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!

2. It's time for a fun, new challenge over at Cut It Up.

Our new challenge over at Cut It Up is Bugs and Critters!

For my project I  chose a to use Ladybug Love to create a coffee mug.
I have a reputation with my family for being unapproachable until I've had my first cup of coffee.
I once paid my daughter $5, when we were camping, to bring me a cup of joe so I didn't have to get out of my sleeping bag :)
I thought this mug suited me perfectly.

To create this mug I used Oracal 651 vinyl which I purchased from Expressions Vinyl.

You can purchase this vinyl here.

The cut file comes with three layers in case you want your spots to be a different color. I wanted my spots to be black, so I only cut out two layers.

I cut the black layer first, and used transfer tape to attach it to my mug. 

I then cut the red "wings" and attached it with transfer tape on top of the black body.

Viola, my mug was finished. Easy, Peasy and oh, so cute!

Supplies Used: plain white mug; cut file from My Scrap Chick; Oracal 651 vinyl in black and red; transfer tape.

Cut It Up Organization Challenge

I don't know about you, but I am not always the most organized person :(

For my project I used their cut file called Note Holder which you can purchase here.

I cut it out with some old Peachy Keen paper by American Crafts.

The cut file also comes with the ability to cut the square notecards with a heart cutout.

Now I won't be searching for that paper and pen!
