Quick Tip

When there's a need of a line of embellishments such as tags, pictures, etc, and absolute perfection is not critical, there's a method  I found that eliminates rulers, pencil marks, or crimped paper.

Using a 12x12 cutting map I use a large rubber band expanded over and around the mat.  Assure the rubber band is resting on a designated mark on both sides, and not twisted. Pull the background between the rubber band and mat, marry the top or bottom of the pulled through paper to a predetermined guide mark on the mat.  Line the objects upon the rubber bands once adhesives are attached and use care to place the bottom or top of the element just over/under the band while carefully not moving the placement of the band.

Works like a charm every time!
