Later today I’ll be sharing my latest project from Lifestyle Crafts!
Buuut I thought it might be a good idea to show you how to cut a die first!
When I first got my die cutter & dies I didn’t have a clue where to begin!
Buuuut once you get the hang of it…it is so fun {& easy}!
Lifestyle Crafts sells two different die cutters the Revolution & the Epic 6.
Today I’ll show you how to cut dies using the Revolution.
Dies come in several ways: nesting dies, cookie cutter dies, 4x4 & 2x2 dies.
Today I’ll show you how to use a 4x4 die with your Revolution.
What I LOVE about the Revolution is that it has a magnetic platform.
So your dies will stick right on! I love this because you don’t have
to worry about your die moving around on you, & it’s easy to align your paper.
The first thing you’ll do is put your die on the platform.
Then you’ll put your paper over the die.
Next you’ll put your cutting mat on top of your paper
& then you’ll crank it through the cutter with the handle.
FYI: See all the marks on my cutting mat…don’t freak out like I did!
It’s suppose to get a little “roughed” up. {It’s almost time for me to get a new one!}
You can buy replacement cutting mats for $3.99 over at Lifestyle Crafts.
Don’t forget to use the code GINGER for 20%! Yay!
Once you’ve cranked your die through your Revolution it will look something like this.
Just remove the excess paper, & then you’ll have a perfect die! So cool!

Thank you so much stopping by my blog!
If this is your first time visiting I’d love to keep in touch.
Disclosure: I was given the flower die from Lifestyle Crafts. I bought the Revolution myself, and I LOVE it!
