Thinking outside your framelits

11/24/2015

Today I have a video and a few card samples showing you how to think outside your framelits.
When you have an image that is slightly larger in one area than the size of your framelit, you don't always have to change size or go find another completely different shape - you can use this technique and give your cards a little 'How did she do that?' ;)

Using this technique the stamped image remains part of the card stock that the framelit is used to cut out - especially useful for tails and ears :)

Here are my samples.....
Here is the video showing you how to do this technique.....
I am appreciative of your comments and feedback - please click below to leave one :)

If you have a phtogrpah of a project you made using this technique - please include it - I would love to see it :)

Thank you for sharing this technique. So many times what seems to be difficult is really quite simple to do. Your cards are beautiful! Looking forward to trying this.

Oh my goodness... this is great!!! How easy but I never thought of it! My one question is why not use the pencil on the outside of the frame and then there is no erasing?

Hi!
The reason you need to pencil around the inside of the framelit is that you need the guide to cut IN to. If you only cut to a guideline around the outside you'll tear the paper as you try to put your stamped image that's outside the framelit over the framelit.
I only showed one image (or two in the case of the bird) that stick out the framelit shape but you can have many.
You can, if you are good at positioning only put a pencil mark on each side of the stamped image to guide you where to cut to.
Personally I've never had an issue with erasing the image. The eraser I use in the video is the brand I've used for over 35 years :)
Thanks for you comment.
