Discover the secrets of digital die-cutting in these simple-to-follow
guides for aspiring artists.
Cutting machines have a limitless range of uses, and are becoming more
affordable and accessible to the hobby artist; however, while the
manufacturers provide copious instructions and project ideas, these are
not easy for the newcomer to navigate.
The Cut & Craft series serves to reveal all of the secrets and the
potential of these appealing machines to the keen beginner, as well as
explaining to the more established die-cutting artist some new tricks
and techniques.
Getting Started... is the first in this new series, and aims to
introduce the reader to all that the machines can achieve through
projects ranging from simple paper-cut and gifts to more complex
endeavours, involving the cutting of fabrics and other materials. The
instructions can be applied to any die-cutting machine, whether this is
a Sizzix or a Cricut, or any other die-cutting machine on the market.
and the author provides useable, adaptable templates for each project.
This first title explores the basic techniques and materials that can be
used and applied; followed by 30 inspirational step-by-step projects
that can be easily personalised, for events such as birthdays, Christmas
and baby showers and so on. The second title in the series will focus
exclusively on die-cutting projects for weddings.
