Top Tip: Resizing Die Cuts: Quick Tags & Mini Cards

Nigezza Creates aka Gez, Independent Stampin' Up® Demonstrator 


Thank you for visiting my blog, I really do appreciate it and hope you like the project and will take a look at the video tutorial as well. Last Christmas Eve night my youngest asked me for some tags at almost mid night! I know talk about last minute! SO this year I have made some extras so hopefully I won't be crafting late on Christmas Eve when I should be sleeping!

While making these tags I needed to make the Stitched Nested Die cuts smaller so I worked out how to resize them. You may have already worked this out yourself but if you haven't it is very useful to be able to do this. I was trying to get as many of the cute snowmen out of this DSP as possible. I had a 12"x6" sheet and got 4 tags and 3 mini cards plus there are scraps left over so can make more .
