Framelits Tips and Tricks

I just LOVE the new Framelits Dies that Stampin' UP! is coming out with and beginning August 1st you'll be able to purchase them too!  Here's a couple of great tips to make them even more fun to use.

When stamping mulitple design shapes, instead of cutting one at a time, stamp several together and then you can cut them all at once. 

When using this method, grab a small post it note and use the sticky part to hold down the Framelit so it won't move.  You'll have a perfect cut every time.  Be sure you press the post it down on both sides of the frame, inside and out where it cuts so it has a good hold.

See - perfect!

This is what happens when you don't hold them down.  The first one in line was fine (the large gumball green one), it was first through the press, the others moved as the cutting plates pull away just before the pressing starts.

Here is my creating using the soon to be released Ornament Keepsakes stamps and the Holiday Ornaments Framelits Dies.  They can be purchased separately or in a bundle which will save you about 15% - who can pass up that great deal?  Not me!

Inside Stamp:  Greetings of the Season - also from the upcoming Holiday Mini.

Hope you're having a great day!  I'm enjoying some stamping time and catching up on some posting.

Happy Wednesday!
