Hi Guys.. Back again, I just wanted to share with you a quick little how to for the gorgeous new Tim Holtz Snowflake Dies -
Snowflake Rosette and Mini Snowflake Rosettes
I have used the Snowflake rosette - this one has the bigger single snowflake on it
These dies are a little different to the other Tim Holtz Bigz Dies - These - the Sizzlitts Decorative Strip dies will only cut paper and cardstock.
Chose your paper that you want to use, and run through your die cutting machine.
Then because i have used Kraft paper, I have swiped over the edges of the die cut pieces with a white paint dabber.
Once it's dry you can fold your long strip piece. When you are folding these you need to fold the like a concertina - first one way then the other.. until you get to the end.
Put a small amount of glue on one end and glue the ends together, they should overlap each ther to give you a nice finshed edge.
I like to have a small piece of scrap cardstock to use as a base - I spread this with a thin layer of glue, Then gently rest the rosette on it's tips on your work surface, with your scrap piece in the centre. Gently push down on your rosette.
It should flatten and form a circle, sticking it to your base piece .
The put a thin layer of glue on your top snowflake piece and stick on top of the rosette to finsih it off.
I have then swipped a very thin layer of glue just around and over the edges,
and sprinkled it with Rock Candy Dry glitter, shake off the excess glitter and let it dry....
Tahh Dahh you have a very cool snowflake
