Laser Cut vs Fussy Cut!

One of the reasons that there are so many beautiful dies in Stampin' Up's product line is to eliminate the need to fussy cut. Fussy cut? Yes, you know ~ cutting carefully all the details of an image with sharp little scissors or SNIPS. I understand that some of you are actually allergic to fussy cutting. Therefore, dies. And, laser-cut paper. We do have 12" x 12" Shimmer Detailed Laser-cut Paper on page 169 and featured on this blog on March 9 and 10 by MELISSA BURROUGH'S CARDS.

So what other possibilities are there for having some fabulous cards to send without taking the time and effort to fussy cut? On page 91 in the catalog you will find a tin of cards that includes 12 laser-cut cards and 12 envelopes ~ Bird Ballad Laser-Cut Cards & Tin. The tin itself is very pretty and the cards are basic with beautiful laser designs ~ we would never go to that extent for great cards ~ Stampin' Up! has made it easy!

I added a piece of cardstock inside the basic laser cut card from the tin. The cardstock is Roccoco Rose from the 2019-2021 In Color Collection. It is cut 4 1/4" x 5 1/2" and fits exactly inside the card. I glued the laser cut design to the cardstock using the Fine-Tip Glue Pen on page 183 in the catalog. I used the Silicone Craft Sheet (on the same page) under the card to prevent glue from sticking where it wasn't wanted! The small embellishment in the center is from the In Color Faceted Dots package. The tin with the cards & envelopes is $18 for 12 cards and the tin! Ummmm! And, this makes a great (and easy) gift!
