In case you might need a word primer…Line up your 12x12” paper on the 5” mark..then cut down only 7”…turn paper clock wise 1quarter turn then line up with 5” mark and cut only 7” down your first 5x7 panel will pop out then..…turn paper clockwise 1quarter turn then line up with 5” mark and cut only 7” down your 2nd 5x7 panel will pop out then……turn paper clockwise 1quarter turn then line up with 5” mark and cut only 7” down your third 5x7 panel will pop out then you will also have your fourth 5x7” panel on your cutter deck as well as the centre 2x2 piece will pop out hope that helps💕💕💕

I've been card making for years, but always stayed away from 5x7 cards because they waste too much paper. This cutting hack is awesome! TFS ❤

I just spent over an hour going back through every single one of her videos and I must have missed it somewhere but here's how I do it... And I even use the xyron sticky paper that she mentioned. I take a roll of my double-sided xyron refill (but you can use any double-sided tape or sheet) and just cover the back of either a foil cardstock or whatever cardstock you want strips of. Don't take off the second half of the backing paper... Just the side that you'll be sticking to the back of your cardstock. Then just cut skinny little strips with whatever paper trimmer you use. I tend to use my guillotine trimmer because I find it cuts better through the adhesive but whatever works for you is fine. Then... When you're ready to use them, just take the backing paper off and you have an instant sticky strip that you didn't pay a ridiculous amount of money for, in any color you need.

Awesome tip re cutting the 5x7 from a 12x12 sheet. I love making 5x7 cards, and always seem to have some waste from my patterned paper! Everyone should have the Scrappy Tails Christmas Assorted leaves in their stash, as well as the Assorted Metal leaves die. They are so versatile, and best of all, made in America! I promised myself that I wouldn't buy any more stamps and dies in the new year, until I have used everything I have, but, I can't wait for Sabrina to bring out some new things in 2022!
