If you're not familiar with these awesome tools you're going to want to hop with us and see what you've been missing out on! You can now say goodbye to buying personal paper cutters and wasting your paper and cardstock to wonky cuts! First Perfect Papers Layers tools blew our minds with how easy it is it to cut perfect sized mats time and time again without the need to measure and now we've got the new Minis which are the perfect travel companion too! It's now easier than ever to take your favourite tools to a crop or a friends house to create!
Perfect Paper Crafting also has a cutting mat too. It's a nice workable size that works perfectly with the original Paper Layers and the Minis! Have I said the word "perfect" enough yet, LOL! Check out my project to see just how PERFECT these tools really are ;0) Click the picture below to visit my Ambassador page and use my special coupon code Leigh5% to get 5% off your entire order!
NEW Mini Perfect Layers tools and Cutting Mat |
My project today is also my Smeared Ink design team project for this week! I've created a bound loose page "Intellectual Musings" Journal and I hope you like it :0)
showing the front and back of the covers and pages |
please click to enlarge - sorry about the size! |
I then adhered the cover panels to DCWV Heirloom Stack decorative paper and cut 5/8" borders and did the same to all the pages. I punched each corner with the Marvy punch again before adhering them all to black cardstock and cut 1/16" borders. I punched a 1/16" hole with a punch into the cover and added a tiny brass Bead Landing Found Objects ruler charm with a tiny black brad before adhering the cover back to back with the first page. All the remaining pages and back cover where adhered back to back to form the loose journal pages.
