Cut it Up Challenge; Anything goes

Good morning,

Today I am sharing a card for the Cut it Up Challenge #311. You can find the challenge HERE.

For these challenges, a die-cut is anything made with a manual or an electronic die-cutting machine. (Spellbinders, Cricut, MFT dies, Silhouette, etc.). Store bought die-cuts are also acceptable. Please note that handheld punches and/or paper-piecing’s DO NOT count as a die-cut.

Our prompt this new challenge is “Anything Goes”.

I tend to make cards without greetings on the front so I can use them for most occasions. I will add a sentiment as needed or just place it inside instead. This allows me to have more control over the types of cards I have, otherwise I wind up with many cards for one occasion and it can take a long time to use them.

5 x 7 card supplies

• Cardstock from The Papers Studio
• Design Paper from FSC.org, Wildflower
• Die from Kokorosa, Gift Ribbon
• Die from Unknown, Layered Flowers
• Stash: Rhinestone

Thanks for stopping by and make sure you check out the challenge and play along!

Best Day Ever, Easy cards

Good morning,

Sharing some cards I made using the “Stack, Slice, Shuffle” method. This is a great way to get a series of cards on short notice or you just want something quick and easy.

I usually use this process when teaching someone new to card making because it can be easily adjusted not mater the card size you are making.

 
Supplies, three 5 x 7 cards

• Card stock from The Paper Studio (base) and Stampin Up!
• Design Paper from Heidi Swapp, Sugar Chic
• Die from Fun Stampers Journey, Spring Blooms
• Ink from Tsukineko
• Sentiment from Scraps of Love, Stitches of Love

Thanks for stopping by!
