...Introducing USA 1776 Cut files


Good morning folks. I have a fairly CAS card for you this morning. I wanted to highlight some of the Cut Files which are in the bundle that matches the USA 1776 Stamp set releasing tomorrow.

One of the most interesting is the cut file of the Statue of Liberty. There is a cut file which is designed to be slightly larger than the statue stamp image, this one is for stamping on, but the one I used above in my card is a cut file which is based on the stamp image itself.

This more detailed cut file gives a super silhouette of the Lady Liberty herself and may be used as a stand alone design feature. Also included in the bundle is a New York skyline cut file, inspired by Anya's card here.

I mounted the Liberty cut shape on foam pads and then the sentiment on foam pads on top of that, gives a nice dimension to the card I think. Hope it tickles.

I'm itching to see what else the ladies have cooked up for our sets this month - why don't you join me:
