Krafty Tips and Tutes: Fussy Cutting

Hi! 

Krafty Girl Elisabete here and today I’m showing you how I fussy cut my images.  

I used one of the images being released later this week so you are getting a special little preview. 

I have a little video for you. 

My two favorite tools are the Cutter Bee scissors from EK Success and the Fiskars fingertip knife.

https://youtu.be/t941NvS4MK4

Here is the finished cut image:

I hope I inspired you to try to fussy cut your next stamped image!
Thanks for watching!! 

Hugs Elisabete

Krafty girl Deborah here with a new challenge for you: CAS cards, yes Clean And Simple cards!
Did you ever had that moment when you need a card for someone and you didn't have much time to make one? Just make a quick and easy card. And they are perfect if you want to make more of the same cards. 
For this card I've used the sentiment and the butterflies of the new stampset Butterfly Dreams.  The 3 biggest white dots are from the set Buds & Blooms. I made a combination with vellum, white and kraft cardstock. I lost most of time when I was cutting the butterflies out but I did both of the cards in only 1 hour.
