The Cutting Edge Challenge #13

It’s time for the another Cutting Edge Challenge! Our inspiration this week is an amazing card created by Design Team member Kay Miller.

After staring at Kay’s lovely creation and realizing that there was nothing I could do to improve upon her design, I decided to create a card with a fall/autumn theme using the Paper Smooches Seasonal Tree die set.

I adhered the tree to the light blue panel and popped the leaves up with dimensional adhesive.

Supplies: Lil’ Inker stitched rectangle die set; dimensional adhesive; Stampin’ Up sentiment; Paper Smooches Seasonal Tree

Penny Black Inlaid Word Art

Today, I’m sharing a holiday card using the Penny Black 51-089 Tree of Joy word art die.

Word Art Holiday

I cut the Tree of Joy out of a brushed silver cardstock and inlaid it into a square red cardstock panel. I secured the inlaid pieces on the back with tape. The panel was adhered to a white cardstock panel that I had misted with silver spray using the Penny Black 25-009 Snow Dance stencil. The card base, measuring 5 1/4″ is also brushed silver cardstock.

Merry Monday: Silent Night

Today I’m sharing a card created for the Merry Monday Challenge. The theme this week is Silent Night.

I was drawn to the lovely scene of houses in the woods. I decided to make just one house red (Home & Hearth by Ellen Hutson) so as not to overpower the tranquility of the scene. I used Lawn Fawn stitched hills for the snowbanks.

I really enjoy crafting to themes like this, especially during the holidays. There’s some great inspiration from the DT over at Merry Monday.

Hello Fall in the Pacific Northwest

Today, I’m sharing a just-for-fun card depicting a typical scene in my neck of the woods, with some artistic license, of course! We’re surrounded by beautiful pine/fir/cedar forest and a scene with a blue sky, evergreen background, and a picket fence isn’t uncommon.

I stylized this scene with a black cat and pumpkins!

Hello Fall in the Pacific Northwest

I cut everything twice and attached the two layers with the 2-Way Glue Pen. I also used dimensional adhesive on the cat and a few of the pumpkins to create even more depth. Hope you’re having a wonderful fall (or perhaps spring?) day!
