Does anyone else besides me have a difficult time figuring out how to cut these angles? I sure could use a good tip, if you have one. This is for today's sketch challenge. It's graduation time, and I needed a masculine one, and I love the richness of these papers. I used the rectangle from Solid Shapes to stamp close to cocoa over the words (stamped off twice before stamping over words) and also sponged the edges in the same color. TFL!

Super grad card! Great colors and dp. Perfect sentiment. Love the piercing. I did what Rox and DawnL did...printed the sketch, and actually put that on top of the dp and just followed the angle with my cutter. Super easy that way....no measuring....

Great grad card, Charlene! Love the colors and the way you stamped the background! The secret to my cuts like these is to let my hubby do it! Thats the only time he is allowed to touch my stamping toys! lol Not that he would want to!

It's a wonderful card Charlene! I just cut my paper in a rectangle for the widest part. Then, take a ruler and mark in on the edge you want smaller from each end the same distance. (1" in from each end) Then, put the larger end in the paper trimmer on the corner and line up the measured mark and trim. Do the same to the other side. Make sense?
