What’s All the Fuss About?
What is the ultimate classical technique for paper crafters? Fussy cutting! It may even be that scissors were invented just for this. Anything can be an embellishment as long as your scissors can reach it, and there is no more economical way to add elements to your designs. With fussy cutting, you can add mementos to your layouts, cut a notch into beautiful, patterned paper to tuck your photo behind, crop images from pictures, and add layer after gorgeous layer. All it takes is a pair of scissors, the memory of your first-grade teacher guiding you through good cutting techniques, and perhaps a little patience, and you’ve got yourself instant elements for all your projects.
