Tutorial Tuesday...

For JustRite® Papercraft's Tutorial Tuesday, I show you how to get more value from your Spellbinders die cutting collection by demonstrating how to use the negative portions or waste pieces we normally throw away. This stretches your crafting dollar even further, and you can create gorgeous papercrafting projects with this technique.

They are having a giveaway on JustRite Papercraft's inspiration blog, so make sure you hop over where you'll get a chance to win a prize!
