Here is what the cutting mat and mini tools look like.
 |
| Note that one side is in inches, the other side is metric. Look at all of the great information on each side, too! |
I still love my full size tools, but I REALLY love these mini tools! They travel beautifully to crops, or girl's day in crafting sessions, and I feel that I personally have more control with the smaller size. The mat is amazing - makes for a perfect cut every time.
 | ||||||||||||
| If you look closely, you will see that there are edges on each side with different widths. The first ruler has 3/16" and 5/16" on the front side, and 1/2" and 1/16" on the other side. The second ruler has 5/8" and 1/8" on one side, and 1/4 and 1/4" on the other side. Now.....here is what I made using the Perfect Cutting Mat and the Mini Tools:
|
 |
| Used a Sherry Baldi 'Besties' image for this one, and an Amuse Studio sentiment. Love the way it turned out! Note the 1/16" black border behind the pink panel, and the 1/8" border behind the center strip. |
 |
| For this card, I used several size mats. The image, sentiment, and sunburst paper are from Amuse Studio. I followed the sketch below, and will be entering this card in the Sketch Saturday challenge. |

Happy Hopping!

Loved all of your cards. The teenage girl caught my eye first. With 2 teenage granddaughters I could see them looking like that. Those years are great fun.
Great cards - really interested in how easy you make it look with the tools.

Oooo . . . these are both so pretty! Love the cheery paper you used; it makes me feel like spring might really finally arrive. : )
Cute! And you finally did the Sketch Saturday Challenge, yeah!
First, your tutorial with the rulers is fantastic. I just got mine and it great to see I am doing something right. LOL I bought them for the very thing you demoed. For the thin borders!!! Your Bestie image is adorable and those borders are perfect for her. It's amazing how much better they are thin. Your second card reminds me of a pretty Spring quilt and again the borders really were perfect for each layer!!
Wow! The possibilities for the mini tools is endless!
What lovely cards and the layering done with the tool really makes such a difference to the finish of the card.
That is a fab tool! Love your pretty cards.
I love, love, love your cards! The colors, the images, everything. Wish I could put things together like that!
Cute cards!!! I now have to say that I've ordered a third set of perfect layers. I have my original set, a new set and now the mini. Thanks for enabling me!!!!!
Adorable! I particularly love the birds in the nest. Thanks!
Ooh, how cute is that? Aren't these wonderful?
