Hi there,
It's
Marion here for this
week's Topical Tuesday. Due to my family's recent move, I haven't had time to put together a video, but I have created a photo tutorial instead of an inlaid die cutting technique.
Below is the tag I made using this technique.
Follow as I step you through my process.
Step 1:
Begin by die cutting two tags from white cardstock and three baubles from different coloured cardstock. I have used the
AnnaBelle Stamps Decorated Christmas bauble dies.
Step 2:
Position the bauble dies onto the tag. Use tape to hold them into place so they don't shift when running through your die cutting machine.
Step 3:
Once you have die cut the first two baubles, die cut the third one, once again holding the die in place with some tape.
Step 4:
You will end up with the following.
Step 5:
Place the small bauble back into the die cut tag. It will fit in like a jigsaw puzzle. As this bauble overlaps with the larger bauble, place the larger bauble die back in place and run it through your die cutting machine. I held the pieces into place with some masking tape.
Step 6:
The result will be this.
Step 7:
Take the second die cut tag and be generous with your glue application. I used Tombow Mono Multi glue.
Step 8:
Glue the original die cut tag onto the second tag and then place the baubles into their positions. It will all fit in like a jigsaw puzzle. Trim the two baubles that hang over the outside edge of the tag with scissors.
Step 9:
I added a sentiment from the newly released
Merry Messages stamp set with a stamp positioner and some VersaFine Onyx Black ink. I also drew in the bauble strings with a ruler and a marker and added some
AnnaBelle Stamps black Licorice gingham ribbon.
Step 10:
The result is die cutting that is completely flush with the surface of the tag.
For a full list of the supplies I have used today, please head over to my
blog.
Thanks for stopping by. I hope you will give this technique a try.
Until next time,
Marion
