This is a hard card to photgraph as it does not stand well on its own!
I started by stamping an oval shaped image on the front of a white card near the bottom right corner.
I took my colluzzle template and put a "stop" on it so that i will not cut more than half of the oval. I made my own "stop" with just a scrap of cardstock and some double stick tape. I just tape it right onto the template at approximately half way across the oval.
Then I lined up my colluzzle with the bottom edge of the stamped image. It did not match exactly so I just used the one that fit best.
Then I cut just the bottom of the image - the attached snip part of the colluzzle was there so after I cut it I had to snip with my mini Kai scissors to complete the cut.
Then I lined it up in my paper trimmer and cut the straight edge to finish the bottom edge.
When you cut - use the little pointers on the side of your blade to judge where it starts the cut. SO you raise the cutting bar and place the blade where you want it to start and then start cutting from there. You can also do this part with scissors if you do not trust your self with your cutter!
After you have the bottom cut off - you add a strip of pattern paper inside the card for contrast below your tab image.
Voila!
