This week the design team was sponsored by ShortCuts. Launched in June 2008, the sister site to SheetLoad of Cards, is dedicated to making your papercrafting quicker and easier. Everybody likes a short cut every now and then!The first ShortCuts product, available for purchase since July 1, 2008, was Gift Card Holder Folders (GCFH).
The latest ShortCuts product, Clear & Frosted Card Blanks, will help you to make fabulous clear and frosted cards. Each of the stocks is made of a thick vinyl material. Think clear/frosted cardstock- none of that flimsy transparency material. Best of all, the clear cards are fingerprint resistant. No more wearing white gloves while making your cards. You can also purchase the Clear & Frosted material in Full Sheets (8.5" x 11").
Their ready-to-assemble-and-decorate products will help you create stunning creations in minutes. Make sure you drop by their blog for lots of inspiration from their design team.
One lucky winner will receive a $15 ShortCuts Gift Certificate!

"My name is Tracey Taylor and it is my privilege and honour to join the Card Patterns team this week. It wasn't until recently that I decided to really try my hand at card making. I have been playing along every chance I can and have surprised myself at how much I enjoy creating cards. Sites like this one are fantastic resources and inspiration for all of us. So thanks to all of you allowing me to join you this week!"
And here's Tracey's gorgeous take on the sketch! I just adore those punched-out circles.
