Kathy Jo here doing my first post on Quietfire Digital. Let me start with some honesty as a newbie to the digital cutting world: I was apprehensive. I love die cutting and I was not sure if I would like digital cutting. Would my creations look "flat"? Would projects look elementary? But mostly, would I be able to learn how to use my machine? Well, my reservations were for naught. It is quite enjoyable, adaptable (I can re-size files to fit my project!), easy to learn, easy to purchase new files and it is inexpensive to buy new files. The digital cutting results are wonderful. Why didn't I pursue this sooner?!
My project is a combination of the lovely Treble Clef Blank Card digital file and the beautiful Without Music stamp.
(Mind you, I created this card as a newbie so I probably did some steps that could have been completed by the machine and not by me. However inefficient I may have been in the creation of the card, I think the final card results are very pretty...and I enjoyed making it!)
- Cut Treble Clef card using black card stock. Cut front to desired size. Round corners. Apply gold marker along edges.
- Create top fold card using black card stock. Round corners.
- Cut and mat patterned paper to card base.
- Mount black clef background (from Step 1) to card front.
- Use black archival ink to stamp quote onto patterned paper. Cut to size and round corners. Apply gold marker to edges. Mount to card front using double side foam tape.
- Optional: Apply Nuvo Crystal Drops (or similar) to flower centers.
- Decorate inside of card as desired.
Isn't it just gorgeous? The Treble Clef Blank Card digital file and the Without Music stamp are a perfect combination!
You know what? I am totally digging digital cutting. :)
Thank you for stopping by!
Have a happy, crafty day!
Big Hugs,
