Paper Flourishes

Here it is ladies! The tool that I have been having fun with is made by Made Easy Incorporated® and is called the Create-a-cut™. I am literally bouncin' up and down with the little paper flourishes I have been creating. Look at these delicious little embellishments I have created in the last short while just slicing, dicing, punching and scoring. Have you been ogling the Doodlebug Paper Frills™? I certainly have and this is why I am over the top excited about this cutter!!!

ETA: Many of you have asked where you can purchase one of these cutters. Please follow this link to find purchasing information.

Below are a few samples I created using the cutter. The possibilities are ENDLESS!!!  I find that this is so much more incredible than the frills only because I have a limitless variety of paper on which I can work my magic – WOOHOO!

In this sample I used the Scallop blade together with the Classic blade. First I edged the Memory Box Key Lime card front, so that it would contrast with the white interior. I then cut and scored the polka dot Memory Box Christmas Brights funky polka dot. Next I cut the strip of red using the Classic blade on both sides, mounting it on white cardstock, piercing it and adding the sparkly green KI Memories brads. What a funky little strip indeed.

Next – do you see what I’m trying to convey with the group of cupcakes stamp? Juanita deserves a huge round of applause for pushing me over the edge on this one. Do you see the tree shape? I figured if I colored the cupcakes all green and added some little “star lights” with the star on top it would turn into a Christmas tree. What do you think?

To make this pocket I once again used the Scallop blade. I guess I really like that one – LOL! I actually really like them all and so I find it hilarious that all my samples that I put together today focus on this blade. First I cut the top edge of the pocket fold, turning it down and punching the holes with my crop-a-dile. The crop-a-dile works fantastic for getting these holes pretty even. This is when the Memory Box two-sided cardstock is fantastic – look at that awesome color contrast! Then I scored the front of the fold with the Scor-It and sewed between the two lines. I also cut the lower white strip with the Scallop blade, but just sewed it to the card front after attaching my patterned KI Memories paper.

The sentiment is one of my fav A Muse stamps – it reads Sweet…Holiday Wishes. I think it is the perfect accompaniment to these sweet treat holiday cards. The tiny twinkle stars are A Muse Creative Candy and the large star is by KI Memories. The paper clip and ribbon are also KI Memories. I love their new holiday grouping and I just had to have the little “test tubes” that are filled with the most fantastic little bellies Ü

My review and detailed pictures of the cutter, along with a ton of information should be next! Hang in there – it’s on it’s way Ü
