Cut It Up 365 - Just Because Scene

Welcome to Cut It Up Challenge 365!

The theme for this challenge is orange and black. Those must be the dominant colours on your project. 

I drew my inspiration from a card I found on Pinterest. I inked the background with oxide inks and embossed the black image on top. I tore the bottom of that piece and I also tore a black piece of cardstock to allow a thin border. Everything was adhered to coloured cardstock and then a black card base. The sentiment was die cut and placed at the bottom. 

Come and join us at Cut It Up and show us how you interpret this challenge. 

You have until Monday, September 28 to link up your project. 

We can't wait to see what you create!

Alphabet Challenge - R is for Rabbit

 This is my card to represent the letter R for the Alphabet Challenge. 

R stands for red, rabbit and Ray-Ban sunglasses! 

I die cut and assembled the rabbit and added glasses to his face. In hindsight, I should have added vellum or something to make the glasses look more like sunglasses. I chose a red gingham pattern for behind the rabbit and along the bottom. A simple sentiment was added and I used red Stickles for the dots around the circle.

Poinsettia Christmas Card

 For this pretty card, I die cut the poinsettia and leaf pieces from white cardstock and inked them. The poinsettia was placed on a white embossed card front with glitter banners. I added a hot foiled sentiment at the bottom.

Spirit of Peace Card

 I love how this turned out! The finished size is 6x6. 

I embossed the white panel and added a strip of patterned paper and gold foil off to the side. The images were all die cut and arranged on the front. The sentiment was placed over all the messy work and I added some gold gems around the card.

Ham It Up Trio of Pigs

 This adorable card is based on one I saw on Pinterest. It's an old MFT stamp and die set.

I stamped, coloured and die cut the pigs and associated images. A bordered rectangle was die cut and I cut three circles from that piece. The pigs were arranged in the circles and I added the fence and plant pot at the bottom. Some holographic sequins were placed around the card.

BB September - Birthday Florals

 After a hiatus of a few months, I decided to rejoin the Beautiful Blossoms Design Team. It is one of my favourite challenges since I love working with florals. 

The inspiration photo is below. You do not need to use this - it is there for inspiration only. 

I drew the colours for my card from the photo.

I stamped and stencilled the floral image and die cut it 3x to stack it. The sentiment was also stacked. I stamp a background in light grey and placed it behind the die cut frame layers. The image was placed in the lower corner and I added some clear gems around the card.

Come and join us at Beautiful Blossoms and show us how you interpret this challenge.

You have until October 12 to link up your project.

Winter Scene Ornament Card

 This is another card inspired by one I found on Pinterest. I chose a purple, gold and white colour scheme. 

I die cut a purple circle and fussy cut snowbanks for the bottom. The images were die cut and assembled (time consuming!) I arranged them under the snowbanks and added some purple trees. I used white and gold pens to create the snowy sky and embossed a sentiment at the top. The ornament was added to a lighter purple card front and then to a white card base.

Deer Through the Window

 This pretty card was inspired by one on Pinterest. I had to make a 5x7 card to fit the window image.

I lightly inked a background, stamped the deer and tree and arranged the die cut elements on top. I placed a thin black frame between the last two layers. Aside from a stamped sentiment, I didn't add anything else to this card.

Trio of Sunflowers

 This pretty card was inspired by one I saw on Pinterest. 

The sunflowers and leaves were die cut in white and inked. I embossed a Kraft panel and cut the panel into strips to place across the card. The sentiment was added at the bottom along with some iridescent gems.

My Light is Always On for You

 This is another card inspired by one on the Waffle Flower site. 

I embossed the red background with a brick folder and dragged a darker red ink pad across the raised sections. The frames and images were die cut, assembled and adhered to the front of the card with foam tape. A cute sentiment was placed at the bottom.
