Use Your Scraps!



#38
Challenge: Use your Scraps
September 24 - 30th, 2013


Hi everyone, Doris here today with a bright cheery card made from my scraps drawer.  Do you hoard your favorite papers sometimes, not wanting to use them because they're so pretty?  And when you do use them, do you save your scraps?  I've got 4 big scraps drawers and had fun sifting thru them to find some patterned paper to match this bright paper from the
Bazzill Basics Electric Pack.
 
The bright and cheery neon colors were used for the card base and little flower next to the sentiment, and pop right off the page! The colors even matched the scrap of patterned paper pretty well, and the VersaMagic chalk ink I used with the Sentiment Sampler Paper Smooch stamps did too! 
 
The Bazzill Electric paper and Paper Smooches stamp set are available in the Cuttin' and Stampin' store HERE.
 
Please make sure your creation post has a link back to Cuttin' and Stampin'.

Thanks for playing along we will be announcing the winners on October 4, 2013.

Use Three Punches Challenge

#37
Challenge: Use 3 punches
September 17 - 23rd, 2013
 
Hi everyone, Doris here today with my project for this week's challenge.  I don't know why, but I don't use my punches as often as I should.  I've got so many Martha Stewart and EK Success punches, and they give a quick little punch to a project.  But this challenge was the perfect reason to open that drawer and get re-acquanted with some of my favorites, and here's what I came up with:
 


 
I used some Denim Bazzill paper and the Salutation stamp set from
Paper Smooches, and you can find them both on the
Weekly Deal page of Cuttin and Stampin found HERE.

So break out those punches and add your project using 3 of them to this week's challenge.  Please make sure your creation post has a
link back to Cuttin' and Stampin'.

Thanks for playing along we will be announcing the winners on September 27, 2013.

Anything Goes with a Twist Challenge - Heritage!

Hello blogland!  It's time for a new challenge at Crafting by Designs, and this week's theme is one of my favorites - Anything Goes with a Twist.  Our twist this week is Heritage. 

Our sponsor, Digistamps4Joy , as well as one of our Design Team members is from South Africa, and September 24th they celebrate Heritage Day.  South Africa is a country with many diverse cultures and this day is a way of celebrating their heritage, but also creating new ways of living in harmony with all the other people in our beautiful country.  I was a little hesitant about making a project for this challenge when I first saw the digi images from Digistamps4Joy, but once I got started, the creative juices started flowing!
 

This is a Ndebele Hut, and families paint them is beautiful colors, each one is different.  I chose to color mine in the red/white/blue of the USA, and this card will be going into my next box of cards for Operation Write Home. 

Want a chance to win 5 digi images from Digistamps4Joy - come join the challenge this week at Crafting by Designs!  Your project can celebrate your own heritage, your own special memories or something fun about your country. Use the colours of your country, if you get stuck on this one. We hope to see a variety of projects and I really hope we'll see some layouts!

Hi everyone, Doris here today to share a few little banners with you. I was so happy we're doing a banners challenge this week at Cuttin and Stampin because I had just made a few for a wedding. They were my very first project
with my new Silhouette Cameo and I was pleased how they turned out,
but more important - so was the bride and groom!
They wanted three: Just Married, Mr and Mrs and Thank You. Take a peek:


They were lots of fun, and pretty simple to make.
