How do you make a die cut for paper crafting?

Question

I don't need a complicated design, just mostly a template for the shell of an invitation.

Answer 1

I would use the back of a notebook, the thick cardboard that way it is able to stand up to being traced etc repeatedly.  Use an exacto knife to cut out your design, and be sure to have something under your cardboard so you do not damage your table.

You could also consider using a foam sheet that you can buy at a craft store like Michael's but I think the cardboard would be more stable.

Answer 2

I'm answering this thinking you are looking for templates -  if it's not at all what you were looking for... soz! (I had fun looking, as always... and got sidetracked... as always!)

On this one, there are patterns where the little line graphic is, save as directed - it wouldn't let me give you a direct link.
