The end of school is just around the corner and wouldn't this make a great thank you card for a teacher who has worked so hard all year with our little kiddos? The fox and sentiment are from the Fox Clear Set from Rubberenecker Stamps. They were stamped on a white panel with Black Onyx VersaFine Ink and embossed with Clear Embossing Powder. The panel was then die-cut using the Nested Rectangle Stitch Die and the fox was colored with Zig Clean Color Real Brush Pens.
I wanted to frame the fox and sentiment and the Square Combo #1 OPC Die-cut framed both perfectly. I love this frame, it doesn't come apart so when you cut your paper, you get a bunch of different size and shaped frames.
I just have to share the best-kept secret when it comes to die cutting machines, it's the Crossover II Fabric and Paper Cutting System. I recently heard about it and was told I should get one because it's amazing, well I was skeptical because after all I already had three different ones but being the crazy crafter that I am, I thought why not. Well oh my gosh I LOVE it!!
Here's why
1. On the top of the Crossover is a wheel that adjusts the tension and how firm the pressure is on the die.
2. You can run embossing folders through it.
3. You can even run your thick dies through it.
4. The plates are thicker so the top plastic plate doesn't warp like the others.
Mine has only gotten a very slight bend but I just turn it over no problem.
5. It comes with a metal cutting plate so you aren't cutting into a plastic plate.
6. You can cut many different materials, click HERE to see a video of what all it cuts.
