#loveitchopit#

Hi everyone, 

I have been in a ‘chop it’ mood lately.  Some time go I watched Kylie Bertucci’s video.  #loveitchopit# is a  different concept of cutting designer series paper that with enable me to use on the cards.  Whilst Kylie has templates for each size cut, I use my own sizes.  Kylie’s concept is really great.   ‘Whilst I keeping buying these lovely new sheets of Designer Series Paper, I haven’t used them. It is about running out of them, I think. Anyway I have started’.  This previous quote was from the first time I blogged about Kylie and her concept for designer series paper. 

I am still chopping these beautiful papers.  I have realised that they can be beautiful cards too where lots of people can appreciate them, and know that they are thought about and loved in some small way. 

When I receive 12” x 12” designer paper I cut into 6” x 4” card tops. These are placed in ziplock bags with the matching cardstock written on a sheet.  I find that if I cut them into 6” x 6” sheets, eventually they will be cut further into a 4” x 6” and 2” x 6” and the narrow strip is a difficult size to use. 

Pintrest shares many different suggestions.  As I became more experienced, I felt more confident trying different sets. I am sure that will happen to you, if you give yourself the chance. 

Here is another combination of cards. 

My card tops are 3 7/8” x 5 5/8”.

I commenced this but collecting three different tops that go together .  I marked Left bottom - mark 3/4”, and Right side - 1 1/2”.  I grab the top and and just cut in half. These measurements do not have to be exact.  It is about just cutting a top in three pieces.  After the cutting you take the top right piece and place it under the last one.  This changes the top layer and they are all different.  Or you could spread them out and place 3 lots together to create each top. 

Have you used Stampin Up products before. One of the reasons that I became a demonstrator/hobbyist was because I love the colour combos.  Stampin Up provides cardstock, ribbon, stamp pad, and matching designer series paper and sometimes matching glitz to enhance the cards.  If you are a bit pedantic with colour combinations Stampin Up is your friend. They certainly have my vote.

If you like this blog, and like learning a little about our family traditions or our lives while I inform you about the makings of the cards or quilts that I make, can you indicate by following me, (on the right hand side). Blogging is something new and I am still trying to get a handle on it.
