I would not have thought to bend, nor to use colour to make it look more realistic, nor did I think fussy cutting was an art in itself, but wow, what a difference! Well done, Lucy!
I loved reading your comments Iris, I’m so happy this video gave you new ideas xox
Lucy pretty to explain these cards is an understatement, These cards are absolutely stunning! This video is amazing and so very helpful have watched/listened to it on loop nearly all day just in case I missed something. I have to go have a chuppa chub now just to get the loli pop stick for a new crafting tool lol, thank you so much for sharing, Lucy have a great crafty day
It’s nice to know I’m not the only one who doesn’t “love” the white border. Most of the time on videos it’s the big elephant in the room that stands out like a sore thumb and no one dares mention it. Your tips on inking and shaping really are transformative!
Thank you so much, and yes, I agree sometimes it can ruin the look of a card. XOX
I agree 💯 percent no white border 😊😮😊
I find that a cotton bud with the buds removed are good for shaping flowers and leaves..
Oh yes, that’s a great “moulding stick” option Xox
I’m terrible at fussy cutting but with these tips I’ll try again. I dislike the white borders when I purchase ephemera. Thank you!
So many good tips!! And the inking and curling on those leaves is amazing!!
Glad you like them!
I love to cut with scissors! Fuzzy cut is something I love doing!! Funny that!
I love it too! Xox
I feel like the lion in “The Wizard of Oz” getting the courage to forge ahead and not give up on fussy cutting. 😂😂😂 Your tips are a great help.
Oh you made me laugh out loud, that's so funny!! I even told my hubby about your comment hehe, thank you for the giggles 😂😂❤
Your cards are definitely works of art! Such beautiful pieces. Thsnk you for the inspiration.
Thank you so much, that's such a lovely thing to say! XOX
I am watching from London Ontario I am redesigning my craft room so I can't get to my tools and paper. I am a fussy cutter. My friend hands hers and says you like fussy cutting so you do it. I am thoroughly enjoying your video
Your card is beautiful! The inking after fussy cutting makes such a difference. Thanks Lucy for giving us these wonderful tips 😊
Excellent tutorial, Lucy! I have been making cards for over 20 years long before die cutting was around so fussy cutting was the only way to pop up images for dimension. The trend at that time was to leave a white edge around it. I recently found myself fussy cutting some patterned paper and found it enjoyable.and relaxing. Actually, it's not a bad idea to fussy cut after you have used the die cutter if there is too much white edge. I really appreciate the tips on using the craft knife as I could never really get the hang of it: sometimes it worked, sometimes I ripped the paper to shreds. I totally agree that the cards are lovely. Your sister will just love hers.
Thank you, I'm so glad you got some tips out of the video XOX
I'm new to this particular art form, and I knew right away that fussy cutting was going to be a challenge. So glad I happened up on your video with so many tips and tricks.
I’m so happy to hear you found this video helpful Darlene, thank you so much for watching 🥰♥️♥️
I really enjoy fussy cutting myself, I find. It relaxing.. I do it when I am sisitting in the evening rather than when in my craft room.😊😊x
Yes, me too, I love cutting while watching TV, it's a relaxing combination isn't it 😀❤❤
Thanks Lucy! Such a useful video, I love the use of the ink on the leaves, it really brings the image alive. I find fussy cutting quite mindful, I have a very busy head & find it hard to calm my mind but fussy cutting works a treat! I’m having my morning coffee (in the UK) and fussy cutting at my kitchen table while listening to you ❤ xx
Hi Elaine, I’m so happy to hear you enjoyed this video. I totally agree about the fussy cutting, I find it very relaxing for my mind too. I love to listen to something and just sit and cut away. Have a fabulous Easter Xox
I am a fussy cutter, but I find it tedious. Adding some of the special touches to the finished product adds to the sense of reward and accomplishment. I practiced the art of scherenschnitte 30 years ago. You are correct that fingers get cramped after awhile. I find that I use some of your techniques. Today I make mini albums and greeting cards. I will apply some (most) of your techniques because I love the end product. Thank you! Your cards are lovely, very special and worthy of framing.
Thank you for this great message, I'm happy to hear you'll apply these techniques 😊❤❤
Thanks for the tips. I’ve fussy cut lots of flowers so now I know how I can ink them and make them look better! You make lovely arrangements.
Thank you so much and I'm so happy to hear the tips were useful 😀
Amazing cards Lucy, you are amazing.❤
I consider myself a pretty decent fussy cutter and I do actually enjoy doing it! But, I learned several new things from this video. I was amazed at the difference a little ink on the edges and the use of a popsicle stick to shape the leaves made! I also never did finish cutting with a craft knife, not my strong suit, but going to give it a try. Some of those tiny area’s are impossible to cut with a scissors! Thanks so much!
I’m so happy to hear you learned something from this video, thank you so much for letting me know Xox
Absolutely gorgeous. Great tutorial on fussy cutting.
Thank you so much!
Dear Lucy. I have just come across your video., Being fairly new to You Tube. Our country 's Post Office have almost all closed down , so there is no income to come in for cards. So I have taken all my stash (Gosh, I never realized I had so much.🙄) So I have been making use of my stash for a year now. I got. Some lovely ideas from you, not to mention tips. Thanks so much.
Hi Lucy, I get such joy watching other card making crafters, and seeing their techniques and style. Your cards are absolutely beautiful, and I am amazed at the lengths you go to fussy cut all the white even from the foliage. Well done you! I fussy cut only when I have to, and I use the Cutter Bee scissors as they are small, and they are sharp and a very pointy tip. So happy that you have found a pair of fussy cutting scissors that suit you, and they look so much better than the first two.
I didn't know that Uniquely Creative are Australian... that is so good to see, and it is always nice purchasing local if possible.
It is so nice to have found your YT channel, and I am looking forward to seeing your earlier videos.
God's blessings and love from Aussie Gloria 🐨🦘💖
Hi Gloria! I’m so glad you found my channel too 😁. Yes isn’t it great that Uniquely Creative are an Aussie company and sooo good, I’m so proud to be on their design team as they have the best paper collections. Enjoy your Sunday evening Xox
Hi Lucy your cards are so beautiful and I love to watch your tutorals, you are so talented , Margaret Irvine,x
Thanks so much Margaret, that's so lovely of you to say 😊
I am a "crazy" fussy cutter, I fussy cut when I watch TV, when I babysit, went I'm in bed...it's addictive! I wonder who was the dumb bunny was who thought diecuts should have a border around them, especially flowers and leaves. I've never seen a leaf with a border around it !
Lucy your cards are beautiful, if my flower cards are raised up with foam and I want to post it I add a piece of bubble wrap on top of the card when placing it in the envelope. Thank you for your great ideas.
I'm so happy to hear I'm not the only "crazy fussy cutter" hehe!! I'm like you, I enjoy cutting while watching TV, it's a great combination! Oh thank you for that great tip about adding bubble wrap on top of the card, I love that idea! XOX
Super fussy cutting tips and I love how you arrange things 😊
Hi Lucy,
OHHH MYYYY GOODNESSSS😱😱 MY LUVE....you just leave me totally gobsmacked and so speechless😶😶...... when you make your cards.....they are sooo much like WORKS OF ART.....!!!!!.....that they should be framed an put into an Art Galley soo everyone can stand and just absorb your amazing talent........I actually make a card for a friend getting married it was with a rustic look and I remembered how you done your leaves and flowers with the lolly pop stick....OMG Lucy it looked so much better then how I used to just stick them down🤣🤣...THX YA 🙏🙏🙏my LUVE.....Hugs🤗🤗🤗and Kisses 😘😘😘from Aussie Land NSW🦋🦋🦋🦉🦉🦉
You know how to put a big smile on my face, thank you so much for this sweet message! I'm so happy you tried the lollipop stick bending technique with your flowers and leaves and loved it, don't they look so good this way? I bet your friend will love her wedding card. Hugs right back 🥰🥰XOX
So so pretty. I get so frustrated with fussy cutting.You make them look so easy xxxxxxx 14:54
Absolutely stunning cards and some good tips for fussy cutting!
Thank you so much! 🤗❤❤
Thank you for showing the fussy cutting. I will certainly try this and keep trying until I get a good result. I love the way it looks in the end. Doing this work for a special card would be worth the time. You are certainly good at this. Thank you so much for showing and sharing. I certainly liked the second choice. Beautiful cards.
Thanks for letting me know your thoughts on this video. I love your attitude towards it, as the more fussy cutting you do the better (and easier) it becomes. Happy crafting XOX
Great tips, Lucy. I agree that having the correct scissors makes all the difference. Lovely cards too.
Wow Lucy this was an amazing tutorial and an eye opener for me. I have been making cards for a good many years but have never wanted to fussy cut anything - I would avoid it like "the plague". But a few weeks ago, I bought the Sweet Magnolia collection to make an album for my granddaughter as well as some cards but still baulked at the fussy cutting element page. Now after watching this video I can't wait to give it a go. The way you made those 2 beautiful cards with such "life" to them was amazing and I hope I can get as good a result as you did. Thanks Lucy
That's so exciting to hear you're excited to try the fussy cutting of the Sweet Magnolia paper now, I love that! I hope you enjoy it, the more you practice the easier and more fun it becomes XOX
These cards are amazing! I’m going to get a sheet of floral paper and cut it up today just to have in my stash. Beautiful!
Have fun and thank you for the compliments, I’m so glad you liked the cards 🥰♥️♥️
Totally awesome! What an amazing talent you have! Thanks again for sharing your creative talent. Blessings from Canada!😍🤩💞
Thank you so much, what lovely things to write! 🤗❤❤
I Love fussy cutting and struggle with half to design with them. This video helps me be inspired to just do it! Thank you for sharing your crafting with us!
Thank you so much for your sweet comments 🤗❤❤
what a gorgeous card.
HI Lucy, thank you for this excellent tutorial. I learned lots. 🇨🇦
That’s great to hear, thank you ☺️ ♥️♥️
These are so stunning my daughter and I were really inspired
Thanks so much Donna, that’s lovely 😊
JULIE COZENS
Love those cards, so pretty. Great fussy cutting tips. Thank you.😊
You are so welcome! 🤗
Lucy, yes,i am a fussy cutter but i don't bend the flowers or the leaves . I enjoy watching everyone who has been sharing their card making ! HAPPY NEW YEAR TO YOU AND YOUR FAMILY !
Thanks Cheryl, Happy New Year to you and your family too XOX
I enjoyed watching you fussy cut. I’ve never fussy cut bc I can’t cut a straight line. 😅I’ll try using your tips. Beautiful card!
I can't cut in a straight line either hehe! I hope the tips in the video help. Enjoy! XOX
I like to fussy cut too! You have given me tips to get better at this! Also the bending makes a big difference. I will use this with some ephemera I have as well. Thank you!
You are so welcome!🤗
Love these tips Lucy! I have neuropathy so fussy cutting is the bane of my card accessories! I’m persevering though! I also am not a fan of white edges on purchased ephemera. I’ve used tombow to darken the cut edges but I will use more of my distress inks! I love how realistic it makes the object! Also the curling. I’ve started doing that and I agree it makes a big difference. Thank you so much for these and other tips. As a fairly new card maker these tips will help me grow. Love your channel🩷, thank you.
Thank you so much, I’m so happy to hear this video has given you helpful ideas about fussy cutting 🥰🤗♥️♥️
These are very beautiful cards Lucy, your sister will love hers, Happy Birthday to her 🎶 Thank you for the tips, I'm doing more fussy cutting these days and now I know how to make it look even better, as you say it gives us so many more options with our beautiful papers. As always I find watching you create very inspiring 🌼 Bonnie
Thanks for always being so sweet Bonnie 🤗🌼🌸

Wow, what a difference ink blending the edges and bending around a stick does.

Thanks Cindy XOX
Gorgeous thank you. I didn’t think I needed new scissors until I watched this.. I definitely get that tiny tear at the junction when I’m fussy cutting. Love the shaping and the inking, really brings them alive 😊
Thanks so much Linda and yes, the scissors I use don’t give that tear at the junction, they give a beautiful sharp clean cut 😁♥️♥️
thankyou for this inspirational video, it will help me on my own cardmaking and youtube journey 😍
I’m so happy to hear this 😊♥️♥️♥️
Thanks Lucy :) I am back from a trip to Africa and am now catching up with RUclips. My friend told me you had done this specially for me! Not exactly, but thank you anyway. It's a great video for me to keep as a reference. By the way my friend has got hooked too!
Hi Lorna! I did try to reply to your friend via email but it kept being rejected for some unknown reason. I hope you had a lovely holiday, Africa would have been amazing I'm sure! You definitely inspired that video, did you hear I mentioned you in it, I hope I answered all your questions on fussy cutting 😀. Have a great day 🤗❤❤
@lucypatrick yes I did hear you mention me. My friend just laughed when she heard it Knew it had to be me as I am always mentioning your videos. I saw her today and she had a bunch of flowers she was cutting out. She is hooked lol Thanks again for your inspiration
@@lornaholliday54 I love that, you guys are too sweet! Thank you 😊❤❤
Beautiful cards Lucy. Thank you for your video I have learnt so much and ready to try it out for a card for my sister !
Wonderful! I’m sure your sister will love the card you make Xox
Oh they are such pretty cards. I made two this morning and thought of how you put things together... thank you for stretching my ideas! Love the tips.
I love that you thought of how I put things together when making your cards this morning Loretta, thank you for letting me know! XOX
Beautiful. Thanks for the inspiration!
You are so welcome! 🤗
Another useful item to curl edges is a Capri Sun straw (cleaned and dried, of course); just a tip for all you moms and grandmas out there! The white border is appropriate for certain looks, but the full fussy cut to the borders of the picture looks so much more authentic. Thanks for an informative video!
Thanks for the tip, I've not heard of a Capri Sun straw 😊
@@lucypatrick It's a line of drinks in little pouches for kids. They come with a disposable straw with a pointed end to puncture the pouch and sip the drink. The straws are pretty much the same size as a lollipop stick.
@@rivahcat8247 Oh yes, I know the type you mean, that's a perfect way to recycle them and get a new free craft tool! Thanks for the info, I will share this on a video next time I use my stick 😀
This is sooo helpful!!!!❤
I'm so happy to hear this video was helpful 😊❤❤
Beautiful cards and great tutorial on fussy cutting. Your tip for inking sounds sensational.
Thanks so much!
You are an amazing card maker Lucy. I will certainly be trying more fussy cutting as some of the papers are beautiful. I also need to try using my knife more after watching you. I am very keen to see more of your videos. Thank you for putting them up for us to see.
Thank you so much for your compliments Val, I'm so happy this video has inspired you to fussy cut some papers, I love that! XOX
