Connie-Wild Thing!

This has GOT to be one of my favorite images

by my favorite Sweet Pea artist
ching-chou kuik "Inner Tender" plate #42!!

Today I want to show you how to make a custom

die cut that allows you to have an image extend

beyond the edge without getting cut off when

it goes thru the die cutter.

First stamp image, then position paper with image on die

for perfect positioning and tape with low-tack tape so it doesn't move around.

Then make a light pencil mark where image goes past edges and cut that part

out, going 1/8" beyond for ease of positioning die later on.

Now put image back into die and tape down, bring cut-out parts up and lay them on back-side of die

before putting it thru machine.

For this card I used a die by Memory Box called

"elegant scrollwork"

SpellBinders die "Labels 9"

I glued a tiny jewel in the middle of her forehead.
