Quick Tip to Extend or Shorten Your Dies

If you want to make a die become longer or shorter than simply cut your card stock accordingly. Let me explain.

To extend the die or make a piece longer simply cut your desired piece the same (or just barely smaller) width or height. Then slip the one end up and over the end of the die so it doesn’t get cut. After doing the first side then slip the uncut side through to the desired length leaving the other side up. This will allow the piece to be a longer, customized length.

To shorten the die or make a piece shorter simply cut as normal. Then take the cut piece of cardstock and insert again to cut shorter. See picture below.

Happy Crafting!
