Time for another Stamp It Saturday! This week Sandiebella has a really useful tutorial for you on how to do “Out of the Frame” die-cutting, where you die cut your image using a circle/square/whatever die with a portion (in this case the balloons) sitting outside the die-cut. Simple, but oh so handy, especially for images like our gorgeous Uptown Girl Bentley.

Out of the Frame Die Cutting:

Stamp the image on to white card and colour using your preferred medium.

Copic Markers used:

Balloons – BG13, BG15, BG18. R81, R83, R85. V12, V15, V17

Position the die over the image and mentally note where you want to cut.

Trim around the balloons leaving a white border

Keep trimming each side of the balloons until you are happy with the positioning. Run the image through the cuttlebug, or similar die cutting machine, ensuring the balloons are over the die.

At this point, if you want to sponge the background, leave the die in place. Otherwise remove the die and the image is ready to use on a card.
