Thin Frame dies technique

***used two different set of thin frames dies for samples in photo***

Instructions:

Thin Frame die technique-

1. Run the thine frame dies together with color cardstock.  I taped them together with blue painter's tape so they stay together.

2. After die cutting carefully pull the colored cardstock away from the dies but keeping them taped together with the blue painter's tape.  repeat with all the different colors of cardstock.

3.  Number the colored cardstock dies.  example if the thin frame dies have 8 dies then cut out 8 colors and number 1 - 8.

4.  Cut the same amount of think typewriter paper and number the same as the color cardstocks.  the finished design will be assembled on the typewriter paper.

5.  First piece of paper (#1) ... remove the smallest colored cardstock from #1 and glue to #1 typewriter paper.  

6.  Move onto #2 typewriter paper and glue smallest section from #2 colored cardstock.

7.  Go back to #1 typewriter paper and from #2 colored cardstock glue the next bigger section around the smallest section from before.

8.  Typewriter paper #3 ... glue smallest section from #3 colored cardstock.  Go back to typewriter paper #2 and glue next size from #3 colored cardstock.

9.  Keep repeating steps #5 thru #8 till all the typewriter papers are completed.

10.  You end up with 8 designs or as many as the dies you started.

11.  Cut out each design and create as many cards as you desire with all of the designs.

This is a fun and addicted technique that does take a little time and patience but it's worth it in the end.  If you would like to see a video please go to Jennifer McGuire .
