CIU #260 - So Proud of You

 

Wow, where does the time, it's not that I haven't been creating but sharing on my blog seem to have fallen behind.  Today I am sharing my design team project for the Cut it Up challenge blog.  The theme for challenge #260 is So Proud of You and the sponsor is The Cutting Cafe.

Using the SVG card file from our sponsor I cut the card and layers using my Silhouette Cameo.  I used random sheets of papers from my stash, some Prma flowers and a micron pen for some faux stitching and this card was done!  I struggled with getting a good picture, it is cloudy outside not sure if you can see the sentiment - on a job well done!

Now that you've seen my project I hope you will head over to the Cut it Up challenge blog for more design team inspiration, create and share your So Proud of You project using a die.  The challenge starts today and ends Wednesday, September 21, 2022 at 12 noon EST.

Thank you for your visit, have a wonderful weekend!

CIU #245 - Love/Valentine's Day

 

Hello and happy Friday, another sunny day in today's forecast.  Today's card share is my latest design team project for the Cut it Up challenge blog.  The theme for challenge #245 is Love/Valentine's Day and our sponsor is the The Cutting Cafe.

Using files provided by our sponsor I created a slimline shaker card and I tell you it is packed with shaker bits!  The pattern paper is from an old Martha Stewart Essentials 12x12 paper pad, the sequin mix was created from sequins in my stash, added a bow that I created with some twine from the Dollar Tree and a heart gem from Love Nicole.  I wish I could say this card came together quite quickly but there were a few tries before I settled one.

Now that you've seen my card, I hope you will head over to the Cut it Up challenge blog for more design team inspiration.  Create and share  your Love/Valentine themed project for a chance to win three sets of digital files from The Cutting Cafe.  The challenge starts today and ends Wednesday, February 23 at noon EST.

Thank  you for your visit, stay safe, enjoy your weekend and hurry back!

CIU #227 - Shaped or Fun Fold Card

 

Hello Friday, today’s project share is my latest design team project for the Cut it Up challenge blog.  The theme for challenge #227 is to create a shaped or fun fold card and the sponsor is The Cutting Cafe.

This card was indeed a struggle as I have too much going on and I didn’t plan appropriately.  I used the mason jar card file and stem from our sponsor, mostly scraps of paper,  some acetate and a sunflower stamp and die.  I have mixed feeling about the outcome so I'm not sure what I'll do with the card or if I will redo it!  I am also sharing this card for the Anything Goes challenge # 142 over at Cardz TV.

Head on over to the Cut it Up challenge blog for more inspiration, create and share a shaped or fun fold card for a chance to win some digital files from The Cutting Cafe.  The challenge starts today and ends Wednesday, June 16 at noon EST.

Thank you for your visit, have a wonderful weekend.

Hello and happy Friday, more cold temps in the forecast.  I am back today to share my latest design team project for the Cut it Up challenge blog.  Celebrating Fall is the theme for challenge #187 and our sponsor is The Cutting Cafe.

Today's project share is another one where I struggled as I really wanted to do something different.  The jar of apples and sentiment is ffrom The Cutting Cafe, the wood grain paper and twine came from my stash;  I colored the apples with my color pencils, made the sentiment into a tag and added some wink of stellar to the top(not really visible in the picture).

Cut it Up #169 - Hello Spring

Hello and happy Friday more cool temps and a forecast for afternoon showers in our area.  Today I am sharing my latest design team project for the Cut it Up challenge blog.  The theme for challenge #169 is Hello Spring and our sponsor is The Cutting Cafe.

I put my card together using the tulips from the tulip shaped card set, if you get the set it comes with shaped cards too but I decided to use my own base.  If you are familiar with The Cutting Cafe you know that most of the files includes layers and card sentiments. I used paper scraps  from my stash, pattern papers are from the MS Essentials Holiday 12x12 paper pad, and I finished the card off by adding a Recollections ladybug sticker. 

Now that you've seen my card I hope you'll visit the Cut it Up challenge blog for more inspiration and decide to create and  share a Spring project using a die cut for a chance to win some cutting files from The Cutting Cafe.  The challenge starts today and ends Wednesday, March 20, 2019 at noon EST

Cut it Up #152 - Under the Sea

Hello and happy Friday, it's the weekend what's on your calendar?  I have several things on my schedule for Saturday, just need to figure out how I can fit everything in!

Today I'm sharing my design team project for the the Under the Sea challenge over at Cut it Up and our sponsor for this challenge is The Cutting Cafe.  I must say this challenge took me a little out of my comfort zone but I think I weathered it okay.  The fish and sentiment are files from The Cutting Cafe, colored the fish using a Art-C waterbrush that I picked up from HL on clearance,  fuzzy cut them and added them to the card with some dimensional tape. The remaining elements of the card came from  the Animal Antics Cricut cartridge.

I hope you'll visit the Cut it Up challenge blog, see what the other design team members created and share your own Under the Sea project for an opportunity to win some crafty goodness from The Cutting Cafe.  The challenge starts today and ends at noon (EST) on Wednesday, July 25, 2018.

Thank you for your visit, hope you'll come back again soon.  Wishing you and yours a wonderful weekend.
