Create a perfectly layered sentiment mat effortlessly using the Memory Keepers Layers Guide Tool available HERE on Amazon. This is an essential tool for achieving precise, clean layers on your cards.
Glue your sentiment onto cardstock. Use a thicker cardstock for best results
For the best results, align the Layers Guide with your cutting mat and temporarily glue down the stamped sentiment and mat for stability. Balance the tool guide equally across the cutting mat. Using a sturdy surface and a box cutter ensures clean cuts every time.

We R Memory Keepers Tool Kit is available HERE. It includes a cutting mat, magnetic steel ruler, scissors, craft knife, reverse tweezers, brad setter and piercing tool.
I use this kit nearly every time I create cards. The magnetic ruler has a great metal edge to use with these box cutter.

For a perfect cut getting the best cuts when you are cutting a diagonal piece of paper. For just a few dollars, you'll understand why I use them. They can be purchased HERE.
No company matches their quality products. I purchase all my cardstock, designer paper, ink, and stamps from SU. However, I no longer buy their dies—reason #1: I believe they are overpriced (JMO), and reason #2: I own a Brother ScanNCut (BSNC), which replaces the need for dies. I taught myself how to use Canvas Workspace, a free software program for the BSNC. It can die cut the pears pictured below with a nice margin around them; it’s incredibly easy. Most of SU’s Designer Series Papers include patterns that coordinate beautifully with their dies, making everything versatile and convenient.
I created a tutorial to take your BSNC, along with their free Canvas Workspace software to create your own Faux Dies. I have both the CM250 and SDX85 models. The CM250 is no longer manufactured. I purchased the SDX model because of its versatile and wireless features. For more information about my BSNC Faux Die tutorial, click HERE. All you need to know to create your own Faux Dies from your stamp images are the basics. Check out the PaperedChef's channel on YouTube HERE, she provides easy to follow video instructions on cutting out shapes like the pears shown below. Subscribe to her channel and give a Stampin' Up! demonstration a thumbs up on her videos.
