Fussy Cutting is your Friend!

-
  I know a lot of you hate to fussy cut.   I wasn’t always a fan.  However, when I do it, I am so happy with the results, makes it all worth it.    I fussy cut a whole sheet of Cocoa Vanilla paper, and used an older photo of my niece, and I just love how it turned out.   Fussy Cutting is worth it❤️


  Without all that time and love, this gorgeousness would never be... 



Start small, a butterfly, or a single flower.  Some papers were made to Fussy Cut. 🤷🏼‍♀️

  Thank you all so much for following along with us today!   So far you should have been too the CutCardstock Blog, Niki, and came from Teri!  At the bottom of my post will be the links for the next blog on your journey!      So for this blog hop I decided to step out of my comfort zone of Scrapbook pages and wall decor and try my hand at a card!  I do enjoy sending cards with my “Melly Art” pieces and I also love to send cards to friends and family to cheer them.  I’m going to briefly show you what I did and a few steps on how I did it!   Here is what I came up with.  One of my favorite stamp sets and embossing folder, with some distress oxide, coloring, sequins, and nuvo.  Card making isn’t my greatest creative outlet, but I was happy with this one.  I must have been channeling my inner “Card Ninja” Sister ❤️ Starting with Cougar White, and Neenah white cardstock, square dies, my favorite fall stamps, and my fall colors of di...

 Good Morning!   I am so excited to be designing for A Cut Above blog!   My first project this year are Nestled Die Cut Albums.  One with a Hexagon and one with a Circle and used some snowflake dies as well.  These were super easy to create.   I used 5 from each shape, the hexagon is lazy days with my puppies and the Circle and snowflakes is my nieces first snow!   I did not include her photos as she is only a few months old. But this turned out so super cute. I hope you enjoy them as much as I enjoyed making them.                                                                                                    ...
