New Feature – Becca Bits: Diecut Windows

by 45 comments


I’m beginning a new feature here on Amazing Paper Grace called Becca Bits.  So often you email questions on how I did this or how I did that.  I admit it, sometimes I’m moving a little bit too fast or don’t realize I’m omitting things you want to know.  So for those times when I’ve been brief on a quick technique or routine, I’ll share them here for the benefit of those who don’t know how.  These are not things that I created . . . I’m just sharing how I do it.   The keyword here is quick though, cause if you blink, you might miss them, lol!


The first thing that falls into my Becca Bits category is how to make multiple windows on sheet of paper that doesn’t seem to fit through the die cut machine.  On my recent Twist Top Box you asked how I did the windows.  Lucky me, I had already taped a separate quick tutorial because I had a hunch there would be questions.  I’m sharing that video with you today.  I’m using my Wizard with cutting plates and magnetic mat, an oval Spellbinders die cut, tape and lastly the same cardstock I cut for the Twist Top Box HERE.  Enjoy.



Say, please bear with me while I make further adjustments with my equipment and camera location. Okay, so now you know why I drug my feet getting these published, lol!  I’m sure I’ll find the sweet spot soon :-)

    Thanks!! When you explain/ show it I can see it is easy!!
    I have a Cuttlebug, but recently I also bought a Wizard. I can see there are techniques such when you need the magnetic mat that won’t work as well without it when using Cuttlebug
    The new feature, “Becca’s Bits ” will be an added bonus on your site.

    Thanks for the tuto Becca.

    Just to let you know that Claire’s stamps are amazing, I’ve some of them too and I’m looking for anothers. She is very talented and this Idea to create some stamps available with nestabilities is a really great idea.

    Have a good day,

    Becca:
    Fabulous!!! I think your work is divine and I love your new “Becca Bits”.
    It looks so easy when we see how you do the many things you do.
    This is my first comment and I was wondering 2 things. I have a slight hearing problem and am wondering if you can turn your recording volume up. I have both volumes on my computer to 100% and still have difficulty hearing your soft spoken voice. (2). Can you put your video into print also, so we can print and save your techniques? I realize I am making a huge request, but You are my inspiration and I don’t want to miss a thing!!!!!! Thanks for all of your sharing.ReplyCancel

  • june lanumFebruary 4, 2010 - 1:58 pm

    your work is beautiful………everything,,,,,,, the cootie catcher brought back memories and was gorgeous, but I couldn’t remember how to fold it, and I tried several times. Would it be asking to much for directions? I have asked several people and showed them your card they all thought it was amazing but no one could remember how to fold it.. Thanks so much for whatever help your willing to share.ReplyCancel

  • june lanumFebruary 12, 2010 - 6:55 pm

    This is probably not the help your talking about giving, but I need a place to start and thought maybe you could give me some directions…..
    I set up a blog, but that is all I can do. I can post but don’t know how to design it, add gadgets, upload pictures or make a link to other info.
    Any suggestions?ReplyCancel
