The other day I received a parcel of goodies from Fiskars Head Office (soooo exciting !!). Anyway, I received :
(click on the links to see individual images and descriptions of these products)
I have been DESPERATE for some flourish and bracket shape templates for ages, and finally my prayers were answered ~ thanks FISKARS ! I was SO excited about these awesome new tools that I immediately set to work and created this 8x8 layout :
The used my Ultra ShapeXpress and new templates to cut the brackets and flourish, and my new border punch to create the punched strip on the left hand side of the photo. I hand cut around the punched hearts using my MicroTip scissors to create a scalloped edge.
I made the flowers by punching through several layers of tissue paper; layered different colours together, and then fastened them with a rhinestone brad. The alphas and white heart in the bottom right hand corner are by Heidi Grace.
I KNOW you are all going to be desperate to get your hands on these new goodies, but they are currently only available in Australia/New Zealand by order through wholesalers. We will be sure to let you know when they become available in-store for you to purchase.

Beautiful layout Cindy - your new tools look like they will be very handy, especially the flourish template. Love what you have done with the heart border - the scallops finish it off perfectly (maybe even a design suggestion for Fiskars to consider........)

Very excited about the new shape templates. Flourishes are my favorite thing and beiong able to cut them easily will make my day. It was fun chatting while you made this Cin. Another reason I love to scrap.
