CIU Challenge 340 – More than one die cut

A new Cut it Up Challenge has started. 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 DOES NOT count as a die-cut

I am behind getting this posted. I am in the process of buying a home – it’ moving a lot faster than I thought it would but the offer has been made, and fingers crossed they accept!

This challenge is about using more than one die cut.

The oval background is the negative cut from a card I made earlier. I was so happy for this to not go to waste!

I love the skeleton leaves from Sizzix, and the design paper is one whose pattern I’m not fond of. However, I love the colors, and it works perfect with this die set! I got these beautiful multicolored leaves.

Card size: A2

• Cardstock from The Paper Studio (base) & Stampin Up!
• Design paper from The Paper Studio
• Dies from Sizzix (Skeleton Leaves) & Lawn Fawn (Everyday Banners)

The Outlawz Color Challenge: All about Fall!

Good evening!

The September 2025 Color Challenge has started at The Outlawz Challenges. You can check it out HERE.

This month it is all things Fall! I love Fall. The weather starts cooling and what plants we have here that actually change color will start that process soon.

My card for this challenge is on the simple side. I have this amazing design paper covered with pumpkins. I don’t know where I got it or who the manufacturer is, but I only have some scraps and one whole 12 x 12 sheet left, and I am really trying hard not to hoard it!

I’m thinking I might make some Holiday wall décor with it. In the meantime, I had enough left on a scrap that I could cover a 5x7 base with it.

Supplies (5 x 7)

• Cardstock from The Paper Studio (Base)
• Design paper, Unknown (insert sad face here)
• Ink is Versafine Clair (Tsukineko)
• Sentiment from Unity Stamps (Harvesting Thanks)

Truth be told, the focal point is from another card I made years ago and just never used because I was never really happy with it. I tore it apart and put the image away to be used another time. Promptly forgetting about it until I as going through some stuff and found it. 

I thought it would be perfect for this masculine challenge so I added a bit of white accents to the swim tube and then popped it up on foam for dimension. 

I think the sentiments are perfect and I like this card so much better!

I like having a few get-well cards on hand so this is my somewhat clean and simple So Sorry contribution!

The smaller feather is a bit thicker because I stacked several layers of heavy cardstock underneath the design paper to give it some dimension off the page.

Pro tip! If you like the colors but not the design of your papers, they are amazing to use for die cuts like this feather.

I cut it out the rainbow in white and then I colored it with ProMarkers. I used one of my go-to stencils from Stampin Up! For making the cloud background.

Supplies (5 x 7)

• Cardstock from The Paper Studio (base) and Stampin Up!
• Die from Sizzix (Rainbow Magic)
• Glimmer cardstock (for the clouds) from my scrap box
• Ink from Tsukineko (Versafine Clair)
• ProMarkers
• Sentiment from Unity Grab Bag
• Sequins from Stash
• Stencil from Stampin up! Cloud, Moon & Stars
