Many thank's to Cindy Adkins for adding me to your Featured Blogs list, it is a real honor!
I am really excited to share a new set of tools with you today, Perfect Layers . I saw this at Paper Craft Planet and went wild for it and I knew I had to have it. I go crazy trying to get my card stock layers centered, I hate crooked edges, they really catch my eye and ruin the whole effect. What really turned me on to this fantastic set of tools was the fact that it not only would allow you to cut straight but that you could also glue it together straight! I can't tell you how many times I have picked up a piece and tried to move it around so it is centered before the glue dries! With these tools I can glue my piece directly to the next layer and depending on how big I want the border I can trim away the excess with an Exacto knife and have it seated perfectly on to the next layer. No need to eyeball it and try to center it in. The Perfect Layers Rulers are clear so you can see through them. Each side of the ruler has a little lip or an edge on it, each lip is a different measurement, 1/16, 3/16, 5/16" 1/8", 1/4", 3/8", 5/8", 3/4" and 1". When you want to layer something it takes all the measuring and frustration about even edges edges right out of the process. The other thing I love is how I can save paper while using these rulers. I cut my border pieces from the middle of the 5x7 sheet and then hide the space behind the layers so I get 2 borders out of 1 sheet, I took some pics below to show you what I mean. Watch the video and you will want one too!
You can use this link to view a video and purchase your set of Perfect Layers. Use the promo code Bove5% and you will save 5% on the rulers and get flat rate priority shipping. Once I saw this video I was sold, so much so that I contacted the company to see if I could offer a discount to my friends!
