Online Card Class: A Cut Above Part 1

This winter I took three Online Card Classes, but because they were not current classes I was no longer able to post to the galleries.  A Cut Above Part 1 used die cutting on standard machines such as my Big Shot while Part 2 used a Silhouette. The videos and projects on both were excellent. Here are a few of the cards I made for Part 1.

Stampin' Up Flower Patch stamp and coordinating die sets

partial cutting of the butterfly using Sizzix Framelits & Stamps: Butterflies #3

layered cutting using Nestibilities

The white embossed square and the four circles were cut with Spellbinders Nestibilities
while the polka dot embossed flowers were cut out using a punch.
