April Technique Cards - Die Cut Inlay

Here's a fun, easy and alternate way to use your die cuts. Inlay them to give them center stage!

Cut out the die cut piece from coordinating cardstock, use a die that is detailed, this will really add to the card and make it pop. Layer the cut out piece negative onto a layer, then inlay a coordinating cut out piece. What is even better, you get to make a card with the leftover inlay and layere.
