Daisy Border, Corner "Punch" and Daisy Frame

Here is a Daisy Border and corner "punch" that you can use to make any borders or even Frames. I created the 4x6 frame to show how this can be done. If you need a smaller border, use a cutting shape and change this from 6 or 4 to 2, 3, or 5 daisies. Add two of the 6 daisy borders together to create a 12 inch border. The possibilities are endless. To create the frames just use the copy, mirror, flip and weld functions in MTC.
Enjoy!!

Update.....

Hi all,
been away a little bit doing the vacation thing. We went to Myrtle Beach for the last week of May and had a blast. But then of course once vacation is over you sorta have to make up for it at work because that weeks work doesn't stop.

So I haven't had a chance to post for a little bit.....BUT......

 I will be very shortly as Make the Cut has now come out with another update. It is still in the Beta version...but Andy has really out done himself with this newest version. Take a peek at what he has done: HERE-Make The Cut!

NOTE: This new update is still in the Beta Test version, so if you haven't downloaded the prior version or the trial do that first and play with that. Experienced users are trying out the new Beta update to work out any "kinks" before Andy actually releases it to everyone.

I am so ready to play with this new version and will be sharing some more info (maybe even some new tutorials) very soon.

Check back for some more free files that I will be adding soon.

CyberCrop Weekend

This has been a busy weekend of crafting. Over at the MTC forum, I participated in their first ever CyberCrop weekend. There were 10 Challenges and 9 Bonus Challenges. You had to do a separate project for each challenge. I was only able to get 7 out of the 10 Challenges completed. Hey but that is more crafting in a weekend than I think I have ever done. LOL!!!

See below for my projects.

Challenge #1 - Color Challenge. Use only the colors Purple and Turquoise (white/black could be used for any journaling).


Challenge #2 - Create a title in MTC with a graphic attached to the words.


Challenge #3 - Create a project using vinyl.


I did not get to Challenges #4 & #5.

Challenge #6 - Paper Piecing. Create a paper piecing piece using MTC.
(note: This is the little lamb from the Strawberry Shortcake series I shared.)


Challenge #7 - Create a project using an animal theme.


Challenge #8 - Use three flowers on your project.
(Made this Get Well Card)


I did not get to Challenge #9.

Challenge #10 - Use metal or embossing.
(I used my cuttlebug and nestability embossing dies
for this birthday card.)


Well, that was my first ever online crop and it was a lot of fun. I am looking forward to participating in many more. Want to join in on some of the fun, join us over at the Make the Cut forum.

Tip on working with Layers and small pieces

TIP: When working with files with lots of small pieces for layers.....after you have cut the section of the file that has lots of little pieces that look alike, leave the pieces on the mat.


Take the pieces off one at a time and glue them at that moment onto the background piece or where they are to be placed.


This way it makes it easier to place them exactly where they go and you don't have a lot of loose, little pieces all over your work area to try to remember later which piece goes where.


Hope this tip helped.
