Hi! This is Stephanie and now I'm going to talk about adding die cuts to your scrapbook
pages. You can buy a lot of premade die cuts at the store. You can also get a machine.
There's several different types of machines that you can use. This one is the Sizzix machine.
You buy your dies separately. They come in little boxes like this. You can see from the
back the different slices that it'll make. I try to cut my paper to fit so I don't waste
a lot of paper. I'm just going to make one of these. They're very easy to use. Lay it
on the back and you stick it on. This is the cutting board and you have to change it after
it get so many cuts, but it lasts for a really long time. You put it upside down on the board
and it just slides very simply underneath this part. Pull this down, give it a couple
good pushes, you pull it out, and you'll have the die cut. Then you can embellish this however
you want. You can ink the sides or add whatever you want. Die cuts are handy to use because
you can use whatever color that you want to use to enhance your page. They come in all
different styles. This happens to be tags. You can buy hearts, stars, whatever kind of
thing that suits your fantasy.
