TIP: reduce one step by SCORING first (if cutting first, it requires scoring two times). This will be a great intro series for new crafters!

Hi there. I just subscribed to your channel. I'm not a newbie card maker, but your explanation on how to cut card bases by dividing in half made so much sense. Duh, I don't know why I struggled with this before. And I made my own template for the layering so I can quickly see how to cut my layers, including using a 1/2 or more border if I want. Thanks for the tips. I'm sure I'll learn more as you work through this series.

@sandranorman4270 Жыл бұрын

Instead of scoring and ending up eith edges a tiny bit off.. With the arm closed and the cutterbar raised you can bump your card against the bottom and the arm then fold top down the press for the crease and the edges come out perfectly matched

Thank you so much for this video! I’m new to making cards and have gotten so frustrated with making the base. My other problem is the paper cutter and knowing how to use it. No one has a video on how to use it. When I look at it, it has two markings for one inch. One on either side of the blade. Why is that?

@nanetteatienza4297 Жыл бұрын

Glad i found you. Subscribing, too. Why do my cardstock when I cut them, they don’t come out smooth? It’s fuzzy. I am using Fiskar paper cutter. My white cardstock is 110 lb/300 gsm. Is it my paper cutter or my cardstock being thick? Your paper cutter has a feature to get a nice fold without creating a crease on the card? Pls advise. I am tuning in. Thanks

Hey, Brandy! Little late, but quite meant: Happy New Year! I'm jealous of you guys, A4 just doesn't make sense. It makes cutting layers so difficult, unless you start by cutting off a strip - what a waste! *I've used the strips for all kinds of things, but I make many cards, so usually have too many strips ...

I was checking out this video and noticed you don’t have any trouble easily lifting the blade section of your SU cutter. I bought one several month’s ago and found there is something that holds the blade down. I have to lift up close to the left side which is very annoying and takes more time.. so I don’t use it unless I need to score something
