Hi there, YNS fans! I hope you had a fantastic weekend. It’s Thanh here with a quick tutorial on how to make the most of YNS dies.

Here’s the simple card I made using the diamond from the YNS Must Have Borders Die Set 2:

Clean and simple, right? Here are all the dies that come in that set:

No chevron die you say? I used the negative to create the chevron!

Run the first of several cuts through your die cutting machine of choice (I use a Cuttlebug).

Keep going!

… Keep going!

After several run throughs with with same diamond shape die, you get the above cuts.

If you remove the positive and choose to use the negative cuts, you have your chevron border!

The above photo just shows that sometimes, you can really stretch your cardstock as well! If you have an image covering the die, you can always make it shorter, thus saving your cardstock and cutting it in half.

Voila! You never know what other different shapes you can create using YNS dies. Do you create your own die cuts using other shapes? Please share.

Thanks for dropping in. <3 Thanh
