DIECUTTING WITH A DIFFERENCE

It's Tracey here today bringing you this week's TUTORIAL.

DIECUTTING WITH A DIFFERENCE

I often use different materials other than paper or card stock with my dies, and I especially love using felt to make grass and rolled flowers.

I have chosen an assortment of materials to cut today, including canvas, glitter card stock, adhesive wood veneer, felt, vellum and aluminium can.

I have arranged them on the base plate of my cutting machine, ready for cutting. I always position them near the side edges, as I find that this is where there is the most pressure.

 Double sided tape helps keep the die aligned with the aluminium as it was a little slippery.

My lovely hand model is running the dies through the die cutting machine. Notice the extra layer of card stock shim on top of the cutting sandwich. This helps to ensure all materials are cut completely through. Some brands of felt cut better than others.

Here you have a variety of embellishments ready to create a card. They can be used with a coloured Marci or Luka image, or even alone on a card.

For the rolled felt roses, they are rolled just as you would with paper, but it is actually much easier as the felt grips onto itself and the rose doesn't tend to spring open.

Continue rolling until the whole rose has been formed.

Use a liquid adhesive on the base of the rose.

Make your roses into a quick and easy Christmas card, along with some other die cut felt, card stock, glittercardstock and a sentiment stamp.

I hope you have enjoyed my tutorial.

Happy crafting.

Hugs,

Tracey XO

Tutorial Thursday - Parcel Card

Hi Everyone its Jennifer here and I am going
 to show you how to do a
PARCEL CARD.

Cut your Base 28cm x 18.5cm
Score across at 9cm, 18cm, 22.5cm and 27cm
On the 9cm score line measure 12cm across cut 2.5cm either side
 of the score and the same at 16.2cm

This is my base I did in red. See the cuts I did. Score

from one cut to the next on each end of them. 

It then makes a valley to hold your present.

Ooops just realised this picture is upside down.

Now to make the layers, I make two - this is the first. I make one

for the front and back so you have to make one going each way.

Cut 8.5cm x 18cm 2 off.

Measure 1.9cm and cut down 2.5cm measure 6.5cm and cut down 2.5cm

Then cut that bit out as shown cut the second one the same but with 

the measurements on the other end.

My first layer is green.

This is the second layer.

Cut 8cm x 17.5cm 2 off.

Measure 1.5cm and cut down 2.5cm then measure 6.6cm and

measure down 2.5cm and cut the piece out as in the picture.

Do another one the same with the measurements on the opposite end.

I used a printed paper for my second layer.

I then layered the 2 fronts and 2 backs together.

I then Layered them on the base.

I then ran doublesided tape down the 1cm tab on the base and joined it.
See the Valley where the present is going! 

OK we are now making the parcel.

Cut 12cm x 17cm.

Then score down at 4cm and 8cm

Score across at 4cm, 8cm, 12cm and 16cm.

I then cut the parcel out around the solid lines see where I have left 1cm tabs. 

So it now looks like this

I have layered my Parcel with 2 layers. 

First layer I cut 3.5cm x3.5cm 6 off them (the red ones)

Second layer 3cm x 3cm 6 off them (patterend paper)

I then Layered them.

 Then layered them on the parcel.

I then used doublesided tape to stick it together.
You can leave the top of the box untaped and you
 can pop things in like Chocolates!
This is how it sits.

Now you can  go and decorate them.

Here's an Example.

and another.

They are so much Fun!
Can't wait to see what you all do!
