"Die" Tutorial ~ DT Scrapbook Blessings Club

Hello Friends !

Annette here for the Scrapbook Blessings Club to share with you Monday's Project "Dies".

Firstly: "Tip of the Day" use sticky tape to hold both nestling dies in position ~ I place sticky tape on all 4 corners of the dies to ensure no movement of the Die when cutting.

Now, on to today's Project:

I am using today one of my favourite Dies ~ Its my Sizzix Labels and Stitches Die. Whenever I want to have a contrasting edge around my labels I use these particular Dies as they have the one for cutting and one for stitching marks.

I use these stitching marks as a guide to colour with my Copics and also Glitter Glue.

Using the Cutting die and the Stitching Die I place the cutting Die on the outer on my Cardstock and the Stitching Die on the inner part and I then sticky tape down and hold in the position where I want my Label cut and where I want my stitching to sit.

I then Place the Die in my Sizzix Die Machine placing the Die face up between my cutting plates. I also place a Shim on top for a better cut. (My Shim is a piece of cardstock laminated in my hot laminating machine ~ I find by using a laminated sheet of paper or cardstock the Shim actually lasts a lot longer).

I run this Die through my Sizzix several times to make sure the stitching has indented properly and the Die is cut to precision.

Now I have my Label ready to work on.

Since I have a guide line with the Stitching I use this to now colour in with my Black Copic.

When I have coloured the edging area with my Black Copic, I then use my Silver Glitter Glue over the Copic coloured section.

Now my label in complete and ready to use for my Card Project.

My finished Card which is a Joy Card :-

Building Block Graduation Card

Hello, everyone! Melissa here on to share a "building block" style card with you. I made this one graduation themed, since there are a ton of graduations going on right now. Hope you enjoy this card, and are inspired to try it out yourself. Here is the tutorial I followed from Split Coast Stampers. To make it easier, I will give you all the measurements, here. It looks harder than it is, I promise. Start with a piece of cardstock in your desired color that is 5.5 x 10.5. Put the 10.5 inch side along the top of your score board or paper trimmer, and score at 3.5 inches and 7 inches. Fold the first score line in a mountain fold, and the second in a valley fold. You should end up with a "z" fold card. The next part can get a bit tricky, so make sure you watch the video to fully understand what I am about to explain. On the back side of the "valley" fold, take a ruler and pencil and mark these measurements: 3/8 1 3/8 1 5/8 2 5/8 2 7/8 3 7/8 ...
