Instructions:

Here is how to cut a 12” border…

Cut 1 border as normal, once cut move the die down and adhere with removable tape so the die doesn’t slip. Then put the die back through the grand calibur as normal. 

 You can also use the edgeabilities to make fun funky patterns on your cardstock or patterned paper. 

Here I have cut out a large label 1 grand die. Using one of the edgeabilities I have cut out a pattern. To do this lay the die down where you want the pattern to be and cut. Move the die over and again using some repositionable tape to hold the die in place…cut your paper again…keep on doing this until you get your desired effect. This works great if you mix and match all your edgeabilities together…

Today we have a lovely butterfly mobile created by Teresa.

"This was a fantastic project to keep my girls busy on the school holidays. It’s a simple matter of die cutting the butterfly shapes, and threading them onto some cord. I added a bead under each butterfly to weigh it down a little. I can imagine a few more of these hanging from the curtain rods in their bedroom windows, fluttering in the summer breeze."

Today's layout is from Teresa.

"The kite Isabel was flying this day didn't appear in any of the photos, so I made one using some of the dies in the Nested Pennants set. She is wearing a denim skirt in the photos, so I machine stitched the photos to some denim fabric and frayed the edges for some extra interest. The loose threads add movement and even look a little wind-swept."

Welcome to our first tutorial for 2012. This week we have a lovely idea to give the leaves on your page or card an extra little sparkle.

Step Two:

 Spritz the leaves with a green Glimmer mist, any brand will do.

 Step Three:

Score lines with a paper piercer, on each leaf make them look like the veins you would normally see on a leaf. This is better if it is done on a mouse pad. I take a cheap mouse pad and cut it into 4 pieces so they are easier to transport and use.

  Step Four:

Use a dark green water soluble pen to mark in the scored lines. A Tombow pen or equivalent is good to use, but it must we water soluble. 

Step Five:

 Take an Aqua Brush and wash over the pen lines, you notice that the glimmer mist and pen blends together, but that a darker line remains in the score line, resembling the veins of a leaf. Repeat these steps for all leaves and use them as you would normally.

 Tip:

You can use this process on any leaf, be they die cut or punched. You can ignore the already embossed lines if you wish Experiment with different glimmer mists. You can use a Metallic rub on over the top of the leaf too If you don’t have an Aqua wash pen a small paint brush will do

Welcome back. I hope that everyone had a lovely Christmas New Year break.

The design team are now back and ready to inspire with lots of wonderful projects.

This month we have a mixture of projects including some with a Valentine's love theme. 

To kick off the new year of projects we have a lovely page from Sue:

"With the clever use of a Mini Mister you can dampen Bazzill card stock so that it will go around corners and circles. Just carefully use your fingers to shape the card and then heat set, then a rapid setting glue to adhere down."
