WE DO!!!!!!!!
It is the perfect time of year to bust out some Black Magic and do some Halloween projects.
We have a really cool technique to share with you today AND all wee long from the team over at KNK. Here is a little bit more about the Klic -N- Kut:
Klic-N-Kut computerized cutting systems are top-of-the line digital die cutters. KNKUSA.com has a great selection of machines to choose from. These machines can cut everything from vinyl to rhinestone rubber, from paper to chipboard, from thin cotton fabric to stiffened felt. Each machine comes with the choice of KNK Studio or Make The Cut!, two vector designing programs rich in functionality. For more information check them out HERE.
SO…we will have some very cool designs for you this week from Team KNK AND we there will be more..just keep reading! AND don’t forget to check out their Facebook page HERE!
So the grim reaper is the first design of the week! Again..we will be here all week showing you some cool designs PERFECT for this time of year. (Head over to the KNK blog for this freebie file…more details on that below)
So can you see how it is all about the colored Core. SO COOL!
NOW..are you looking for a super cool decoration piece?
Use a spotlight behind it!!!
Now…how do you create these works of art? Start with the outer point of smaller pieces and peel toward the center or where it joins a larger section. Look very close..you can see the cut lines.
And continue that process….
If your blade has penetrated far enough into the paper, the black layer will peel off easily.
Hold your paper piercing tool at a very low angle to the paper so you don’t pierce the colored layer, but slide just under the black layer.
Isn’t that crazy cool?!?!?!?!?!?
BOTH the KNK blog AND the Core blog will be giving away a pack of Black Magic to one lucky winner! So comment here and there all week long for a chance to win.
AND they have FREEEEEEEE Halloween files created specifically for use with Core’dinations card stock available in AI, GSD, KNK, MTC, SVG, and WPC !!!!!!!!!!!! HOW COOL IS THAT??!?!?! You need to head over to their blog to get those. These are the images you will see on the blog this week.
AND…yes…there is MORE…
a Team KNK- $50 KNK USA gift certificate, too. Can you believe it? All winner will be random so make sure you get those comments posted!
This is such a fun technique. Looks fun to do and packs great impact. Can’t wait to try it.
I thought just the technique of cutting the top layer to peel off was cool. But the lighting effects just makes it even MORE amazing! It really opens up a new whole lot of possibilities… especially for holiday decorating.
oh how i do love black…and this is just a wonderful technique to compliment the balck cor’dinations card stock…thank you!!!
That is very cool. I have a Gazelle, MTC, and lots of core to play with! This technique is wonderful, thank you so much for sharing. One a side note, I have a friend with a KNK and it is a WONDERFUL machine. Anyone considering a high end machine should check it out.

Who knew I should of invented a paper to make that problem into a gold mine.

I bought a pack of Black Magic about two maybe three years ago and have not even opened it yet. Now I am so wanting to try this technique with your amazing paper.
I now have to race out and buy some Black Magic. Can’t wait to try it out. Thanks for the opportunity to win some awesome prizes.
This Is an amazing technique. Can’t wait to try it.
This is truly amazing! Great technique
This is an awesome project for Halloween. I can’t wait to try it on my new KNK Zing. A chance to win a prize is a plus.
Wow. That is really really cool!!!!!
This is the neatest technique! So many possibilities!
I love this idea!
It always surprises me to see what can be done with your papers!
I’ve never seen this before…love it when I come across something new!!! Now to finally use my black magic paper!!
Super Cool Technique, Michele!!! Can hardly wait to see what you do for Christmas!
This is such an awesome product! There are so many cool things you can do with it!
Great tips… I’ve been having a hard to with delicate patterns & this will help.
Thanks for sharing.
I adore this image! I adore this product, too.
This is just great. Love the technique and the paper!
This is such a neat way to use your cardstock! I never would have thought to try and peel the cardstock, but I can’t wait to give it a try!!
THANKS!
This is great I can’t wait to try it. Thanks for sharing.
I so want to try this, but where do I find the Black Magic cardstock?
I love the way this turned out and can see me using it on something other than Halloween. Like ginger bread house or Christmas ornaments. Way kewl. TFS
What a great way to use the core’dinations paper. I would never have thought of that clever way to use it. Can’t wait to try it out.
Thanks for sharing this and the great files!
I just love the idea that we can barely cut out a picture, peel away part of the paper and put a light behind it to create a truly unique, effective piece of art. Keep up the good work.
I’ve heard about this paper but have never used it. Thanks to this tutorial I can hardly wait!
This is just an awesome technique. I will have to give it a try. I would never have thought of doing that!
