Cut It Up Challenge #212- Happy Thanksgiving - Make a Thanksgiving themed box or bag

Happy Friday everyone! I hope you are all having a good week.  I have been so swamped with work lately and I am looking forward to things slowing down a bit very soon.  It has been chilly here at night and it finally started feeling like Fall until the weather report today said to prepare for 90 degree weather on Sunday and Monday. I sure am ready for summer temps to be over.

This week at Cut It Up our challenge is to make a Thanksgiving themed box or bag.  Our sponsor, Digital Delights by Louby Lou, gave us the cute pumpkin with sunflower die cut file to use for this challenge. Here is the project I made:

Bag die: Lori Whitlock svg file cut on my Cricut Maker

Pumpkin die: Digital Delights by Louby Lou
Pattern paper: DCWV 

Spectrum Noir Tri Blend markers used to color the pumpkin die

 

Our sponsor for this challenge was Digital Delights by Louby Loo, which is now out of business, but the prize is two adorable digis.

Cut It Up Challenge 211 - Sketch Challenge

Hello fellow crafters! I hope you are all doing well.  I had this week off and I've been to the beach twice already and we are going to stay at a hotel near the beach this weekend for our anniversary (which is on Monday). The weather has been in the 90s so spending it at the beach has been so fantastic! I have always loved going to the beach in October in San Diego because the weather is still nice but there are not as many crowds.  Since we are all supposed to be staying away from crowds, it was just perfect.

Our Cut It Up challenge this week is a sketch challenge.  We had a choice of these two sketches:

I used the top sketch and made this Halloween card:
 

 

Witch and Bat dies: Echo Park 

Banner dies: My Creative Time 

Circle die: Cut on my Cricut  

Paper: Echo Park

 

Our awesome sponsor this week is our own leader, Evelyn!  She has very generously donated this adorable stamp set from Pink & Main for the winner of this challenge. Isn't it adorable??

Cut It Up Challenge #210 - World Card Making Day (October 3)

Hello fellow crafters! I hope you are all well. I know technically it is Fall but it's hard to think about Fall when it is 100+ degrees here.  Too hot for me! I'll be happy next week when they tell us it will drop down to the mid to low 80s.

We are celebrating World Card Making Day for our challenge this week.  Our awesome sponsor, The Cutting Cafe, sent us some images/sentiments that we could use on our projects this week. I made this card for the challenge:

 

Pumpkin: The Cutting Cafe
Sign: Cricut Outdoor Man cartridge
Grass: Cricut Ribbons and Rosettes cartridge
Sentiment on sign: The Cutting Cafe
Cloud stencil: Lawn Fawn
Markers for coloring: Spectrum Tri Blend markers
Polka Dot background paper: Authentique
Solid Paper: Recollections

Thank you to our fantastic sponsor:

Prize: 3 sets to one winner
