CAS-ual Friday's Stamps Feature - Building backgrounds with your dies!

Hello friends!! Today I am here for CAS-ual Friday's Stamps  feature post. For this post I am showcasing different ways to use your dies to build backgrounds :)

I have created these cards using the CAS-ual Friday's Funky Square Tag Fri-Dies and CAS-ual Friday's Heart Board Fri-Dies. Besides these, I used Shuffle Fri Dies and Beanstalks, In the cards stamp sets to finish my cards. Here is a look into my cards...

To make these card, I took the die as a guide to trace the number of die cuts I would need to cover my panel. I then cut these dies and inked them in different shades of Distress ink, then I laid them all on the panel. To finish the card, I added the sentiment. You can also work with colored papers/ patterned paper or use different dies to create variations :)

It was fun creating these cards, I hope I was able to inspire you.
Thank you for stopping by and leaving me a comment :)
