News from the Craftsite Blog  We often get emails from people asking for card making advice on using a certain product or for a solution to a certain problem they are experiencing. We always try to find an answer (and most times we succeed) and reply to whoever asked the question but some of the things we discover are so useful we share them in the blog.
Card Making
Tip of the Week
A tip from Nellie herself
February 26th, 2010
A few people were experiencing problems when using Nellie’s dies, especially the largest of the rectangle shapes, in that they weren’t getting a clean cut. This solution came from Nellie herself and we’ve tested it and it works a treat.
Cut a piece of acetate so that it’s longer than the die (it doesn’t need to be wider but it does need to be longer so when the die is placed on top of it there is some of the acetate protruding above and below the die).
 The piece Madeleine used in the test was 210mm x 50mm.
Place the piece of acetate on the C plate then the die, cutting side up, on top of the acetate. Then add your card or paper and your B plate as normal. You’ll find the die cuts your card or paper much better.
