Hi friends! Happy Tuesday! Please join me in welcoming back special monthly guest Cathy Zielske as a special guest on our blog! Be sure to watch the video for all the details, and enjoy!

Hello crafty friends, it’s Cathy Zielske, back with another installment of EZ with CZ. Today I’m sharing how to take a really large die set and make a few choices to simplify the process! The Aurora Blooms die set is packed with 31 dies and I wanted to create a more simplified design like focused around monochromatic card stock blooms.

I grabbed a bunch of little scraps from my scrap bin, keeping them together by color, and then cut out all of my little blooms. Then I cut out the greens, as well, and began to create a simple arrangement. I added my Chin Up Wafer Dies for a greeting of encouragement.

Don’t let a large die set intimidate you! I’m so looking forward to many different card ideas with this set, and starting out simply is always a good way to begin!

Thanks for stopping by!
