Clever Cuts!


This card doesn't need much explaining, as they say in the adverts, it's exactly what it says on the wrapper lol!
I was rather chuffed though as I was going to mat my image onto the red Xcut panel, wasn't too sure about it but came up with the idea of using my blade to cut a line across the fancy corners of the die cut, almost to the edge,
 then fitted perfectly as if held in place by photo corners. 
I'm so going to use this technique again! 


I'm using this card for the following challenges:-
AI 43, Paper piercing,
CMC21, Spots or stripes,
CWLC43, 3+ layers,
MIM142, Anything goes,
CWWC45, Die cuts,
HCC7, Flowers.

A Star Prefect.


The usual last minute request came on Monday asking for a card for the leaving form prefect from my daughter's class. 
Thought I'd have a go at making a rosette, so simple even without one of the fancy dies. I just used my scalloped Xcut punch and my trusty fiskars trimmer with the scorer instead of the blade.,I just cut myself  two 8"x 2"  strips of paper then used the punch along one edge of each strip, scoring in the centre and dip of cuts, made a concertina fold and glued together to form the rosette, simples :) I used lots of 
"thank you" stamps along with a "good luck" to form the background paper. The image stamps are Woodware"


I'm using this card for the following challenges:-
CC, Fancy fold,
Jellypark, Geek,
WnW104, Anything goes,
ATSM46, Anything goes,
WI59, Anything goes,
LEJ54, Punches,
OBGB, Song,(School's out for summer) old Woodware stamps,
DDC63, 3D 
MIM141, Anything goes.
