Why does a purchased die-cut shape have perforations? Card-making/scrapbooking creative options?
Hi!
I have bought a bumper pack of card-making goodies and it included a number of pre-cut shapes (eg, circles, animals etc..) made out of coloured paper. Some of these have perforations (ie, dashed lines that I can cut/tear down).
For example. The dog, facing forward, has its legs and tail perforated. I can’t think why this is, am I meant to to shape them or something? Won’t it look a bit odd if I just stick the shape on a card with these lines on?
Thanks for any thoughts.
When using die cuts you can layer them and use the perforated lines for this. So the dogs tail can be in a different color-using two of the same die cut in two different colors. Or you can chalk or shade on these lines.
