Cut it Up Challenge #223 ~ How's the Weather

Hi Crafty Friends,
Time for a new Cut it UP challenge.Our challenge is all about the weather.  Let's see clouds, umbrellas, sun, raindrops - anything spring-weather related.  
Our sponsor for this challenge is DRS Designs who will provide a $20 voucher to our challenge winner and also provided the digital images used by the design team.
Here's my card:

I colored with Copic Markers and used the Gemini Jr. to cut the die cut images.

I hope you'll play along with us.  Just post your project to the link above.

Be sure to follow the theme and use a die cut.

Jaded Blossom ~ Summer Fun

 Hi Crafty Friends,

It's my day to post over on the Jaded Blossom Blog.

As I shared in a previous post, some crafting friends and I challenged one another to make cards using an entire 6 x 6 paper pad.

I chose Echo Park's I Love Summer.  After looking through all the pattern papers I realized that I had the perfect Jaded Blossom Dies to help me complete this challenge.

Here are 5 of the individual cards I created.  I made a total of 11 but some of my fellow crafters made upwards of 25!  I used entire sheets for mats so my papers didn't go as far.  This was a fun challenge and I encourage you to try it.  You can find some adorable 6 x 6 pads in the Jaded Blossom store.

I used these Jaded Blossom Die sets:

Card Mat Dies

Sunburst Card Mat Die

Stitched Rectangles 2

Tropical Dies

Tropical Dies 2

Spring Dies 2

Thanks for looking.

Jaded Blossom April Challenge ~ Use a Stencil

Hi Crafty Friends,
There's a new challenge on the Jaded Blossom Blog.We're using STENCILS!  I love that JB has now added an amazing line of stencils to their product line.They are perfect for creating your own custom backgrounds.
I've used the Coffee Bean Stencil and Coffee Stain Stencil to create this birthday card for my coffee loving daughter.

I used Distress Inks for the ink blending and Copic Markers to color the gnome.  The sentiment is heat embossed so it would pop a little.  I also added twine and Doodlebug Designs glitter sprinkles.

I hope you'll play along with this month's Challenge.  Remember to use a Jaded Blossom product to be eligible for the stamp of your choice prize.

Use it All!

Hi Crafty Friends,
Some of gals on the Cut it Up Challenge Blog challenged one another to use an entire 6 x 6 paper pad to see how many cards we could make.  We all agreed that we have boxes full of these fun little tablets that really need to be used.
So, I used Echo Park's I Love Summer 6 x 6 pad.  I discovered just what a paper-waster I am!  EEEEK!  I guess it's because most of the time I create as I go and if I've cut something and it doesn't work for my "vision", I toss it and go at it again.
I made 11 A2 cards (far fewer than my fellow design team pals but for me it was pretty amazing.)
Here they are:

The entire set - I think they would all be good for summer-themed notecards.

Vertical orientation cards

Horizontal orientation cards

I used a lot of my Jaded Blossom dies and a few LaLa Land Crafts (sandcastle and words.)

I also used a few of my OLD punches :)

Can you believe it?  No stamping and no coloring!!!!

Here are the sets made by my fellow DT members.

We hope you'll give this a try.  It was a fun challenge and now we all have a pretty good stash!

Pearly Sparkles April Challenge #61 ~ Animals/Birds and/or Insects

Hi Crafty Friends,
Wowzers!  It's April 1st and, no fooling, it's time for a new challenge atPearly Sparkles.  Our April theme is ANIMALS, BIRDS, and/or INSECTS ~ a good one for spring, right?
I'm still in the Easter treat making mode so here's my candy bar slider project.

How cute is this "bunny butt?"  The design was inspired by Irina of LaLa Land Crafts who designed this fabulous Build a Bunny die cut set.  The candy bar slider file and scalloped rectangle is from Jaded Blossom.  I use this slider file for so many treat gifts!  I used Neenah Desert Storm for the treat holder and  Authentique for the mat.  Such a quick and easy project.
I hope you'll join us for this month's challenge.  We love seeing all of your fantastic ideas.
