Get More Out of Your Electronic and Manual Die Cuts – Paperclipping 212

Thursday, February 28th, 2013

Want to get more out of your die cuts?

Whether you use a Cameo, a Cricut, a Sizzix, or any other die cutting tool, you might be able to get more uses from your cuts than you realize.

Every project pictured in this post used something that was leftover from the cuts I made for other projects.

You know that old Great Depression quote?

Use it up, wear it out, make it do or do without.

Well, I don’t know if we have to go quite that far, but there just might be a lot more you can do with the pieces you’ve cut than you realize.

The funny thing is, I usually like what I do with my leftovers even more than what I did with the original cuts!

So while you’re making your cuts, whether it be from an electronic cutter or a manual die cut machine, think about how you can use your negative “throw-aways,” as well as your positive pieces. Or vice-versa!

BTW, we just released a video tutorial where I share a number of different ways you can get more of your die cuts. You’ll see those favorite pieces of mine that came from my leftover cuts and a step-by-step demo of a super awesome (but easy) technique, pictured below.

CHA 2012 – Tim Holtz Stamps Plus the Sizzix eClips Electronic Die Cutter? Yes!

Saturday, February 4th, 2012

When Tim Holtz told me he has Sizzix making electronic die cuts for the eClips I almost died. Okay, that’s an exaggeration, but I find it crazy exciting! Not only can you cut around the intricate stamps, but you can cut away insides to either pop out holes or create dimensional layers! You can shadow the stamps, too. We got the folks at Sizzix to demo it for us!
