Simply Saturday, I love lace…

I love lace and lace cardstock is no exception. When I purchase it, I make sure that I use every little scrap as it is not cheap paper that is for sure. When I first found out that my new Silhouette Digital Craft Cutter would cut out lace cardstock…I was beyond thrilled. Of course, I purchased some files right away and had to try it out. Now I can create my own lace paper in any color or pattern I wish. How cool is that? Look at the precision cutting. It looks just like the real thing. Here’s a couple simple projects to share with you today.

Let’s Party Lace Card design

I just couldn’t bear to cover up more of this simple card highlighting the pretty paper. I cut out some Black Magic Coredinations paper using a floral  backgroud template (Flowers Multi Square). I just love the texture and I carefully sanded away the edges to reveal the light purple inner core.

Quick Tip: You can design your own lace in Photoshop or simply purchase a downloadable template from QuicKutz for these projects.

Clean and Modern Frame

My daughter went crazy over this beautiful white cardstock I cut out with the Squares Open Square download. To play up on the crisp retro look, I kept the design super simple. It’s adhered to some cardstock to match her room and then I added a simple flower and rhinestone embellishment to finish it off. She’s thrilled.

These projects were part of a review I wrote for Craft Critique on the QuicKutz Silhouette.
