What To Put Those Gift Flies In

I'm tyin up a few crystal meths for the husband for Christmas and will put them in a home made gift box.

 

Here is a box and some of the papers I marbled using the shaving cream method.

Those are nice. My wife used to sell Stampin Up, so I know what the shaving cream method is.

 

I'm assuming you have one of those card cutters (Paper trimmer). Have you ever tried using it to cut thin skin, etc.? It the only way I can get a nice straight cut when I want supper thin strips.

I don't have one of those, but there must be a dozen cutting implements in my craft junk.

 

This project just took a kitchen shears. That made going around the curves and inside angles easier for me. The watercolor paper is a little too stout for teensy embroidery or fly tying scissors. Besides, my fly tying stuff is kinda sacred. I don't use those tools on anything but fur, feathers or foam.
