Savvy Saturday: Cut Loose
Behold! A gorgeous card! Must take hours! Looks complicated!
Actually…It’s not difficult at all. Gather your supplies and let’s do it!
Set up your cutting sandwich like usual:
- White Master Mat
- Spacer Plate (white for the Purple Wizardâ„¢ and magnetic for the Raspberry Wizardâ„¢)
- S4-191 Dahlia die template with cut edges facing up. Place all the dies inside one another. (If using the Purple Wizardâ„¢, tape the die templates down with removable tape as I did below. The magnetic spacer plate will hold the dies securely.)
- Paper
- White Master Mat
Run the sandwich through to cut.
Emboss the image by removing the spacer plate and adding the tan embossing mat on top of the paper.
Now the fun begins: By adhering the flower frames, alternating the points, you’ll achieve the amazing, intricate, flower medallion.
For extra pizazz use dimensional adhesive. Finish up the project however you wish. Show it off and your friends will wonder, “How long did that take?” You’ll grin as you think, “Oh, about 5 minutes”
Give it a try with other die template such as Stars 5, Blossom or even Nested Flowers.
Cheers for another great week, Eli
