Anyone have a tutorial for this technique?
 

I found this on Pinterest but the website is no longer available. I would really like to give this a try.

The dies look like SU labels framelits dies. They look connected on opposite sides. I will need to think that through since I can't find any and have no idea what it is called.

Thanks Kathy....that's about as far as I got too. I did find some instructions but they were in German (I think). Googled translation but it was so far off track that I couldn't make heads nor tails of it.

It would make for an easier search if I knew what the technique was called.

Can you give me a link to it on Pinterest? I'd like to find it too!

I can't find the post with the German instructions. I'm going to keep looking.

Here's the Pinterest Page:

And here is the translation that I got when I Googled:

Starts with the smallest Framlits frame. Nice concentric positions and with Post-Its fixes. Thus slip away nothing more... The sandwich, as usual, only the uppermost acrylic record begins only in the first Scallop. Thus it cuts only here where the sandwich is complete.


The second Frame now in the small one straighten. The acrylic record now on the other side ' do not cut ' leave.
Always nicely in the change, until the biggest Frame is completely punched out. Then you can do in another color all Frames over again completely

The Frames bestempel I now. If something certain gets on, you should think that the frame is still stuck in the end.

I have moved the creases with the help of the new Simply Scored.

Everything bestempelt....
(who may, with pleasure behind and in front)
I stick the banner and the aerial balloons only behind purely...
The smallest Frame gets on as a title in front.

hr have no crease in the optics. The aerial balloon are wrong around...

It sounds like you start with a piece of cardstock that is larger than the largest die. Center the smallest die in the middle of the cardstock and hold it in place with a post-it or removeable tape. When you put the die between the cutting plates, you put the edge of the cutting plates just inside the die so part of the die hangs out into the air and will NOT cut through. That makes the hinge. Then you repeat with each size larger die except that you alternate which end is NOT cut (for the hinge) until you get all the cutouts you want.

Going to give it a try....thank you so much!

Well that's the basic cut Arlene! Now to figure out how she got the DSP in because when you open the hinged piece its an open piece.

This is my first quick try.

Looks like you got it! I'm going to PM you for more details.

Very cool!

I used labels one from spellbinders since I didn't have the set she used. I'm going to try again with a different die and better DSP. I've learned a long time ago not to start a new project with the good stuff! LOL

Just made one. Took four tries. I am not the best when it comes to spacial awareness so kept cutting wrong end! Used cheap paper so looks awful!

I had to stop and talk to myself trying to figure out placement for the next die so I'm with you on that!

Here's the link to the blog with the pictures for this technique:

Thank you for that, Bugga.

I am anxious to try it now and will take the advice given below and use cheap paper for the first few tries. I am spatially challenged as well!

You're welcome. It really is a great looking technique, and I can kind of figure it out by looking at all the pictures. Only trouble - I don't have those particular dies. Maybe another set of nesting dies would work, sort of.:)

I used Labels One dues for my sample. I'm thinking Labels 8 will work too. I'll bet just about any nesting set of dies would work.

You're right - yours looks great, Kathy. I think I have both of those sets, too.

I think it works best when the frames are even all the way round. Some sets have varying thickness.
