Let's start at the very beginning - Day 10

I know it is easy to use a ruler and pencil to mark your cutting lines and then to cut everything out with scissors. How much easier would it be to use a good quality cutter.

I would like to suggest you invest in a Stampin' Up! trimmer. It is the cutting and scoring tool made with crafters in mind! Cut anywhere, in any direction. Full 12" cut or score. You can also keep the scoring and cutting blades on the track at the same time. I love this as it makes scoring the card so quick and easy. It also has a compartment under the base to store blades, scoring stylus, etc! The cost of the Stampin' Trimmer is only $50.00, a very good investment.

Yesterday I showed you how to punch out and raise up the flower. Lets not stop there, instead of stamping on the base card, especially if it is coloured. Stamp the sentiment and cut the ends to form a banner, then raise up with dimensionals.
