You all know I love my Stampin’ Cut Emboss Machine, especially when I can make a classy card with metal dies in just minutes! I’ll show you how in my short video.
And if you don’t tend to use your die cut machine all that much, get prepared to start!
Why?
Three words…
Fast…Easy…Classy!
What’s the first thing you notice about this card?
Maybe the overall bold black and white? Perhaps the pop of gold with the glitter dots?
Or maybe that awesome flower? Isn’t it pretty? It’s from the Dandy Wishes set of dies, new this spring.
And while you might think it’s just a white dandelion on a black background, it’s not at all! It’s what we call in die cutting a negative shape.
That means the flower die cut was cut and removed and the hole left behind is awesome as a design element too!
Let’s take a closer peek before we get to the video.
Can you see the edges of the cardstock? It really is a wonderful way to get two cards from one zip through your die cutting machine.
Let’s see how!
