Part one was about getting die cuts made to order.. in case you were wondering!
This is some general questions about die cutting and such..
Firstly, will dies like cuttlebug etc cut through the copper sheet they sell in craft shops (thin enough to cut with scissors, and emboss with a pencil) ???
Next..
I am hoping to make some gatefold cards, A5 and A6 size, and I wanted to do some cut outs on the front. I dont want to do them with a craft knife (too detailed, too fiddly) but the cards are far too big to go through a machine like a cuttlebug, and the punch type dies dont reach in far enough - they are great for cutting out a motif to attach, but useless for cutting holes! - also the motif can only be cut one way... is there a way round this? are there any manual die cutters with a long reach perhaps??
Many thanks!
