Technique Tuesday's paper cutting guide for the big shot XL dies


I don't remember where I found this techinque, I went looking for it a couple months after I had seen it, but couldn't find it, so I took what I remembered and pieced it together. You take 12x12 cardstock and cut it at the 7 inch mark, cutting down 7 inches. Rotate the cardstock 90 degrees clockwise and cut at the 7 inch mark, cutting down 7 inches. Repeat this for the other two sides. When you are done, you should have 4 7x5 cuts and 1 2x2 cut. These cuts should work well with some of the big shot XL dies. Even if you don't use them for the big shot, this is a great way of getting the most out of your 12x12 cardstock cuts.
