I recently ordered these pencils through Amazon.ca because I love both products and I can't live without them!<br />
<br />
I've used the Staedtler HB pencils for eons for everyday stuff and idea sketching. My nice stash of them was scattered (hiding) throughout the house. So before panic set in, I ordered more. But. They don't have an eraser. I know you'll be surprised, but I need erasers. Yes. Sad, but it's true.<br />
<br />
The pencil cap erasers are another ancient art supply that I love.... It's these little things that, when you live without them for a while, you appreciate even more when you get them back.<br />
<br />
Just in case you happen to love the same things, they're easy to find, even when you live in the boonies!<br />
<br />
Happy Creating! <br />

Instructions:<br />
<ol>
<li>Form a 6 x 5" tent-fold card base from light green cardstock.</li>
<li>Stamp sentiment on watercolour paper and immediately sprinkle with embossing powder. Heat emboss.</li>
<li>Use markers to add colour to petals and leaves. Blend with water to get a watercolour wash effect. Allow to dry. Not all markers blend well with water. Test yours out on a scrap piece of watercolour paper!</li>
<li>Die cut sentiment with stitched oval and mat with a slightly larger fitted oval die cut from dark green cardstock.</li>
<li>Adhere watercolour oval to green oval with Mono Adhesive. Attach to card front with foam tabs.</li>
</ol>
Sweet! I know yours will turn out even better!<br />

This yummy paper from Bo Bunny with its strong winter theme came in yesterday and I have this little box die from Elizabeth Craft Designs - and they needed to go together with an A Way With Words die. Oh, and it SNOWED again today. This is not typical westcoast weather. It's still winter....<br />
<br />
Here is a project that is so simple it will make you weep. What a great way to give a little gift! <br />
Just because.<br />

Hi there! I'm back again today with an idea for a project which I've borrowed from Judi Kauffman and changed to utilize the A Way With Words dies. You may see her gorgeous projects and ideas <strong><a href="http://queensink.blogspot.ca/2016/11/ten-minute-holiday-ornaments-by-judi.html" target="_blank">HERE</a></strong>. <br />

<br />
I simply filled the balls with snowflakes snipped from an inexpensive coiled decoration and a bit of kraft packing. The top of the ornaments were decorated with bits of string and ribbon and diecut foliage (all diecuts from Elizabeth Craft Designs). Season's Greetings was cut from <a href="https://www.elizabethcraftdesigns.com/collections/shimmer-sheetz" target="_blank">Shimmer Sheetz</a> and in real life is a better match to the snowflakes inside than I could catch in the photograph!<br />

I hope this gives you some ideas for using up those empty Christmas balls and creating a little cheer with bits and pieces!<br />

Hi there! It's Suzanne today sneaking in a giftwrapping project to share with you. It was supposed to be posted on the weekend, but some other things got in the way.....<br />
<br />
I've been wanting to try die cutting fabric with the <strong><a href="http://www.quietfiredesign.ca/Quietfire-Dies-from-Elizabeth-Craft/" target="_blank">A Way With Words</a></strong> dies. Robyn has done some experimenting with fusible interfacing and while I'm thinking of it, we must discuss it further! I was talking to my friend Jacoline about it and she said why not just use double-sided tape? Well. Duh, yeah. Brilliant thinking! <br />
<br />
This project was quick and easy, so I won't write step by step instructions. I simply cut a piece of Clear Double Sided Adhesive (Elizabeth Craft Designs) large enough for the die. I peeled the release paper off one side and smoothed on some burgundy silk that I'd had for years. It has a natural crinkle in it. Don't choose a fabric like that - but it did work out okay. <br />
<br />
Diecut the fabric. Now the tricky part. Peel the release paper off the back of the fabric Merry Christmas. It comes off fine, but there is not a lot of stiffness there, so peel from one side and adhere it to the gift bag as you roll off the release paper. <strong>And Wow</strong>! It worked! <br />
<br />
Keep in mind it won't hold up to washing, as it would if you used fusible web. But this technique took no time at all. I didn't have to get out an iron and fuss with that - AND the final product looks sweet!<br />
<br />
The little canvas bag comes from Canvas Corp, the tiny bells and pine cones are Stampin' Up (from my friend Jacoline), the ribbon is hand dyed with Aged Mahogany Distress Ink and well, the cinnamon stick comes from the grocery store!<br />
Go ahead - wrap it up! Merry Christmas!<br />
<br />

Obviously I needed a "guy" card. For this child I should have gone with duct tape, but opted for his kitties and Tim Holtz bugs. The kitties are a cutting file I created from a photograph I took of our furkids a few years ago. (One kitty has since gone to his great kibblebowl in the sky.) </div>

I think this card will hit the spot!</div>

I think the final size was about 6 x 6"!<br />
<br />
Since Core'dinations has a different coloured core, you will see the core colour along the edge of the cuts. If you don't like that, use a different type of cardstock!<br />
<br />
I think you can probably wing this design without me giving you the step by step instructions, right? <br />

Enjoy your creativity time. Thanks for dropping in!<br />

This card uses the inlay technique. You can read more about it in <strong><a href="http://quietfirestyle.blogspot.ca/2015/03/hello-springy-die-cut-inlay.html#.VnmhB8tgm70" target="_blank">this blog post</a>.</strong><br />
<strong>Instructions:</strong><br />
<ol><ol><ol>
<li><span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">Form a tent-fold card base from burgundy cardstock measuring 7.5" x 5.75". Cut gold panel measuring 6.75" x 5.25". Cut strip 12" wide x 5"high. If you cut this strip with grain short it will make your life easier later!! (That is so the grain is parallel to the short side of the strip.)</span></li>
<li><span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">Die cut <strong><em>Believe</em></strong> from the center of the 12" wide strip. Die cut <strong><em>Believe</em></strong> from 4 different coloured coordinating cardstocks and from gold. <!--[endif]--></span><span style="font-size: 10pt; line-height: 150%;"><span style="font-family: Times;"><span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif; font-size: small;">Lay out each set of your die cut pieces on their own sheet of white paper to help keep them separated.</span></span></span></li>
<li><span style="font-size: 10pt; line-height: 150%;"><span style="font-family: Times;"><span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif; font-size: small;">Cut a piece of lightweight cardstock (any colour, as it will be hidden) to approximately 6" x 4" and apply adhesive across the middle portion where you will piece the word and counterspaces.</span></span></span></li>
<li><span style="font-size: 10pt; line-height: 150%;"><span style="font-family: Times;"><span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif; font-size: small;"><span style="font-family: Arial; font-size: small;">Lay down the gold Believe die cut in the middle of the adhesive and fit in the counterspaces from the other colours like a puzzle. (A pair of tweezers might help.) Apply adhesive around the edges of the inlaid cardstock and adhere it in position behind the 12" strip so it fills the hole.</span></span></span></span></li>
<li><span style="font-size: 10pt; line-height: 150%;"><span style="font-family: Times;"><span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif; font-size: small;"><span style="font-family: Arial; font-size: small;">
</span><span style="mso-list: Ignore;">Lightly spritz the edges of the 12" strip with water and gently roll the edges towards the middle. (If you've cut the strip so the grain is parallel to the short side of the panel, the edges will start to curl on their own with light spritzing!) Use a Glue Dot to hold the curl in position while you repeat with the other side.</span></span></span></span></li>
<li><span style="font-size: 10pt; line-height: 150%;"><span style="font-family: Times;"><span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif; font-size: small;"><span style="mso-list: Ignore;">Adhere the rolled panel to the gold panel. Pierce holes as shown in the photo and wrap gold cord around the "scroll" to the back and secure with tape. Adhere gold panel to card base with foam adhesive.</span></span></span></span></li>
</ol>
</ol>
</ol>
It's easy to make more cards with the leftover pieces! You can add an embellishment to suit the occasion! <br />

You know how when you start playing with things and you get on a roll? Well that's what happened with this card! It's so easy for me to get distracted by the next challenge on my plate that I often make one thing and that's it.<br />

This is a bit of a continuation of my blog hop card. I've been wanting to use this gorgeous poinsettia die for ages. And I found another die that was very calligraphic and would compliment the lettering.<br />
<br />
A fun thing about this card is that although it is a Christmas card, it does not say it directly. (But it could be stamped or diecut on the inside) <br />

When I started this card, I had no firm plan and it became a what-do-I-feel-like-playing-with time! Now the great thing about poinsettias is that their coloured petals and leaves are the same, so wherever you put the red and green will never be a mistake! This is how today's poinsettia turned out. Tomorrow's will be different!</div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
I love tone on tone, but in this case the Season's Greetings diecut would have been swallowed up by the background! A tiny little dropshadow fixed that. I hope you find some ideas for your own creations here! </div>

<b><span style="font-size: small;"><span style="mso-no-proof: yes;">Instructions:</span></span></b></div>
<ol style="text-align: left;">
<li><span style="font-size: small;"><span style="mso-no-proof: yes;">Form a 5.5 x 7.75" card base from Spring Larch cardstock. Cut a red panel measuring 4.5 x 6.75". Mat with a black panel. </span></span></li>
<li><span style="font-size: small;"><span style="mso-no-proof: yes;">Die cut Season's Greetings once from red cardstock and twice from Spring Larch cardstock.</span></span></li>
<li><span style="font-size: small;"><span style="mso-no-proof: yes;">Stamp the poinsettia on watercolour paper and heat emboss with black embossing powder. Apply marker colour and quickly blend with water from water brush. Use an HB pencil to shade around the leaves and flourishes and form a dropshadow. Trim close to the edges of the flourishes and round the corners of the rectangle.</span></span></li>
<li><span style="font-size: small;"><span style="mso-no-proof: yes;"> Mount the red Season's Greetings on one of the green diecuts offsetting them slightly to give a dropshadow effect. Mount the poinsettia panel on the other green Season's Greetings so the words don't show, but the flourishes look like an extension of the poinsettia's flourishes.</span></span></li>
<li><span style="font-size: small;"><span style="mso-no-proof: yes;">Use foam tape to attach the red/black panel to the card base and the poinsettia to the red/black panel as shown. Use clear foam tape to attach the diecut below the poinsettia.</span></span></li>

Quietfire Design invaded Edmonton a few weekends ago! I had a booth at the <a href="http://www.canadianscrapbooker.ca/great-canadian-scrapbook-carnival-2015/" target="_blank"><b>Great Canadian Scrapbook Carnival</b></a> hosted by Canadian Scrapbooker Magazine. Here are a few more photos from that event.<br />
<br />
Before I left, kitty gave his stamp of approval to the brand new banner. He would have liked to be rolled in the banner and come with me to visit his daddies, but....<br />
<br />
Susan and I had a hard time deciding where to put the banner in the booth, but I think we did the right thing!<br />
<br />
I queried the Quietfire Design Team about things that drew them into a booth at an event like this and Sherry said "Great samples!" She was absolutely right!<br />

Yvonne's gorgeous card drew an amazing amount of attention. The glitter on the snowflakes was like a beacon to crafters as they walked around the booths! Needless to say, we sold out of the stamp the first day. If you want to read more about Yvonne's card, <a href="http://quietfirecreations.blogspot.nl/2014/08/snowflakes-are-fairy-dust-of-witer.html" target="_blank"><b>you can see it on this post on Quietfire Creations.</b></a><br />

There are prizes - including the all important maple syrup!!

I was really curious what papers would cut on the Silhouette Cameo, so I used her papers for this week's submissions to the <a href="http://www.silhouettedesignstore.com/?artist_id=230503&query_type=view-portfolio&page=products" target="_blank"><b>Silhouette Design Store</b></a>. I'm delighted to say that all the papers cut very well, even the very heavy <a href="http://www.paper-garden.ca/products/curious-metallics-red-lacquer-8-1-2-x-11-cover-weight-metallic-cardstock.html" target="_blank">Curious Metallic Red Lacquer</a>.<br />
<br />
So here are this week's red and white Canada Day projects!<br />
<br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">

The Canada Day Accordion card or Decoration Silhouette cutting file can be found <a href="http://www.silhouettedesignstore.com/?page=view-shape&id=83847" target="_blank"><b>here</b></a> on the Silhouette Design store.<br />
<br />
I used the Paper Garden's<br />
<a href="http://www.paper-garden.ca/products/aura-scarlet-linen-8-1-2-x-11-cover-weight-cardstock.html" target="_blank">Aura Scarlett Linen Cover Weight Cardstock</a> (which has a wonderful linen texture)<br />
<a href="http://www.paper-garden.ca/products/aura-solar-white-8-1-2-x-11-cover-weight-cardstock.html" target="_blank">Aura Solar White Cover Weight Cardstock</a><br />
<br />
<br />
<br />
<br />
<br />
The <a href="http://www.silhouettedesignstore.com/?page=view-shape&id=83481" target="_blank"><b>Maple Leaf / Canada Day</b></a> card appears like the one on the left on the Silhouette site, but the file includes a white panel should you wish to use it. Silhouette wants pure white backgrounds to their photos, so the card with the white panel would have disappeared! I used the gorgeous <a href="http://www.paper-garden.ca/products/curious-metallics-red-lacquer-8-1-2-x-11-cover-weight-metallic-cardstock.html" target="_blank">Curious Metallic Red Lacquer</a> for this card and used blade depth 7 and a double cut. It cut beautifully. If you click on the image for a closer look, you might see the metallic shine.<br />

The last Canada Day project this week is the <a href="http://www.silhouettedesignstore.com/?page=view-shape&id=83487" target="_blank"><b>Canada Day BBQ Decorations</b></a>. It includes a bottle tag (yes! go ahead, use it on a wine bottle - a wine bottle was too tall for my photo!), a flameless votive wrap and a wrapper for your utensils and napkins. If you make the votive wrapper bigger it could be a crown(!) or table or cake decoration. For these I used <a href="http://www.paper-garden.ca/products/basis-red-8-1-2-x-11-text-weight-matte-paper.html" target="_blank">Basis Red</a> and <a href="http://www.paper-garden.ca/products/aura-solar-white-8-1-2-x-11-cover-weight-cardstock.html" target="_blank">Aura Solar White</a>.<br />

Thanks for having a look today! Don't forget to enter the <a href="http://www.paper-garden.ca/" target="_blank">Paper Garden</a>'s Canada Day Card Challenge. As well as cardstock (LOVE those metallics!) they carry envelopes, favour boxes, ribbon and more!<br />
<br />
Happy Canada Day! I guess I should send these to my sweet younger son. He arrived 22 years ago inside Burnaby Hospital with fireworks at the same time as the fireworks outside on Canada Day!<br />

Even without the extra butterflies, it's a really nice frame and can be made in all sorts of colour combinations! The card, frame and butterflies are all part of the cutting design and was cut with the <a href="http://www.silhouetteamerica.com/shop/machines/cameo" target="_blank">Silhouette Cameo</a>.<br />
<br />
I combined Michaels Recollections cardstock and Graphic 45 patterned paper for this card.<br />
<br />
I used <a href="http://www.quietfiredesign.ca/Pop-Dots-1-2-diameter.html" target="_blank"><b>Pop Dots</b></a> under the frame mat and <a href="http://www.quietfiredesign.ca/Glue-Dots-Mini.html" target="_blank"><b>Mini Glue Dots</b></a> to hold on the butterflies. <br />

If you can't get the paper, you can achieve a similar effect with sprays, but I knew I had a good thing going here with a very simple colour scheme!</div>

<b>Instructions:</b></div>
<ol>
<li> Create 5.5 x7.25" side-folded card base.</li>
<li>Cut a piece of Ombre cardstock to 5x7" as shown, with enough of the lighter shade at the top to contrast well with the flower.</li>
<li>Die cut Thanks from a portion of the Ombre cardstock that is lighter in colour.</li>
<li>Cut about 1 yard of pull flower, fold in half and pull evenly on the threads until your flower is formed. Tie the threads and cut the loose ends. It's that simple.</li>
<li>Attach the die cut with clear Kool Tak foam and the flower with Be Creative tape to the Ombre panel. Attach the Ombre panel to the card base with Pop Dots.</li>

This card might be a little bulky for the mail - unless it was for someone really special who deserved receiving a boxed card! I'm sure hand delivery of this sweet bit of brightness would be met with a wide open door!<br />
<br />
Thanks for dropping by to have a look! I can't believe it's been so long since I posted on my blog.... I'll do better. Wait till you see what I've been up to behind the scenes!<br />
<br />

I thought it would be useful for all sorts of "stamping occasions"!<br />
<br />
The blank space inside the card was calling to me and I couldn't ignore it. I picked up these sweet roses the last time I was at Michaels and they were calling to me as well.<br />

This is so simple! Cut the elements and assemble the card as shown (stamp on the smallest circle before mounting it on the card). Use Glue Dots to attach the roses and that's it!<br />

When they're in Comox for spring training every year, I head to the beach with my camera and try to get that elusive photo of the Snowbirds with a resident eagle or with the moon in the background or with the BC Ferry to Powell River. The last one is the easiest by far!<br />
<br />
The Snowbirds left the sky very boring as they stayed in the coop today, but they posted this amazing video of the installation of their their tank cam and footage taken from it. And they used a perfect song. It's super fun to recognize the maneuvers in the air that I watch from the ground. I'm sure you can see me down on the beach.....<br />
<br />
Enjoy what I get to enjoy from the ground everyday. (If you're receiving this by email, <a href="https://youtu.be/tTnTEvKC-sE" target="_blank"><b>click here</b></a> to go to YouTube to watch and give them the thumbs up for me!)<br />

Here is a screen cap from the video. All those cars in the parking lot.... One of them is bound to be me. How lucky can you get? A front row seat without the crowds!<br />

You can find them all over at the <a href="http://www.silhouettedesignstore.com/?artist_id=230503&query_type=view-portfolio&page=products" target="_blank"><b>Silhouette Design Store</b></a>. The two floral cards hold fond memories of things we had in our garden before we moved and I miss dearly!<br />
<br />
The first one is a <a href="http://www.silhouettedesignstore.com/?page=view-shape&id=78053" target="_blank"><b>Calla Lily Card</b></a>. Calla Lilies are so beautiful. This card is perfect for anyone who loves flowers! When assembling the flower, mist the cardstock very lightly with water after it has been cut and it will begin curling all on its own. To give your leaves texture, use a ball stylus to add veins to the surface of the leaf. You can just do a single lily as I have done here, or make a whole bouquet. Along with the flower, you get a garden lattice frame! Assemble with foam adhesive for dimension.<br />
<br />
<br />
<br />
We’ve given you a sweet butterfly to add to these unique <b><a href="http://www.silhouettedesignstore.com/?page=view-shape&id=78052" target="_blank">Ginkgo leaves</a></b>. To give your leaves texture, use a ball stylus to create veins on the surface of the leaf – there are lots on a Gingko, almost like stripes! In the spring the leaves are pale green, in the fall a golden yellow. I miss my Gingko! I bought it at Mandeville Gardens in Burnaby before we moved to the Island. It stayed in a pot for 6 years before we planted it in the ground. And then we moved.<br />
Along with the Ginkgo leaves and lettering, you get an interesting frame which can be used in lots of other projects. This card measures 5x7 inches.<br />

This is the <b><a href="http://www.silhouettedesignstore.com/?page=view-shape&id=78054" target="_blank">cutting version</a></b> of the <a href="http://www.quietfiredesign.ca/product.php?productid=3491&cat=&page=1" target="_blank"><b>calligraphic rubber stamp</b></a>! (You won't be able to cut this design as small as the rubber stamp, though!)<br />
The original Foundational lettering was done with a <a href="http://www.quietfiredesign.ca/home.php?cat=557" target="_blank">Mitchell Roundhand nib</a> and <a href="http://www.quietfiredesign.ca/product.php?productid=31&cat=290&page=1" target="_blank">Higgins Eternal Ink</a>. Each of these words and the crown are separate so you may re-arrange them any way you wish. This will fit on a 5x7" card front.<br />

<br />
I've started to look at motifs and designs in a whole new way. This motif is now the <a href="http://www.silhouettedesignstore.com/?page=view-shape&id=78051" target="_blank"><b><span class="regular-txt design-name" itemprop="name">art nouveau flower card and envelope </span> card and matching envelope</b></a> with the same motif on the flap.

What that means is that when I die cut the Hello, I didn't cover the entire die with the top plate, so some of it remained uncut. <a href="http://quietfirestyle.blogspot.ca/2015/04/partial-die-cutting-tutorial-hello.html#.VRzj5-HzNoE" target="_blank"><b>Click here to go to the tutorial for this!</b></a><br />

<b>Instructions:</b><br />
<ol>
<li>Form a tentfold card base measuring 7-1/2" x 6" from blue. </li>
<li>Cut panels 7 x 5" and 6 x 4-1/2" from ivory. Cut a blue panel about 1/16" smaller than the smaller ivory panel. Cut a panel of the toile wallpaper patterned paper about 1/16" smaller than the blue panel and layer them as shown in the sample photo. </li>
<li>Cut the strip of Hello Friend from the 12x12 patterned paper and mount it on a strip of ivory cardstock measuring 6-1/4 x 5/8". </li>
<li>Cut the striped cardstock to 6-3/4 x 4-3/4" and mount it on the larger ivory panel.</li>
<li>Make a partial die cut of Hello (<a href="http://quietfirestyle.blogspot.ca/2015/04/partial-die-cutting-tutorial-hello.html" target="_blank">see tutorial on partial die cutting</a>) using blue cardstock. <span style="color: red;"> </span>Trim the diecut panel to approximately 5-1/4 2-3/4" with the word in the middle.</li>
<li>Use 3D Foam Tabs to layer the card as shown to the right. All other layers are attached using the Stamp Runner and are non-dimensional. You may have to trim one of the small foam tabs to very small to attach (optional) the little piece of flourish that may have been cut off. I used tweezers!</li>

You can see here how the bottom of the word is still attached to the cardstock it was cut from.<br />
<br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEiAeCt6bbhAwxvuTM3rnM8s6PwZVWhj5Uybw0LiEo0mI48n5WYXJCpe2e1W6nCnlelCA4QsqF0PDnX4xRWrgk3koMRs438-Fh64k-yFXu2k6XnRUAOX1dFXmx6ntKBtMc6LQACVXr5wNIk/s1600/Hello_QFdies__detail_G45_Suzanne-04-15.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEiAeCt6bbhAwxvuTM3rnM8s6PwZVWhj5Uybw0LiEo0mI48n5WYXJCpe2e1W6nCnlelCA4QsqF0PDnX4xRWrgk3koMRs438-Fh64k-yFXu2k6XnRUAOX1dFXmx6ntKBtMc6LQACVXr5wNIk/s1600/Hello_QFdies__detail_G45_Suzanne-04-15.jpg" /></a></div>
<br />
<br />
1. Use removable tape to hold the <a href="http://www.quietfiredesign.ca/product.php?productid=3593&cat=736&page=1" target="_blank"><b>Hello die</b></a> cutting edge down onto the cardstock. (I used Core-dinations for this example.)<br />
<br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhMk9sb3x3aYjlFqhUOCxMk5pgZP-mcszPm1X_S_3zACpjOwgBWv1rT7e0sj7PnQC8Gddc7cl_O-qCU_nH_Qg4P24s9a6lR_5yWr4pVfPoGGfzWo_UUFIYMsNytCG8ZMfo2yrMGuowtpE8/s1600/Tutorial_Partial_Cut.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhMk9sb3x3aYjlFqhUOCxMk5pgZP-mcszPm1X_S_3zACpjOwgBWv1rT7e0sj7PnQC8Gddc7cl_O-qCU_nH_Qg4P24s9a6lR_5yWr4pVfPoGGfzWo_UUFIYMsNytCG8ZMfo2yrMGuowtpE8/s1600/Tutorial_Partial_Cut.jpg" height="281" width="400" /></a></div>
<br />
<br />
2. Position the cardstock where you can easily see the die. I used the Spellbinders Grand Calibur with the Junior Plates for this demonstration. (And yes, technically this should be on the Spellbinders Cutting plate, not the Base Plate! I was more worried about the photos turning out than which plate was where! No matter, the sandwich is the same!)<br />
<br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEj9q4UGM4-0QtFE_CakWG6uiT7p86TqfmSV_vqCMuz3H83rLTy6rLqq_Nf0QDABb2MDOIajQwEOXF2rmZcuUWN4snXktEF1QGae8vGHCMhx_Au1bhgAYdqJuDNxX42k1Fu4Lf_sqX2g86E/s1600/Tutorial_Partial_Cut2.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEj9q4UGM4-0QtFE_CakWG6uiT7p86TqfmSV_vqCMuz3H83rLTy6rLqq_Nf0QDABb2MDOIajQwEOXF2rmZcuUWN4snXktEF1QGae8vGHCMhx_Au1bhgAYdqJuDNxX42k1Fu4Lf_sqX2g86E/s1600/Tutorial_Partial_Cut2.jpg" height="292" width="400" /></a></div>
<br />
<br />
3. Cover the die with the other plate, leaving the bottom edge of the die uncovered, and holding the sandwich tightly, feed it into the machine. (For those of you who can tell which die outlines are on the top of my cutting plate, there is a special place in Spellbinders heaven for you! The bottom side of this plate is positively embarrassing and not for public consumption!)<br />
<br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEiz4rFF4ygkcMKVMV4l47La7TRHPu3FPoW9VhwZu_dXfjRwdE-2MLRFhiyLv1hIzJeiDWaj8CoIhJU_8RbRtqiw8yYN9lsrFVbehb3NAYEFbsF-LEcicpIulajwBF9UBFSfP7BsTFDolA0/s1600/Tutorial_Partial_Cut3.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEiz4rFF4ygkcMKVMV4l47La7TRHPu3FPoW9VhwZu_dXfjRwdE-2MLRFhiyLv1hIzJeiDWaj8CoIhJU_8RbRtqiw8yYN9lsrFVbehb3NAYEFbsF-LEcicpIulajwBF9UBFSfP7BsTFDolA0/s1600/Tutorial_Partial_Cut3.jpg" /></a></div>
<br />
<br />
4. Run this sandwich through the machine. You can see how the plates are offset. One pass and it's done!<br />
<br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgcJpv3Z5D2ozmHoWUq69W7VeDpGlQDdVXDdFzlRE9KrkXMvTvo38zyY2Mox-BCdX-JXeuB04dD7CUsmUDDyINOYT5CJ1A6Eujj5wf92rQUbjLnHm9_p-egUL4tA1Z4l7jS5ACALKu9sVw/s1600/Tutorial_Partial_Cut4.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgcJpv3Z5D2ozmHoWUq69W7VeDpGlQDdVXDdFzlRE9KrkXMvTvo38zyY2Mox-BCdX-JXeuB04dD7CUsmUDDyINOYT5CJ1A6Eujj5wf92rQUbjLnHm9_p-egUL4tA1Z4l7jS5ACALKu9sVw/s1600/Tutorial_Partial_Cut4.jpg" /></a></div>
<br />
<br />
5. Sometimes the cut is not always perfect. You can see here the right side of the H and the bottom of the e have been cut right through. But the other parts aren't, so it will be fine. Weed out the counterspaces. (They'll pretty much fall out.)<br />
<br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEihoRKSsEjDe5I8gligFiiB1O8_abExzF7q1j36FCAjerix8pRx9m1qHy6AJC8XNiUScyUuvQ421tbTOe7EO5MeE_kRlg9xcAViwWF1AyTseH_WOG_kPR0J5PA6mXo2uonlTsI8qLgHOaI/s1600/Tutorial_Partial_Cut5.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEihoRKSsEjDe5I8gligFiiB1O8_abExzF7q1j36FCAjerix8pRx9m1qHy6AJC8XNiUScyUuvQ421tbTOe7EO5MeE_kRlg9xcAViwWF1AyTseH_WOG_kPR0J5PA6mXo2uonlTsI8qLgHOaI/s1600/Tutorial_Partial_Cut5.jpg" /> </a></div>

<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
6. Use a soapstone pencil to draw a line across the baseline of the word at either end and inside the H and the little flourish. I've marked it in red here. Use an xacto blade to cut along that line and gently remove the cardstock from around the top of the word. Brush off the soapstone pencil line (although if you're clever and avoid extra work, you'll have cut the pencil mark off with the cardstock you're discarding!).</div>
