Good idea. I'm now thinking about sentiment dies I don't have a shadow for.

[@katherinelavender5582]

Love this idea. While I own some, I am spray -shy. I will absolutely give this a try. Thank you.

[@ap85jp87]

A magnet would pull them off easily - great idea. thank you!

[@andrealavigne7824]

Never saw or thought of doing this, Jess - wonderful technique! I can't swear to it, since as I said, I've never tried using dies as masks, but I would think when it's time to pick them up, you could use a magnet rather than your fingers. My first thought was a magnetic want like you can find at hardware/home improvement stores. But then I realized that, if you have a MISTI or something similar, you probably already have a strong magnet that would work. And if your background is already splattery-looking, you shouldn't have to worry if any ink/stain might drip or splatter off your dies when you pick them up with the magnet. That way (I would think, anyway), you wouldn't have to worry about them shifting on the paper when you move your project aside for it to dry. Anyway, just an idea. Thank you for sharing this, and I really like how your card turned out. Take care, & have an awesome day! :)

Great idea

[@M1326]

Wonderful idea... I think I will give it a try, but use a magnet to lift off the dies... I think Spellbinders has a magnet handle with release...

[@andrealavigne7824]

Funny, because I just suggested the same thing before I saw your comment. Great minds...! :)

[@DeenaSowell]

LOVE this idea!!! Thank you so much for sharing and showing! Beautiful colors and layout, too!

[@nancyhinojosa8901]

Beautiful card and love your technique ❤

[@robinheath6608]

Fun method. Suggestion: the dies could be picked up with a magnet if you pull straight "up".

[@JoanOrloffDK]

Beautiful cards 🥰 I love your technique, your color choices and your card designs ❤ thanks for sharing your creativity Hugs xx

[@mandyhall1674]

Love the techniques and the card. Thanks Jess and have a great day.

[@jettielewis8677]

Great idea! This takes it up a level! Will have to try this! I am thinking hearts for Valentine's Day!

[@jesseb5112]

I have never thought of this. Great cards!!

[@deloresangus6687]

Wonderful idea. I like a bit of border on my diecuts. I can always add ink if I choose.

[@deb1623]

Never saw this before.Great idea! I will have to try this. Wish we had discount craft stores in Toledo.

[@ingrid2543]

Oh that was fun! A new technique, thanks

[@jennifermaddock4382]

I would never have thought of this but it's a great idea.

[@dariasikorski7217]

Nice cars, great idea!

[@olivemaycards]

Great idea! Maybe I do need some sprays…

[@judytracy5231]

Another awesome idea. Thanks

[@josephinemoyer8510]

Really cool idea. I can’t wait to try it!

[@teresazuehls783]

I really love this look and it's another way to use your dies!❤

[@PaperSquirrelsCardDesigns]

Cool idea!

[@lolal1026]

Try using a magnet to lift &/or down the dies
