Welcome to another Tip Tuesday here at Creative Cutter Room
This is Gaby with a little tip on how to give the letters of your title or any cut a little bit more depth. Or if you are just like me and do not like white edges most of the time....
This is a plain letter (you can see I have already been doodling around on my inking mat).
I take a plain brown marker (your kids might already have a crayola one) and trace around.
Another option is to hold it with one hand on the air and go around it with your other hand.
Here is a title using this technique.
And here is another title with a fun design all using the trace around with the marker technique.
Hope you enjoy.

Both Joann and Michaels sell them
They come in different sizes... the larger is on sale for $10.79 at Joann --15"x18"
I calle it inking mat but the official name is Craft Sheet.
This reusable, non-stick, multi-purpose craft sheet offers a heat resistant, slick work surface for easy clean-up. Paint, glue and embossing powders peel off and inks can be easily wiped clean. Its generous 15''x18'' size is perfect for Melt Art projects, scrapbook pages, rubber stamping, embossing, iron-on transfers, polymer clay, painting and more.
I don't like white edges either. Great tip.
great tip it adds a lot of punch
