What's New at Cre8ive Cutz — Cards

I love using Make the Cut! to design and cut greeting cards, it makes the whole process so simple. In my last post, I showed you a Valentine card that had a heart shape cut from a paper strip. In this video tutorial, I show you how to create that effect in Make the Cut! But before I show you the video, here's another card I made using the same technique. You'll notice I added a little background border to this card as well (which isn't shown in the video but is created using the exact same technique.  I think...

Have you started making your Valentine's cards yet? Here's my first one (I don't have too many to make, usually just one for hubby and one for my daughter).
