Merry Christmas Card/Square Cage Cutting Die
Cut a 6” square of Silver Holographic paper. Place the Crafty Cutts Square Cage centered on the holographic paper and lightly trace the frame. Glue the Die Cut snowflake centered. Foam tape the “Best Time of the Year” die-cut in the center.
Cut a 5 ½” square of Christmas Lace blue snowflake paper. Glue the Christmas Lace pink/blue lace snowflake to the center. (Make sure it has glued all over as it will be cut in several places.) Place the “Merry Christmas” Dazzles™ in the bottom right corner. Place a large snowflake Dazzles™ in the center of the die-cut. Place the border to the left of the “Merry Christmas”. Place the other small snowflakes around the card as shown.
Center the cutting die on the Christmas Lace blue snowflake paper with the die cut and Dazzles™ against the cutting surface. Place a shim under the cutting die, and run the die back and forth 2-3 times to make sure it cuts through all the layers. When you take it out, if there is a spot or two that is not cut through, use the X-acto® knife and the mat to cut that spot through. Insert a 5” piece of silver cording through the holes in the die cut. Tie a knot.
Glue the snowflake paper to the holographic paper centered, and keeping the die-cut part free.
