QuicKutz is an easy and cost efficient way to create embellishments for your page. FotoBella.com sells the Letterpress Combo Kit which includes:

• Epic Six Letterpress and Die-Cutting Tool
• L Letterpress Tool
• Clear Packing Mat with Grid Paper Placement Guides
• Ink Base
• Ink Brayer
• 10 A2 Flat Cards
• 9 Printing Plates with Adhesive Sheets
• 1 Black Ink
• Circle Cutting Dies

 I am going to focus on the Die Cutting Tool. You only need 5 things to get started.  The machine itself, the platform, the cutting mat, your die cut of choice and paper of choice.

 To Begin, Place the die cut on top of your Magnetic Platform (design side up).
Then take your colored paper and place on top of the die cut. Place your cutting mat on top of the die(s). You can cut up to three dies at one time.

Next, Place the Magnetic Platform into your Die Cutting tool and turn the handle until the entire Platform has gone through the machine.  Remove your paper and you will now have a paper embellishment to add to your page. 

I chose to use the Happy Birthday Die Cut and the Ballerina Die Cuts to create a Birthday Page for a 1 year old girl.
