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.

Cut it Up Challenge #317 ~ Favorite Color(s)

Hi Crafty Friends,

Our theme for Cut it Up Challenge #317 is FAVORITE COLOR(S).

I really gravitate towards a green/purple color combination.  I never got to wear purple/lavender when I was young since my mom really disliked that color.  I remember my first independent act as a young adult was to purchase a completely purple ensemble - suit, scarf, shoes, handbag.  I was such a rebel - LOL!

Here's my card using the "A Friend Like You Bouquet" Betterpress plate and Copic Markers.

 I added a butterfly from Pinkfresh Studio's Fluttering Butterfly die/washi tape collection.  I also used Jaded Blossom's Rectangle dies to give the mat a little more dimension.

I hope you'll play along with us HERE.

Cut it Up Challenge #288 ~ Favorite Color(s)

Hi Crafty Friends,
We have a new challenge posting on the Cut it Up Challenge Blog.Our theme is Favorite Color(s).
I love purples - all shades.  But, if you add a touch of green, I'm in heaven!!
My bestie gifted me some new dies so I used the florals from the Crafter's Companion Mailbox Flowers die set.  I also used the envelope from a Pinkfresh Studio Connect and Create exclusive set, and the postage stamp dies from LaLa Land Crafts.

I die cut the florals using 110# Neenah Solar Crest and then colored them using Copic Markers.I learned a trick for adding lots of die cuts onto the project.  After I placed the pieces where I wanted them, I used Press and Seal to pick up grouping.  I turned it over to apply adhesive and then placed it back onto my project.  I only had to add a little more adhesive to front flower.  
I hope you'll play along with us and share a project using your favorite color(s).Just follow the link above.
