Today I am sharing 3 cards using just one die! The LARGE OUTLINE THANKS die gives you so many options to play with and it’s one of those dies you will be using again and again through out the year. I also grabbed my distress oxides, both inks pads and sprays and had a lot of fun creating backgrounds.
Watch the video above for a step by step tutorial on how I made all these cards and check out below some close-up photos

This ‘Thanks’ die is really great. Love the versatility!
This is my favorite die from the release! I love your cards!! I think this is a very versatile die!! Can’t wait to get mine!! Thank you for sharing, Vicky!
I like how you can get so many looks with this one die.
These are all fantastic Vicky, its hard to pick a fave from anything that you do but I do love the shaker. The Oxide spays intrigued me so that may be why I chose that one but they really are all awesome. Well done as always.

You take something simple and turn it into something amazing. These are all beautiful, but the last one is my favorite because of the background and the colors you used.
Ooh that’s a great showcase of the die! It is so versatile and I love how you used the skinny letters in the last card! 🙂
I love this die! I like them all, but I think the second card might be my favorite.

Always beautiful Vicky. You are a true professional and have been given some God given talents. I always enjoy watching you create. My favorite is the blue/green one, just like yours. The black offset does make it stand out perfectly. Merry Christmas.
Youdefinitely got three different looks with the same die. I liked the card with the skinny letters the most out of the three, but all are great cards!
Your cards are Super Fun and Fabulous!!!
