My first card uses Tami's new Grand Tags set. I have a quick tip showing how I used this stamp with the Labels Twenty Two die set from Spellbinders to get an evenly spaced image on my die cut.
I find that stamping the image onto your paper first, then placing the die on the paper will always produce a perfectly centered image. (Just make sure to flip back over when running through your Grand Calibur™) Using removable tape to hold the die in place while cutting. Here you can see the stamped image, and then a blue circle over the middle- I have my most commonly used dies pre cut so I can measure whether it will fit an image or sentiment on any item I am working on. Here I want to use a white circle in the middle for my sentiment, so I am measuring which one fits. This circle is too large, so I try the next one down in size.
Here you can see I Have the correct circle. The die number is written on my circle so I can quickly find it and rub both through at the same time.
For my next card, I am using Melanies fun new border set, Pretty Patterns. Patterns are my favorite type of stamp. They are so versatile and timeless. I lean towards circles, so I picked that to work with. The main border alone is great, but paired up with the circle fillers and outlines, the possibilities are endless. And in clear, a snap to line everything up!
