TODAY IS TUESDAY & IT’S TIME FOR SOME TIPS AND TECHNIQUES

Today I want to share a slimline card with fussy cutting as my techniques card.

A slimline card is one that is longer and slimmer than a standard card. My slimline cards are 8 1/2″ x 3 1/2″ (8 1/2″ x 7″ folded in half).

The other technique I used for this card was gool old fussy cutting.

TIP: For fussy cutting, I cut images in an anticlockwise manner, keeping the scissors close to the outer edge of the image. The more you fussy cut, the faster and more accurate you will become.

As you can see I fussy cut five of the characters from the Just Kiddin’ Designer Series Paper.

Each of these characters were adhered directly to the front of the DSP layer on the card base.

I added some Adhesive Sheet to the back of a couple of pieces of Petunia Pop cardstock and used the Mini Alphabet Dies to cut the letters for the external and internal messages.

I used the Hooray for Surprises Stamp Set to stamp the birthday cake and greeting on the card insert. I used Crushed Curry, Misty Moonlight and Petunia Pop inks.

Tomorrow I have another fun card to share with you.

Until then, happy stamping.

If you live in Australia, you can order any of the products I used to make this card by going to my online store. Just click on any of the images below.
