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

I love the Color Block Slices die set, I’ve created several cards with it…

The Color Block Slices Dies come with two long triangle shaped dies to make sun rays, star bursts, and zigzag patterned backgrounds. These two dies take all the measuring and guesswork out of creating a similar background with a paper trimmer. Today Josie’s cute card features a white space between each colorful slice and she has a great trick to achieve an even spacing. She begins her rainbow background with one slice positioned from the top left corner to the bottom right corner. Then she uses a strip of cardstock, a little less than…
