First I stamped the images onto 110# white cardstock. I thought the heavier cardstock would be more sturdy in the final project.
Then, closely following the photos on the packaging, I colored both birds with my Copic markers.
I cut them out using the dies included with the sets.
I had bought the laminating/magnet cartridge for my Xyron 510 sticker maker some time ago and just recently pulled it out for another project. I inserted my die-cut bird images into the machine . . .
. . . cranked the handle, and out they came.
I fussy cut them with small scissors, leaving a narrow border of magnet material showing.
And my project was complete.
I just wanted to show that you can do more with these stamps and dies than just make a fun card. I hope you give this a try!
