Creative Ways with Arch Nesting Dies and Mintay Papers

This challenge to myself was to come up with some creative ways to use Arch shaped Nesting Dies. These are just some of the ideas, so there may be a Part 2 in the future.

I used Mintay's Wildwood Secrets, but they would look great in any papers from your stash. I have also included some tips on how to recreate this shape if you haven't got the Arch shaped dies. All info is in my video.
Hope you like these makes!
