The Creative Crafters Challenge in June

  The Creative  Crafters starts a monthly challenge every 15th of the month and I've made a stencil to make a beautiful flower as inspiration for this month. 

This challenge is always "Anything Goes".  
Be sure to join The Creative  Crafters challenge! 

I found this Christmas Tree die set was so easy to make a card that I made two. The colored cardstock is not blue, but a teal color and if I had any green glitter paper, I would have used it, but no, I didn't.

The tree die is only two dies and they are super easy to cut with.  I've used it before and found that I really liked using True Snow on the limbs, but glitter paper is just as impressive and actually takes less time.  I already had the backgrounds die cut in their packages so these cards went super fast.    


2nd card - same glitter papers & frame

Supplies: 
Both cards:
Kat Scrappiness Snowy Layering Christmas Tree Craft Die
Glitter papers in white and teal
Copic color E79 for the wood
Distress Oxide Broken China for sponging the background on both cards
Waffle Flower Postage Collage Die ( if you cut your 8 1/2 X 11 inch paper into 4 parts and use the die to cut out the inside evenly, you can use the left over frames in other projects.

2nd card:

Card Chain Challenge Reveal for May

Time for the Card Chain Challenge Reveal for May

If you'd like to sign up for the June CCC , follow this link and be sure to mail your card to your partner.

  When I had this Poppy Stamps die set in my hands, I couldn't resist using it for this challenge.  I know it only has a few flowers, but I think it's cheery and it's one of my favorite dies.  I hope my partner likes it because I really do LIKE it and would have held onto it longer because it cheers me up when I'm at my computer.


Supplies:
Poppy Stamps Fern and Daisy Pop Up Easel Set Craft die
Copic markers
Vagabond die cut machine

Below are the challenge choices. 


Thanks for stopping by.

Having Fun Stamping

Welcome to my blog.  I have a card made for the Die Cut Divas challenge where the challenge is "Anything Goes"..  

There is no official sponsor for Die Cut Divas, but there is still a challenge prize.  One of our Divas won a $25 gift card to Whimsy Stamps and wishes to pass it on.

Remember to use die cuts and/or dry embossing in your creation process.

I wanted to use this honeycomb die set since I've only used it once before here.  Definitely a guy card.  I think I'll use it for one of my Toastmaster friends.  
Supplies:
Waffle Flower Subsentiments Birdie Diecut  (just opened the package - new)
Nuvo Crystal Drops - Gloss - Dandelion Yellow
Copic BG000
Vagabond die cut machine
