Directions
  1. Center succulent die onto 4" x 5  3/8" BB cardstock. 
  2. Center, nest and die cut together #1 and #2 Stitched Rectangle dies using 4" x 5 3/8" BB cardstock
  3. Apply double-sided adhesive to the back of die cut cardstock from Step 2.
  4. Attach succulent die piece from Step 1 and apply pressure to secure the tiny cuts to the cardstock. Trim off excess
  5. Apply double-sided adhesive to the completed Step 4 piece and apply pressure to secure the adhesive.  Attach to card front, applying pressure to secure.
  6. Die cut small succulent using BB and SS cardstock and piece together for the inside of the card.
  7. Die cut sentiment mat using Potted Succulent die
  8. Stamp sentiment onto SS 2 3/8" x 3/8" and attach stamped sentiment from Step 7. 
  9. Place Dimensionals under sentiment mat layers
Helpful Tips
  • Die cut with the cutting edge of the succulent die face up - this makes the cutting edge closer to the pressure points of your cutting machine (Big Shot)
  • Place rectangle or square dies and cardstock angled on your cutting plates.
  • Place a piece of copy paper (nothing thicker) on top of the top cutting plate for added pressure against the cutting edges.
  • Make sure to remove all pieces of the cardstock from the die. Extra pieces caught in the tiny holes can add pressure and bend the cutting edges if layers of cardstock builds up in the tiny holes.
