Pearly Sparkles April 2023 Challenge ~ Creatures Great and Small

Hi Crafty Friends,
Happy April!  Our new challenge at Pearly Sparkles is perfect for all you critter lovers.Just add a critter (of any kind) to your project and join in our challenge.
I love the amazing variety of critters offered by Whimsy Stamps and chose these adorable pandas to create this card.  The slimline die and the OMG dies are also from Whimsy.

I used my Gemini Jr. to cut all the dies (there are outline dies with the panda stamps) and colored using Copic Markers.
I hope you'll play along with us this month.

Cut it Up Challenge #274 ~ Add Embellishments

Hi Crafty Friends,
It's time for another Cut it Up Challenge. Our challenge is to ADD EMBELLISHMENTS.
I love using enamel dots, sequins, ribbon, Nuvo Drops or Stickles on my projects.Recently I've been using some of the new Spellbinders flower die sets.  They have lots of little pieces but when put together they are really pretty.For this card I used the Sealed Wildflowers set.

I created the background by blending 3 Distress Ink Oxides and adding a spritz of water.

Rather than using colored cardstock for the flowers and leaves, I cut them all out of Hammermill Cover Copy 80# white cardstock and then colored them using Copic Markers.  The flower centers are Diamond Dots.  I also added some clear acrylic dots and a bow.  I'm so happy with the way it turned out.

There will be a mystery prize package with this challenge!!!

Just leave a comment on the Cut It Up Blog.  You don't have to enter a project to be eligible but you do have to have USA mailing address.  If you are adding an entry, be sure you also comment.

Thanks for stopping by.  I hope you'll visit the CIU blog and also play along with us.

Last Minute Manda Clipart ~ Page Layouts

Hi Crafty Friends,
I'm sharing 2 page layouts for an 8x8 scrapbook using clipart files fromLast Minute Manda.
I've chosen images from the Baby Edward set.  I printed the files and then cut them using a Scan N Cut.

I haven't done page layouts in forever so this was a lot of fun.  Using clipart makes quick work of designing.  You can find the entire Baby Edward set HERE.

If you'd like more ideas using Last Minute Manda clipart or digital images, visit our FaceBook page HERE.
