Cut it Up Challenge #343 ~ Favorite Color

Hi Crafty Friends,

Here's a fun Cut it Up challenge for you.  Use your favorite color.
I'm still in the Christmas card mode, but it was fun using non-traditional colors.


For the background, I used the debossed side of a Spellbinders 3D folder. The ornament and branch is from Jaded Blossom's Build an Ornament die set and the silver frame was made using Taylored Expressions A2 Layer Stacklets  The patterned paper is Doodlebug Polar Pals and the sentiment is from a Spellbinders foil plate/die  Christmas sentiment set.

I hope you'll play along.
Don't forget, Cut it Up also has a DESIGN TEAM call for next year's challenges.


Build Your Stash Holiday Cardmakers November ~ Sketch 63

Hi Crafty Friends,

Here's my second card for the BYSHcardmakers sketch #63 challenge.


I think this amazing DSP from Lala Land Crafts (Christmas Traditions) is the perfect backdrop for this foiled tree from Gina K Designs (Shimmering Christmas/polyglaze shaeet)

You can find inspiration on our blog linked above and on our Facebook page where you'll also upload your entry.

Here's the sketch to guide you.

Moving Along with the Times November Challenge ~ Winter Wonderland

Hi Crafty Friends,

Moving Along with the Times challenge blog has released its November theme, Winter Wonderland.

I took an online card class from SCT and was introduced to LDRS cardmaking kits.
I used papers from the Wildwood Cardmaking kit for this project.


I also added branches from Sizzix and a Gina K Designs sentiment made using thermal foil and her Shimmering Christmas Polyglaze sentiments.  I ink splattered the design paper before adding the die cuts and sentiment.  LDRS also has rub on "splatters" if splattering isn't your thing!

I hope you'll join our challenge this month.
