Carve a design into Soft-Kut Printing Block to create your own jigsaw print! It's easy to make fun prints with Soft-Kut blocks! This project also has an instructional video available!

Steps

• Step 1
  With a permanent marker, draw a design on to a 4x6" Soft-Kut Printing Block. Consider that your design will be cut into different sections, each printed with a different color of ink.
• Step 2
  Use an X-Acto Knife to cut the design into the different color sections of the print.
• Step 3
  Using the Linozips, carve out the design from the Soft-Kut block.
• Step 4
  In separate mixing trays, roll out different colors of ink. In this example, there are three.
• Step 5
  Ink each section a different color. Before the ink dries, put the pieces together, inked sides up.
• Step 6
  Using a rubbing stick or baren, print your design onto a piece of construction paper.
• Step 7
  The color of the paper becomes the fourth color in your print; in this example it is the fish body.
• Optional Tip 1
  Make a stamp print by printing the parts separately.
