Whenever I get a new bundle, whether it is bundled with a punch or dies, I stamp a whole bunch of the images and punch/die cut them out. This helps with the designing process later because you already have a selection of pieces to choose from and the creativity process flows so easily!
For the Bonanza Buddies bundle, I simply chose coordinating colours from the DSP - Daffodil Delight, Mango Melody, Smoky Slate, Coastal Cabana, Bermuda Bay, Grapefruit Grove, Memento Tuxedo Black - stamped each character three times, a few party hats and some balloons. I later realized there were two adorable banner dies so I did those in a variety of colours too.
Doing all the stamping at once, and then spending 10 minutes to die cut everything at the same time saved me SO much time! It probably only took me an hour to make 6 projects using most of these die cuts, instead of an hour per card if I had to stamp/die cut the characters and pieces I needed for each card as I went.
Stay tuned for the projects I created - an Online Class will be available soon too!
