Take a 6" square sheet of card stock. (I cut a 12" sheet into 4) You can use any colour, I just happened to have a spare pink piece on my desk for the test run and used that, then I quite liked the result, so have done this one in it too! I think it is quite retro and funky!
Fold it in half and place it on the Typewriter die with the fold just below the top of the typewriter so it falls just inside the blades which are hidden in the foam.
Run this through your machine and pop all the loose bits out. They mostly fall out and does not require much fiddle.
BECAUSE they all fell out, I designed an "inner" for the card and here it is as a JPG you can save to your PC by right clicking on it and selecting "save image as". I get 4 out of a 12" sheet. I chose Chocolate brown as I liked the contrast in colour.
Then I needed some "paper" in the typewriter to add my sentiment onto and here it is as a JPG... I get 16 out of a 12" sheet. For this I chose boring white...and inked the edges with walnut stain Distress ink.
I then stuck it all together. It really does not take long. 
Hope this tut was helpful.
Thanks for the visit

ReplyDeleteThis is a very cool card. I saw this die when I went to see Carolyn when I was in CT and thought NAH I will never use it.. but I really like this little card... I really think I have to come and play by you when we come in July....:D
