Now for my project:

I created these cards for a virtual crop this past Saturday.  I was demonstrating using Kiwi Lane templates, here is the video.  It is about half an hour long, one of my first attempts be gentle with me if you watch.  For the following cards I am illustrating how you can use the positive and negative cuts from the Kiwi Lane templates.  

I am also showing how to pick out exactly the spot you want to use, for instance on this card, I wanted the dip in the cut to come in right between the two deer.

I didn't think I would use the negative of the scallop, but I did!  It makes the other paper look like it is the scallop. Two cards for the effort!

Ingredients:

My Mind's Eye Lost and Found Christmas paper and embellishments

Kiwi Lane templates:  Bracket 1T , Mini Scallop 1B, Mini Madison Ave 2B

black card stock and tiny Spellbinders labels 32
