Did you know I am Brand Ambassador Perfect Paper Crafting?
Yep, I am! They have some really cool tools for paper crafting addicts like us and today I joining the other Brand Ambassadors for a blog hop to show off what we have created using their latest and created tools!
Introducing the Perfect Layers Mini and the Perfect Cutting Mat!
The Perfect Layer's Mini is a MUST if you want to create perfect borders, frames and layered effects. Using the Perfect Layers Mini, you can cut from 1/16 of an inch (very thin borders), up to 5/8 of an inch (bold borders), WITH NO MEASURING REQUIRED!!
The Perfect Cutting Mat is an 8x10" Durable, self healing double sided cutting mat with printed grid lines (one side in cm and one side in inches), including card template sizes.
Now let me show you a couple of projects I created using these tools:
This card features the MFT Doodle Garden Far Out stamp set. Notice those PERFECT LAYERS?! Easy peasy and NO MEASURING! I stamped my image in Momento tuxedo black ink and colored her with copics.
I blotted her jeans with a kitchen towel that was moistened with some colorless blender to add the appearance of texture to her jeans. I used a white gel pen to add the polka dots and some orange Peel Stickles to the center of the flower in her hair.
Here is the inside of the card. Again, I used the Mini Perfect Layers and the Perfect Cutting Mat to create those perfect layers!
Copics List

Next up is a card featuring a stamp from SugarPea Desigs, a new clear stamp company with adorable and whimsical stamps! SugarPea Designs is sponsoring this blog hop and the owner, Wendy Ramlakhan, is also a Perfect Paper Crafting Brand Ambassador!
This adorable stamp set is called Rice Rice Baby! I am entering this card into the Sweet Sunday Sketch Challenge #213 which was PERFECT for showcasing what you can do the the Mini Perfect Layers and Perfect Cutting Mat! I stamped the natural CS with the MFT Wood Plank Background stamp and used the MFT Die-namics circle STAX to cut out the circular window behind the image. I popped the wood plank panel up with foam dimensionals. I used a die from the MFT Blueprints 3 for the sentiment panel.
