Cut It Up Challenge #228 - Fourth of July

Hello crafters! Summer showed up in southern CA this week and it has been hot, hot, hot. 

As of yesterday, we are fully opened up in CA. I'm excited and a little nervous about not wearing a mask. We are later than most states with opening up. Some of my friends have told me in about a week I won't even remember wearing a mask! I am meeting a friend for drinks tonight and it will be amazing to be able to see friends again in person whenever we want to.

Our Cut It Up challenge this week is Fourth of July. It's hard to believe it is almost July! Here is the card I made:

Background paper: American Crafts
Plain paper: Stampin' Up
Popsicle stamp (cut on Brother Scan n Cut): Stampin Up
Tag dies: My Creative Time
Sentiment: My Creative Time
Circle Punch: EK Success
Star sequins: Michaels

 

 Our awesome sponsor this week is:

Prize: June 2021 Card kit

I hope you will join our challenge. Please stop by and check out all the other amazing design team posts at Cut It Up.

Cut It Up Challenge 227 - Shaped card or fun fold card

Hello crafters! I hope you are all doing well. It is hard to believe that it's June already. Things are slowly getting back to pre-Covid times. I notice more and more folks on the roads these days. My husband and I went to a Padres game about a week ago. It was so fun being back in the stadium and watching live baseball! They still had us distanced in the stadium because CA has not opened up fully yet but we really had a great time!

On to our Cut It Up Challenge. This challenge is to make a shaped card or a fun fold card.  Our awesome sponsor for this challenge is The Cutting Cafe and they gave us a couple of different files to use for this challenge. I decided to make a 60th birthday card for a friend of mine who turns 60 in August. I used the Mason Jar File and made it into a shaker card:

Mason Jar die cut card: The Cutting Cafe
Paper: Simple Stories and DCWV
Sentiment and balloon dies: The Cutting Cafe
Balloon string dies: My Creative Time
Banner tag: Amazon
I used my Fiskars crimper to make the marks on the lid

A big thank you to our awesome sponsor:

Prize: 3 sets to one winner
