A Cut Above - "START OFF WITH A BANG!"

There is a new challenge started by one of my team members. We are encouraged to use die cuts on our projects. Also the first challenge is to start off with a bang and used the RED, WHITE, and Blue colors usually associated with the 4th of July. 

But we are encouraged to go wherever your mojo takes you. 

That is what I did with this card. 

I wanted to use the Spellbinders, Winter Bird House die and do it in red, white and blue (navy)

But when I got it done, it is really more or a winter card than 4th of July. 

I am going to show you when I mean. 

This card does have shine and sparkle as I used glossy accents on the berries and acorns. 

Other supplies are:

Embossing folder from Anna Griffin called Cherry Blossoms

Spellbinder die Winter Bird House

My Favorite Things A Tweet Hello

Navy cardstock for the base and roof

Just another way to sue these colors as I don't send out 4th of July cards.

Can you Handle the Pressure?

Because I love Poppies, and decided to make a card with them, I am entering this card in the current

Can you Handle the pressure with an option of Poppies

Quickly, here is my card. 

For this card I used the embossing folder from Pink and Main called Plaid. After embossing on white card stock, I sponged black ink over the raised parts. Then added my stamped and die cut poppies from My Favorite Things called Flowe3rs in Bloom. The Hello die cut is also MFT. 

You can find the challenge HERE

This time the option is Poppies!

Seize the Birthday - Creatures great and Small

New Challenge for the next two weeks at Seize the Birthday 

The toppings for this challenge is Creatures Great and Small 

But if you are not a toppings kind of person, Just make it a birthday card and that will work too! 

Here is my card for your inspiration. 

Just a fun card using a selfie of dogs.  They are a stamp and die from My Favorite Things called Four-Legged Friends.  The sentiment is from Technique Tuesday Sunflower and the Let's Party is from a stamp ( Crafter's Companion) given to me by Nancy.  I used my rectangle die with a square die to make the photo image and place the dogs inside.
