Presents Galore - the joys of fussy cutting!

All of these cards (3) were made from the same 12 x 12 sheet of specialty paper. It's from Kaisercraft and was made up of all these random presents in the 3 colours. They are all glossy too. I cut them all out and then arranged them by colour group. I quite like the results!

1. Stampin' Up (SU) cardstock in whisper white and bashful blue. Tim Holtz word die. Cuttlebug 'morrocan screen' embossing folder. On further reflection I think I will add a tiny scallop border in red to the bottom of the word banner. Seeing it again, it looks a little unfinished to me now.

2. SU cardstock in basic black and whisper white. Kaisercraft 'north pole' spotty paper. Tim Holtz word die. Quikutz 'polka dot' embossing folder.

3. SU cardstock in whisper white, pistachio pudding and real red. SU stamp (retired) in real red. Kaisercraft 'north pole' spotty paper. Sizzix 'nordic sweater' embossing folder.

So, there you have it. All those hours spent cutting out paper dolls clothes as a child are being put to good use as an adult! Granted this fussy cutting did not require much skill - but those childhood hours gave me an enduring love of cutting things out - the trickier the better!


On a Personal Note -

My daughter and her boyfriend made it safely back from their road trip to Queensland - and they had a good time. Phew!!

Our football team got totally owned - Boo Hoo!! Hopefully they will do better this week.

It's been a bit warmer but another icy front is due to roll through on Saturday so back to wearing all my clothes at once. LOL.

Panther has been glued to the faux fur throw all week - his new favourite spot (until he inexplicably, suddenly has a new favourite spot!). Schnitzel was very glad when my daughter got back. He doesn't like it when any of his 'pack' is absent! His favourite type of maths is when one person goes out and two come back! He is a party animal! - loves nothing better than visitors - except the mailman! Total cliche, but he has taken a wholly unfounded dislike to the poor mailman.

Happy Crafting!
Cheers
