Product Description:

The “A7 Birch Tree Cover Plate Metal Craft Die” is an add-on die for the Birch Tree Tunnel. This cover plate is a fabulous supersized background die and is also a super intricate Cover Plate with several Birch Tree style trees side by side across the full 5x7 inch size of the die. Use the cover plate in full (for example in the background of your tunnel, your cards, or your other paper projects and/ or in the front of our ever popular and intricate A7 Pop Up Books or cut the background apart and use as many or as few of the trees as you like. You can also create a full and interactive forest by picking and choosing different parts of the cover plate by cutting it apart versus choosing to work with all of your trees at once. You can layer them up and create added dimension by attaching them on more than one side panel. We, here at Scrappy Tails love A7 sized card making and we love the large sized A7 cover plates for quick and stunning card front panel designs - those plates basically do all the work for you. 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
