Frugal Tips
  • Don't forget, make use of the unused space inside the Kiwi Kiss card layer.  Cut out some elements with your punches.
  • When cutting 12" x 12" paper, instead of cutting a piece 3 3/4" wide
    • First cut it at 4" inches
    • Cut of the length you need (Example for this card, I would have cut a piece to 4" x 3 1/4")
    • Trim the piece so it measures 3 1/4" x 3 3/4"
    • The remaining strip of paper is now at a width more commonly used is 4"  Instead of cutting the 12 x 12 at 3 3/4" your leftover piece is a commonly used width.
    • Clear as mud?  Hopefully this picture illustrates this better.
