Cut It Up Mother's Day Challenge

Mom's day is a little over a week away.

Do you have a special card fof your Mom?

If not, than maybe we can get you motivated with our challenge for this week.

Our challenge this week is Mother's Day, share a project for Mom and don't forget the die cut!

The sponsor for this weeks challenge is Lawn Fawn and you have a chance to win $25 to their store.

I made a pretty shaped card with tulips for my creation. This card would be a nice card for almost any occasion. It is a cut file from the Silhouette Design store by Lori Whitlock.

The sentiment is also a cut file from the Silhouette store and I cut it out of vinyl.

I know I've said this before, but vinyl cuts small lettering beautifully and applies to your cardstock very easily.

Supplies Used: cardstock - vanilla, green, 2 shades of pink; matte vinyl in 2 shades of pink; cut files from Silhouette Studio; enamel dot from Echo Park.

I can't wait to see your creation so pop on over to the Cut It Up blog and join us in the fun!

Die Cuttin' Divas 3 - 2 - 1 Challenge

Wow, I thought spring had arrived in my neck of the woods, but no, we are back to snow :(

I am so ready for sunshine and flowers!

It's Tuesday and it is time for a new challenge. I hope this challenge sparks some ideas in your head and you decide to play along with us.

Our challenge over at Die Cuttin' Divas this week is 3 - 2 - 1. Which means: 3 pattern papers, 2 embellishments, and 1 ribbon/bow

.

For my card I grabbed a stamp and die set from Stampin' Up for my little birdie.

I used a scalloped rectangle die from Papertrey Ink and a stitched circle die from Lawn Fawn.

My inspiration came from a card I had seen on Pinterest.

My two embellishments are sequins and enamel heart stickers.

I made my bow with some white twine.

Supplies used: card stock - green, grey; patterned papers by Recollections; stamps from Stampin' Up and Lawn Fawn; Dies from Stampin' Up, Papertrey Ink and Lawn Fawn; heart enamel stickers from Pebbles; sequins; twine; Versamark; white embossing powder; Pop Dots.

Die Cuttin' Divas Sketch Challenge

I hope everyone enjoyed their Easter weekend!

I really enjoyed my weekend at my parents home. I cooked, or should I say BBQ'd. Instead of traditional Easter ham we had bbq'd pork loins that had been marinated in a balsamic vinegar and fresh rosemary sauce. I also made potato salad and baked beans and my sister brought a fruit salad.
To top it off I made a lemon supreme pie for dessert. It was different than what we usually do, but everyone decided it might be our new tradition.

Since it is Tuesday, we are on to a new challenge

Our challenge over at Die Cuttin' Divas this week is a sketch challenge.

.

I used my Cricut machine to create a pretty daisy bouquet for a Mother's Day card.

A Sizzix nesting oval die cut out my "frame" for the bouquet. Some twine and pearls for embellishments.

Supplies used: card stock - white, 2 shades of green, 3 shades of yellow;  patterned paper by Recollections; pearls by Kaisercraft; twine; stamp from Michaels.

The small sentiments cut so perfectly in the vinyl and are so easy to attach to the cards. No glue involved :)
