Adorning Accents Die-Cut Tutorial

Here's another Apothecary Art card we made last month at my Big Shot Class. 

There is just one day left to get in on my Class to Go featuring the Apothecary Art stamp set.  Read about it here. 

We made this fun-fold card by adjusting the clear acrylic plate on top of the scored card before it is die-cut with the Adorning Labels dies. 

I scored my 5 1/2 X 8 1/2" card in half first at 4 1/4".  Then I scored one of those sides in half at 2 1/8". Place the center point of the die on this 2 1/8" mark. 

In this photo you can see I have placed the clear acrylic plate over the area I want to cut out.  The acrylic plate edge meets up with that 2 1/8" score mark and just this part of it is over the card stock and die.  The rest is hanging over nothing as it runs through your Big Shot. 

Here's a view of the inside.  I did stamp and die-cut two of the same images for the outside and the inside front of the card and colored them in with markers. 

The Certainly Celery label die-cut inside the card is just a bit larger than the front one so it layers wonderfully. 

Supplies:

• Stamps - Apothecary  Art, Bring on the Cake
• Ink - Black Stazon, Blushing Bride
• Card stock - Blushing Bride, Whisper White, Certainly Celery
• Accessories - Big Shot, Adorning Accents Labels dies, sponge, markers, Certainly Celery taffeta ribbon

-what a beautiful card! thanks so much for the instructions - is the card in the first photo the same as the last photo? - it looks like the framelit is cut on the right side in the first photo and on the last photo it is cut on the opposite side(left side)
