‘Circle Scissors Plus’ from Stampin’ Up!
Hi stampers.
Today I’m sharing a simple little project made with the NEW tool available from Stampin’ Up!: the Circle Scissors Plus. With this tool you can cut out circles up to 6 inches in diameter, you can cut rings and….. it also draws circles because it comes with a marker attachment!
It took just a little practice for me to get used to it, but it really does work well. I love how it can cut out rings to make perfect little frames for scrapbook pages and Off The Page projects.
For best results:
– Use with a glass cutting mat (such as the one in the Summer Mini catalogue) to prolong the life of the blades
– Use a little bit of Dotto repositionable adhesive to hold the cardstock in place.
– When cutting rings, always cut the inner circle first. Then – without moving the cardstock or circle cutter – adjust the measurements and continue cutting.
– The markers work beautifully with the this tool. Just insert the marker into the Marker Attachment, so the tip of the marker is *just* sticking out, then tighten the grip so the marker is held firm.
– Use a light touch (thanks for Steph and the other demos on the ESAD-SU forum for Stampin’ Up! demonstrators for helping me with this technique tip). If you push too firmly the cutter might slip. Easy does it.
Today’s project features a glass jar that has been lying around my house for a while, and I thought I’d try to pretty it up. In addition to using the Circle Scissors Plus to make this project, I also used the gorgeous Kaleidoscope DSP and the new butterfly punch.
Happy stamping,
Hi Simone 🙂
Thank you so much for all of your wonderful posts and creations! I must thank you especially for this post though – it secured my main Christmas present, and helped my mum calm down about what to get me haha. Thanks 🙂 Merry Christmas!!
