Ready to Ride DSP

 

Check out these 2 cards.

Which do you like better?

THIS- the motorcycle?

OR

THAT- the old car?

 

Are you coming to stamp with me at one of my monthly 

April stamp classes?

If you are- then you'll get to make one of these cards.

Which one are you going to choose to make?

How did I do that?

Notice how I wanted the lines on the embossing folder 

so that it was like the same angle that the DSP was cut at.

• I slid the Basic Gray CS into the embossing folder.
• I laid the DSP on the outside of the embossing folder where I wanted it- by following the lines/pattern on the outside of the embossing folder.
• I diagonally turned the Basic Gray CS so that it was lined up with the angle of the DSP & lines in the embossing folder pattern.  SEE PHOTO ABOVE.
  
• Using a Black Sharpie marker I made little corner marks directly on my embossing folder.  This way when I was mass producing for my classes I could easily find the same spot that I wanted the CS in each time without having to measure it.
• When I'm done with my classes this month I will use a Mr. Eraser & remove the Black Sharpie marks on my embossing folder!

This old car is from the 

#159071-He's All That= $22.00

I die cut the words using the 

#159182- Cracker & Treat Box Dies- $36.00.
