Cut It Up Just In C.A.S.E. Challenge

If you don't know what C.A.S.E. means, here is an explanation from the CAS (Clean And Simple) blog:

CASE – Stands for “Copy and Share Everything.” The best inspiration for cardmaking comes from admiring other people's cards. Sometimes also called “scraplifting.”

I will admit that I peruse Pinterest and do a lot of "scraplifting". It's fun to draw inspiration from someone else, but put your own twist on it.

Our challenge is "Just In C.A.S.E." CASE a project, share a link to the project you're CASEing.

Don't forget the die cut!

Our sponsor is My Scrap Chick and you have a chance to win a $20 certificate to their store.

Our sponsor was so generous and allowed each of the design team members to pick a file from their store that we'd like to work with. Thank You!

I saw these cute cards on (you'll never guess) Pinterest!

The blog is Welcome ZÜ Le Blog

I used the cut file Batty 4 You from The Scrap Chick to create my version.

Here is a pic of him with his wings folded closed and his eyes are peeking out.

Here is a pic of his wings open.

Supplies Used: card stock - white, black, light pink; patterned paper by Authentique; cut file from My Scrap Chick.

Die Cuttin' Divas Food Challenge

This time of year our thoughts tend to drift to food.

Between Halloween candy, the Thanksgiving feast and Christmas cookies, how can we help it?
See, you're getting hungry, aren't you?

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

.

I found a file on Cricut Access to make a pie box. 

I guess that's making a big assumption that there will be leftover pie on Thanksgiving!

But if there is, this is a cute box to send a piece home in.

I tied the box with some twine, fall embellishments and the cute tag that comes with the cut file.

Supplies used: cardstock -off white, rust, orange;  pattern paper by Authentique; cut file from Cricut; twine from May Arts, wood embellishments from JoAnn.

Now pop on over to Die Cuttin' Divas and see all the fabulous inspiration the rest of the design team has come up with.

Hope to see you playing along with us!!!!

Die Cuttin' Divas 3D project Challenge

We accomplished getting my front yard and porch decorated for Halloween over the weekend!

It is complete with graveyard which has 2 (full size) skeletons walking their dogs (skeletons also).
The front porch is a mad scientist lab (no gore), but lots of cool stuff.
On the other side of the walkway there is a full size witch (my husband cut out of plywood) and her cat.

Can you tell I love Halloween?

Well, since it is Tuesday, on to our new challenge.

Our challenge over at Die Cuttin' Divas this week is 3D.

.

I chose to create a 3D lantern with a file I purchased at Dreaming Tree.

You can find that file here.

Here is a video of it with a LED color changing tea light inside.

There is a witch on 2 opposite sides.

And a Spooky jack-o-lantern on the other 2 sides.

Supplies used: cardstock -black, purple, teal; vellum - orange, yellow; glitter cardstock - black;  cut file from Dreaming Tree.

Now pop on over to Die Cuttin' Divas and see all the fabulous inspiration the rest of the design team has come up with.

Cut It Up Halloween Challenge

The way the summer went by, before you can catch your breath it will be Halloween!

Hope you bought everything you need decor or craft wise, because they are already putting Christmas out in full force! I wish we didn't have to rush the seasons so. I don't want to have to think about what I may need for Halloween in July and August, but it seems that's the way it goes now.

Anyway, we would like you to think about Halloween for your creation this week.

Our challenge is Halloween. Create a Halloween project that contains a die cut.

Our sponsor is Dreaming Tree and you have a chance to win a $15 certificate to their store.

Our sponsor was so generous and allowed each of the design team members to pick a file from their store that we'd like to work with.

I chose their Black Cat Paperscape box which you can purchase here.

I have to say this box is easy to put together, a nice large size and super cool.

There is a cut out in the back to slip in your tea light.

My picture really doesn't do it justice, it is really much cooler in person!

Supplies Used: card stock - orange, yellow, black; patterned paper by We R Memory Keepers; cut file from Dreaming Tree

Die Cuttin' Divas Sketch Challenge

Well we are into October already!

At my house it's time to put out the Halloween decor, and boy do I have a lot of it.
My granddaughter asked me if she could come and help me decorate, so her and I went to town. We had a lot of fun together and got a good portion of it done. A few minor things to still do indoors and then outdoor decor. Hubby has to help with that though.

It's challenge time again.

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

.

I received a Halloween card kit in the mail from Simon Says Stamp and I used elements from it to create my card.

The cute little Boo Ghost is a die that came inside the kit, along with cute papers from Pebbles.

Supplies used: cardstock -white, orange, grey, black; pattern papers by Pebbles, Die from Simon Says Stamp.

Now pop on over to Die Cuttin' Divas and see all the fabulous inspiration the rest of the design team has come up with.

Die Cuttin' Divas Fall Colors Challenge

I've been noticing the trees changing into the beautiful hues of fall - reds, oranges and yellows.
Lovely colors before the stark and cold winter.

I love how nature gives us the beautiful colors of spring before the heat of summer and the gorgeous colors of fall before the snow of winter.

This week we'd like you to use the colors of fall for your project.

Our challenge over at Die Cuttin' Divas this week is Fall Colors.

.

I used a cut file from Silhouette Studio to make my simple little fall card.

Its a pop dot card by Lori Whitlock which you can purchase here.

I stamped my sentiment on a wooden leaf and tied a bit of twine near the top of the acorn to finish it off.

Supplies used: cardstock -white, orange, brown; Silhouette Studio cut file; patterned paper by Echo Park; wooden adhesive leaves, sentiment stamp and twine from the dollar section at Target.

Now pop on over to Die Cuttin' Divas and see all the fabulous inspiration the rest of the design team has come up with.
