    Scrapbook Layout with Zsoka Marko – Using Electronic and Manual Machines Together

    October 30, 2021 / No Comments

    Hi there crafty friends, Zsoka here with you today and I have a scrapbook layout to share with you using both traditional metal dies as well as digital cut files. Usually, if I do both of these die cutting techniques on my layout, I go with a large cut file to create a design element for my background and add smaller die cuts, such as leaves, hearts, flowers etc, as accents. On my page today, however, I actually created my background with a metal die set and used a cut file for my (not too large) title. I love the Color Block Slices die set, I’ve created several cards with it…

    Custom Christmas Gift Tags by Annie Williams – Using Electronic and Manual Machines Together

    October 24, 2021 / 3 Comments

    Hi there, this is Annie Williams and I’m excited to be back on the blog once again today to share some pretty foiled gift tags made by combining digital cutting files with some of the latest Christmas products from Spellbinders. One of the benefits of using electronic cutting machines in your papercrafting is the ability to cut custom names and phrases to truly personalize a project. However, I still like to use my manual machine to add the texture and shine that really makes the project pop. I always like to create extra special gift tags for my closest loved ones at Christmas.  My Silhouette CAMEO can cut multiple tag…

    Using Electronic and Manual Machines Together | Shadowbox Gift Card Bag by Annie Williams

    October 3, 2021 / No Comments

    Hi there, this is Annie Williams and I’m happy to be back on the blog today to share a fun and festive gift card bag made by combining digital cutting files with some of the latest Christmas products from Spellbinders.  I love the versatility of electronic cutting machines, but often times when they are used with paper crafting the results can look a little flat.  By integrating embossing folders, stencils, and dies that layer or even emboss, you can take an ordinary gift bag to the next level. I loved the idea of these shadowbox gift card bags as a fun way dress up an otherwise ordinary gift card exchange…
