the other two, I’ve used the accessories that come with the sets to create some fab birthday cards that could be used all year round.

Check out the video tutorial below, then scroll to the bottom to find any of the supplies you may need. I hope it gives you lots of ideas to get more from your seasonal stash!
