Hi Crafty Friends,It's time for a new Cut it Up Challenge.

Here's my card using some wonderful products from Pinkfresh Studio.

I've used Twist Patterns press plate and die which I foiled, Stitched Basket Weave cover plate, Peony Fantasy stamp, die, stencil set and the sentiment is from the Cozy Blooms set.

I hope you'll play along with us.

BYSH Spring into Christmas Linky Party

Hi Crafty Friends,
It's time for our first BYSH Linky Party of 2025.

If you haven't started your Christmas stash this is a great time to begin.

Upload as many projects as you wish for a chance to win some wonderful prizes from our fabulous sponsors.  Your holiday cards can be uploaded HERE.

Here's my first project.

I've foiled the Betterpress Society's Winter Sprigs Tree pressplate.  Then I used the stencils to add color and cut it out with the matching die.  The sentiment was pressed onto Betterpress paper and cut out with the matching die.  For a little added dimension, I offset the tree and added it to a mat that was embossed using Altenew's Organic Linen 3D embossing folder.

Our Linky party will be open from May 2-9.

I hope you'll join us for this great event.

Cut it Up Challenge #295 ~ A New Year

Hi Crafty Friends,
Hard to believe that my second year as owner of Cut it Up Challenges has begun.For this challenge we're celebrating A New Year.The challenge is to use a NEW crafty tool, technique, idea, etc.
Hubby gave me money for Christmas so I bought the Glimmer Hot Foil system.
Here's my first attempt at hot foiling.

This foil plate came with the system.  The sentiment was made using the Betterpress system.  I love the gold foil and white combination so I was pleased with how this turned out.  I did the cutting and scoring using my new We R Memory Keepers All - in - One Tool.  I could have also used the tool to make the matching envelope but this is a standard A2 card so I have ready-made ones.
You can add your NEW project to the CIU blog.Something new this year at CIU:  we will be sharing our TOP CUTS (DT's faves from all of the entries) on our Cut it Up Facebook page HERE.
You'll also want to visit the blog to welcome our four new designers.
Happy New Year!
