Guest: Ebony Love of Love Bug Studios

Topics: die-cutting tips

She says: "When you're die cutting, you are going to need your rotary mat, your ruler, and your rotary cutter. A die-cutter is a supplement to your rotary cutting; it's not a replacement. You want to make sure that you cut in a comfortable position. You should really have the die cutter at waist level, so you can cut standing up, and that's going to help you get the leverage on your handle to turn it."
