Cutting the Designer Series Paper
  1. Depending on the accuracy of your diagonally cut lines, the space between each piece should be 1/8". 
  2. Careful planning is needed when cutting pieces.   Layers 2, 4, and 5 are best with solid background. 
  3. The sections can be flipped and turned over to make use of all the paper.
  4. Arrange in order before gluing. 
  5. The sentiment can be stamped on the left or right side.
  6. Apply layers beginning from the top. 
  7. A piece of graph paper and ruler helps keep the spacing even and straight.
