How to use the deep cut blade and make your own chipboard dies-cuts or thickers. If you don't have a deep cut blade don't worry we can share. For the chipboard project look through your cartridge handbooks and decide on a image you would like to make. A layered image will work best, and one that includes a blackout or base image that you build your layers on. I'll supply the chipboard to cut with, please bring the papers you would like for your layers. Look to see if you have a shamrock cartridge.
