Joined a new Design Team ...

Good morning,

Well today I was supposed to be a Guest DT for the Cut it Up Challenge located HERE but instead I joined the Design Team as a full-fledged member! I’m really excited about this opportunity because it will have me using my many craft dies more often. YAY!

So onto the challenge … 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 theme this challenge is Clean and Simple so I made a sweet Birthday card for a Great Aunt.


Supplies for 5 x 7 card
  • Cardstock from The Paper Studio (base) and Stampin Up!
  • Design paper from my scrap bin
  • Dies: Fluttering by from Crafters Companions and Happy Birthday from Unknown
  • Glimmer paper from Neenah
  • Pearls from Stampin Up!
Thanks for stopping by and make sure you check out the challenge and play along!
(Hugs) Cara
