Making Mini Notecards with Spellbinders Nestabilties

Using any of your dies, you can make small notecards.

Cut and score a piece of cardstock to be slightly larger than your die.
Place the SCORED edge of your card just below the edge of the die.
(if you place the score OVER the edge, it will cut the card in half, or if you place the card just on the edge, the pattern will impress into your card slightly.)
A plate, C plate (you are Cutting), die (rough-side up), card, B Plate.
Run it through the machine.
Here it is:

Creating a Medallion for a Focal Image with Spellbinders Nestabilities

This technique creates a unique place to put an image on a card.
Because you are only embossing, it is acceptable to place one die rough-side up and the other die rough-side down.
This placement will create a large inside edge:
(A plate, B plate, dies, your card, 3 sheets of cardstock, tan embossing mat, B plate)
Large inside edge:
This placement will create a large outside edge:
(A plate, B plate, dies, your card, 3 sheets cardstock, tan embossing mat, B plate)
Large outside edge:
Circles are fabulous for this technique also.
