Ruth Hamilton show us how she uses the Tim Holtz Deckle Cutter
The Deckle Torn Edge Trimmer adds a whole new dimension to your crafting!
It is designed to give your card edges a distressed look and is perfect for creating both clean and inked effect to layers. It is both sturdy and easy to use with dual measuring guides at the top and bottom, a grid base and a soft grip handle.
The deckle effect is slightly different at the top and bottom so you can use either for a different finished result.

This is how the deckle edge varies along the length of the trimmer.
To make the first card, you will need the following:

I have cut the following layers (straight at the top and bottom and deckle edged at the sides) - White – 7cm x 14cm , Cherry Red – 8cm x 14cm, Avocado Green – 9cm x 14cm
I layered them together and glued them to the card front.
Then I used the long foliage die from the Mason Jar set to cut 3 Avocado Green branches and 2 Pistachio Green branches and glued these as a bunch to the card front.
I stamped the sentiment onto white card, cut with the trimmer and attached above the foliage with 3D foam pads. Lastly, I added a twine bow and Red Berries Crystal drops.
