CIU Challenge 328 Stars with “C”

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

My start with a C card features cats!
I did a small bit of paper piecing to create a nice backdrop. Looks a bit like a starry night sky.


I used this card as inspiration for the layout. I just tuned it on it's side.


Card size: 5 x 7
Supplies
  • Design Paper by AVEC (Marble)
  • Die from Tutti Designs (Kitty Window)
  • Stash: Bling
Thanks for stopping and remember to stop by the challenge to check out all the DT projects and play along!

CIU Challenge 327, Anything but a Card

A new Cut it Up Challenge has started. I'm a day late getting it posted but 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

This challenge we are asking you to share your die cut creation that is NOT a card.

For my project I am using a die I’ve had for a while and finally pulled out to use making a couple of super cute trees that sit on top of a tealight. The die set itself does not come with a die to cut a strip around the votives so I had to figure that out myself!


 Supplies
  • Die from Sizzix (Tree Lights)
  • Metallic Cardstock from Bazzill
  • Tealights from the Dollar Tree
