Your Next Stamp Designer Showcase!

Today I want to highlight one of the fantastic older Your next Stamp Dies the Puzzle die!
I will show you how too create an adorable Photo Puzzle that makes a great little Stocking Stuffer, and its Super Simple!

Lets get started!

Here is what you will need.

Light weight chipboard the same size as your photo 
Tip: This technique works best if your photo is larger than the die
so 4x6 photos are perfect!
A Photo
Double Sided Adhesive


First cover the back of your Photo with the Double Sided Adhesive


Now remove the backing and attach the photo to the chipboard.


Now run it through your die cutting machine, it may be necessary to use a shim as we are cutting thru the chipboard and the photo, also pass it back and forth twice.


And Viola you have an adorable custom made puzzle


Now separate it and you have the perfect stocking Stuffer!


I also created a card using the same Method with these YNS products.



Either way this Puzzle Die is a must have for YNS collection!!
