Hi everyone. I hope you're ready to cut outside the lines today. This technique works great when you have an image that you want to extend past the edge of the frame you want to use. Whether it's a flower, a tree, or in my case today, a turkey, using Nestabilities, or Coluzzels, you can create interest and drama to your projects.
What will you need?
Cardstock
Image
Either Nestabilities dies or Coluzzel cutting system
Cutting Snips (short and sharp bladed scissors)
Pencil
and any other supplies you might want to finish your project with.
I have created a PDF file with pictures showing you the process of achieving this look. If you don't have a PDF reader, you can download a free one by CLICKING HERE.
When you open the PDF file, along side each picture you will see little yellow boxes that looks like a sticky note. Click on these sticky notes to see my instructions and if you have questions, just post them and I'll do my best to answer them. Once you see how easy this technique is, you'll be cutting "Outside the Box" all the time!
I love this technique. In fact, I just did it on a card I made the other day. Won't have time before work, but I will definitely do something when I get home tonight. Oh, BTW, cute card!
Thanks so much for the instructions on cutting outside the lines with a nestie. I've always wondered how that was done but was never able to figure it out. You're so clever!
This was soo much harder then I thought it would be. This is my 4th try at it today...the others were horrible. I'll have to play with this a lot more before I can feel comfortable with it. BUT............that's what this challenge is all about !!! Learning something new !
Great job Lynn....................
Thanks
Tina

Love this technique, Lynn! I use it all the time. In fact, I did a tutorial for it back in Feb, if y'all are interested. Out of the Box Nestie Tech.. I'll see if I can do one for the challenge today! Thanks!
Some are fun to do and most likely I might not repeat the technique often, but this one is SO useful(especially for someone who loves their Nesties and Labels). One of those "why didn't I think of that??" things.
Hi Lynn, LOVE the technique! Did anyone else have trouble getting the instructions, though? I have the Adobe Reader, but couldn't quite get things to work. Thanks for another great challenge. hugs, Chris

I had to click several times on the directions for them to open for me.
Thanks for the instructions of this. I did find that I had to cut into the image a bit further than I thought in order to line the die cut up where I wanted it. But otherwise this wasn't too bad. Here's my card.
