Magical Thin Cuts

Have you seen the new range of Thin Cuts in the CTMH Annual Inspirations Catalogue?  They are not linked to a stamp set and are super versatile for pages and cards.  Today I'm showcasing how good the Stars and Celebrate Thin Cuts look in Glitter paper.  I'm using up the last of my Magical papers.  This collection retires at the end of August.

I love to take a themed stamp set and turn it into something different so I had a really good look at all the gorgeous small stamps in this set.  Here's what I came up with as I played one night.SOTM 0816 - Page 002   I can see so many possibilities using these small stamps as accents and borders on your pages.  He…
