It's taken me a while but I'm slowly incorporating die cutting more and more into my cards. The Tim Holtz On the Edge dies add a really interesting dimension to your card shape too.
The card below uses the Memory Box bird cage cut twice with the bird trapped inside.
I used the left over aperture cut out to decorate the inner using the next size up as a border.

Lovely work, Carol! I recently got the butterflies on ebay, but haven't really played yet - this is full of inspiration! I love the 'shadow' butterflies on the back of the card - beautifully done!

lol, I've just posted a die cutting post too! Love how the butterflies stand up on the top of this card, both inside and out. I'm so, so tempted by the snowflake on the edge die

These are stunning and look so complex.

Fabulous cards Carol! Love the 'trapped' butterflies. I really should use my dies more often - you might have just set me a challenge lol ;).
Very cool designs! Love the butterfly edge! The 3D cage is wonderful! Beautiful cards.
Love that colour combo on the second one - great idea to use them that way too. Nice to see your die cut creations x
