A Beginner's Guide to Cutting Cardstock and Making 3D Designs




Hiya, Over on the Silhouette UK Blog I have a pretty and practical Valentine's papercraft project using the Heart Bowl (#39182) file by Snapdragon Snippets. The mini size is perfect for sharing some chocolates or a special gift on Valentine's Day. I've also shared some useful tips for preparing and assembling cardstock projects.



Tips include

  • Fitting more pattern pieces to a sheet
  • Changing perforated lines to score lines
  • Using 'Cut by Line' to use different cut settings on the same pattern piece
  • Advantages of using liquid adhesive
  • How to clean up excess adhesive
  • Reducing the size of the finished item
  • Choosing different weights of paper and cardstock
