Nesting dies with American Crafts

Hello all!  Yesterday I had a post up at American Crafts with a couple of layouts featuring the new nesting dies that came out at winter CHA.

Love This Layout



































I had fun with this layout.  I had this sweet photo of my dog Lilo and I just had to use it on a
layout!  Nesting dies are a great way to jazz up your layouts.  I use them to create fun titles and embellishments.  I also love that they are small and convenient so that I can take them along with me when I go to crops.

To create this layout I started off by using watercolor paints on a white cardstock background.  I then used the nesting die hearts (that come in two sizes) to make my fun colorful background.  I placed the smaller heart inside the larger heart before die cutting to get the double heart cut.  I loved playing with these shapes, so cute!

Happy Place Layout





























































I also die cut the love and xoxo words and the small camera.  Photo is of my two children featured right with their two cousins.
