How to die cut an image larger than your Stampin' Up! Framelits -Tutorial

Hello!

As promised I am here today with a little tutorial to share how I managed to get my balloons over the top of the framelit edge! I hope it helps some-one out there :-)  

 To start, lay the framelit over your image, making sure it is correctly positioned all around

 mark with a pencil either side of the overhanging image, inside the framelit

 cut exactly along the pencil line and then around the image 

*Top Tip-I like to leave a small white border, as shown, I think it looks better and is definitely more forgiving if you wobble when cutting ;-)

 pull the image over hang over the top of the framelit, ensuring the bottom edges are correctly positioned and die cut as normal, 

 once it is cut out, rub firmly with a bone folder on the reverse to get rid of most of the crease from the die

adhere to your card after inking the edges if desired.

I hope this helps you to get the best from your framelits and if you would like to order any then please do get in touch sarah-janerae@sky.com  ;-)

Stampin' Up! Pedal Presents and Framelits

Hello there,

I have another card today using Pedal Presents, loving this cute little bike!

I used a base of Pear Pizazz with Nursery Nest DSP, 

{{which is in the 4 for 3 promotion this month too ;-)}}

 See here I used a framelit to die cut out the bike, but.... my balloons were too tall! Hmmm, come back tomorrow for a mini tutorial on how to get around this little problem ;-)

and an arty angle to finish today's post

Right, I have a night off work tonight and so I am making tea early(ish) and going to have a nice relaxing night tonight :-))))

Thanks for stopping by today

Stampin' Up! Pedal Presents and join my team!

Hello there,

I had a lovely day yesterday with some of my brilliant team, we chatted and made cards, ate and chatted some more! If you would like to find out more about being in my team then why not drop me a line? sarah-janerae@sky*dot*com I would love to talk through any questions or queries you have about being a SU! demo, the BEST job in the world! :-)

Anyway, Angela recently promoted and so I made her a little card just to say well done, I used the pretty Pedal presents and the embedded embossing technique 

A lush white satin bow, I made a little video tutorial HERE

 I used a blender pen with my ink pads to colour the bike, highlighting with my white craft ink at the end,

and finally an arty angle to finish

I hope you like today's post, I have class this morning so I'd better be off,

Twitterpated All Day Class Fun

Hello!

I have loads to share with you today, yesterday was my May All Day class and we had such a fab time, lots of projects including cards, bunting and of course not forgetting the cake!

So, I will share some today with you starting with place settings

 Handmade name tags for each person...

 a small gift from me with a couple of pillow boxes and tea cup stamping

 all the ladies had 1/2 a roll of blue and 1/2 a roll of red pleated ribbon so I made little boxes with the scallop envelope die, I love this size box ;-)

 and this is the table all laid up ready to go, 

and of course we had to have prize patrol... x3!!

We had a really lovely day and everyone managed to get all their projects finished more or less on time too. My next class is in 2 weeks, Father's Day/ Mens cards, message me to join us.

Well, that's all for today, I am off out with hubby to Lymington for a wander ;-)

Back tomorrow with some of the projects we made during the day,

Thanks for stopping by today,
