Sure cuts a lot 3 pro locks up in middle of cut
I colorized them for the preview, you can read my tutorial on how to recolor the stamps in Paint Shop Pro here. Here is a look at the All Around Phrases set: If you want a printable template I found a nice one here, it is very similar )Īnd if you missed the fancy envelope svg freebie you can grab it from this post. I also have a version for Cricut users who have Design Studio and Plantain Schoolbook here. Slide the top and bottom of the box together.ĭownload the curvy lock box SVG version for SCAL users here. Here is how to fold it: Cut two boxes the same size and score and fold like this. To make the box you cut two of the exact same size shape. The die cut curvy edge box is a freebie too, I made it with my Cricut and Sure Cuts a Lot Software. This set is so useful, you can layer them together and put other digi (or even traditional) stamps in the middle, or cut them out and use them as a frame, or even recolor them and make a pattern paper like I did for this weeks freebie. These projects were made with the new All Around Phrases digital stamp set. I placed my doodle daisy stamp in the center on this one. I had never heard of your site and I love how you write (and think).Happy Thursday folks! I have a couple of freebies for you this week and two new stamp sets in the Lindsay’s Stamp Stuff shop: Stamps: Lindsay's Stamp Stuff (All Around Phrases), Die Cuts (freebies, see below) Pattern Paper: American Crafts, DCWV This only takes minutes to make: print the stamp, die cut the elements, and place a silk flower and button in the center, easy! I used the png file of the rattle from the Babies and bows set in the center of the Congratulations stamp from All Around Phrases, printed it and colored it. By doing it in little “pulses” it was easy to add the 1/3 at the top horizontally. At first I did the whole chute and it was a little hard to keep ending up straightening the beans at the bottom as I filled it.as some ended up vertically no matter how careful I was. Just a quick tip for anyone reading this, I found it easier to fill the chute with the beans horizontally and use the pulse feature for a few seconds till the beans were about 1/3 down the chute, then add some more pulse 1/3, repeat fill, etc.
I went right out to Aldi’s and bought their package of green beans cut them in half (the chute in my food processor required it) and I was thrilled. It’s like they’ve disappeared from the earth. I NEVER would have thought of using the food processor for French Cut Green Beans which I always preferred but for some reason can no longer find in the frozen vegetables any more. You realize that this obsession of yours is a complete WASTE OF TIME and no one in their right mind wants to slice green beans by hand.Īnd then, the ah-ha moment we’ve all been waiting for… You discover your child flushing play-doh (mock poo) down the toilet. You have to do it one-by-one and after about 10 of them, the novelty wears off. The package said so: pull the beans through the blades and for gorgeous, thinly sliced strands. It would be the perfect solution to my problem. Clearly not a popular item it was on a bottom shelf about 1 inch off the floor covered in dust.
The end result is a big pile of uneven, funky looking beans.Įventually, I got my hands on an actual green bean cutter. I’ve never been able to achieve good results by hand. Some green beans are straight, some curvy, and then you get the odd bent one (or two). The problem is they’re not all the same size. So what’s the secret? The magazines make it look so stylish and simple… Because of their slender shape, they cook faster than whole beans and offer a unique visual presentation. Ever wonder how to French-cut green beans?įrench-cut is just a fancy term for julienne or thinly sliced.
