Product Description:

The “Adorn the Tree Metal Craft Die” is an add-on die for the Snowflake Tunnel Series. It is a smaller sized die, but it is a very delicate and a very pretty add-on die set, which includes a most adorable scene of a boy and girl decorating up a city center Christmas tree. The kids are dressed up in cute wintery clothes and each of them hold a little ornament in their hands,ready to be hung on the pretty Christmas tree, that was designed to be standing in the city center. There is even a little foot stool for the one kid to stand on - so he can even reach the highest point of the tree in order to decorate it. These kids are very busy hanging their ornaments on the super intricately illustrated Christmas tree - complete with many ornaments, cute chains and  even little bows. The details are insanely intricate and every little detail has been lovingly illustrated for your paper piecing enjoyment. Some paper piecing/ paper layering is required to create some extra interest and dimension on your die cuts. The main images would also look pretty as a focal point on a standard flat A2 (4 1/4 x 5 1/2 inch) notecard sized card or can even assist to adorn your A7 (5 x 7 inch) sized cards. The add-on set is a great way to create interest in your tunnel cards by creating lovely scenes and these images are also a great size to use in combination with last year’s trifold cards as well.

We will be sharing technique tutorials and many beautiful interactive pop up cards, tunnel shadow box cards and other gorgeous 3D card design samples on our YouTube channel and our design team is also ready to create some fabulous tunnel pop ups, trifolds and other interactive cards this year- so please keep your eye open on our social media and on our “Scrappy Tails Crafters” Facebook fan page. 

Directions for metal craft die use:

1. Gently remove the metal craft die from it’s packaging
2. Using your favorite die-cutting machine, lay a piece of strong card-stock facing the sharp edges of the die and run the required “plate sandwich” through your machine (please note that different machines use different die-cutting sandwiches)
3. These dies are thin steel dies and they work in most available manual and automatic die cutting machines, such as your Vagabond, Cuttlebug, Gemini, Gemini junior, Spellbinder’s Platinum, Big Kick, Big Shot etc.
4. Dies work on different thin materials, including paper, cardstock, specialty foiled or glitter papers
