[...] And there is a trick to cutting the 12×12 cardstock so that you can get two sets of pieces for the Matchbox die from one sheet. This idea was shared with me by a friend at the retreat and she found it on the internet on another demonstrators website. I don’t know who originally came up with the idea but it is a brilliant one. UPDATE: The person that came up with the cutting template is Lisa Freeman. [...]

Hi, Lisa – I finally purchased the Big Shot die and knew about Patty's great video based on your template. However, I'm also a print person and still messed up several – thank goodness now-retiring – pieces of 12X12, getting only three 5-1/2 x 6-1/2 pieces, with a 1" leftover strip! So, I ultimately linked to your blog and so appreciate your specific "cut to the bottom left edge of each side of your square." It worked perfectly and I now have my first Matchbox! Thanks for the Ghirardelli tip, too – I just happened to have some on hand waiting for another project – perfect! Thanks so much for sharing!

Someone shared your template idea with me and I created the template and showed it on my blog with a grad cap idea that I made with the matchbox. Now that I found out you originated this brilliant idea I added a link here to your blog. I hope that is ok. Thank you.

This is such a great idea and I’m thinking, why didn’t I think of that. This cutting tip will work for other projects as well. Thanks so mcuh.
