DT Make It Monday - Alphabet and cubes

 

Welcome to a new issue of DT Make It Monday. Today it's my turn and I want to show you how to make a cute gift with C.C. Cutters dies.

 

I needed a gift for Mother's Day and bought a beautiful pot of flowers. Now I still needed a matching card. But why always giving away cards? Then I saw the C.C. Cutters Cube Box die and Christine's cute baby tower came into my mind. That's it!

 

I took the C.C. Cutters Bubble Alphabet die. You see that it is one big die but of course you can also cut single letters. It's so easy!

 

Just cut your cardstock into little pieces and only cover the letters you want to cut with it.

 

Run the die with the cardstock pieces trough your cutting machine.

 

And you will get single letters.

 

I needed 'MAMA' which is Mum in German.

 

Then I cut four C.C. Cutters Cube Boxes, adhered them together and decorated the cube bar with different die cuts.

 

And this is the whole gift set. My mother liked it a lot!

Hugs,
Jay Jay

Tough question! At the minute I'm loving the Stamping Bella Uptown Girls range, but nice paper packs 6x6 or sentiment sets are always very useful.

DT Make it Monday - fussy cutting hints & tips

Hello everyone!  It's Mary J here with a few hints and tips of how I do my fussy cutting - I've had a lot of questions about it so I hope this will go some way to help you!  First off, here is my card where I used this technique...

 

 

Isn't she beautiful?  This is Drozy's Darlings Letter For You and I also used a sentiment from the  .  AmyR Stamps Sunny Sentiments set. As you can see, I have cut around her and also in between the gap of her leg and wing.  Here are the tools I use...

 

In order from left to right:

1. Serrated scissors (Tim Holtz)
2. Craft knife (Xcut)
3. rounded sanding tool
4. flat sanding tool

I don't think I need to tell you how to actually these tools!  But here are a few things I do to get a good result:

• First of all, I always cut around the image, say 2cm all round so that I don't have large pieces of card getting in my way as I cut round.
• Don't try to get a perfect cut out using your scissors the first time you go round.  You can always go back to trim more off but you can't put it back!
• Make sure your craft knife is sharp - you should be able to cut with quite light pressure.  If you find you are having to press down hard to get a cut, they are not sharp enough.
• Don't worry if the edges aren't completely smooth and rounded (especially around those tight corners) - this is where the sanding tools come in.  For the outer side of the cut out image, I use the flat sanding tool to smooth it out.  I use the rounded sanding tool in the inside cuts.

That's it!  I hope that was useful.  If you have any questions, leave a comment to this post and I will get back to you.  I'm off now but I'll see you again for another Make It Monday in the future!
