ACA - Today we Celebrate You!

 

Happy Monday! I am back with another post for the "A Cut Above" Creative Team! 

If you aren’t familiar with A Cut Above, we share monthly challenges that are all about die-cutting. The challenges are always anything goes - with the condition of at least one die cut used (defined by using a die cut machine, manual or electronic, not a purchased pre-fabricated die cut).

For this month's clean and simple challenge, there is also an optional "fall flowers" theme you can add to your card. I chose to just stick with this cute birthday card. 

Here's a close up of my card:

That's my card for this month's challenge - thanks for stopping in. I do hope you will join us! We would love to have you! Cheers!

Anything Goes KCC #831 - You're the Coolest

 

Happy 'Krafty Chicks' Thursday everyone! 

It's our Anything Goes challenge as there is an extra Thursday this month :) Our hostess is our wonderful Diane, and this one is always exciting as we get to see SO many different creations (not all necessarily cards) and the gallery is usually chalk-full of amazing creations! 

This month, we have a little extra "optional" inspiration for you. Diane put together a "mood board" for us to use as our jump-off point for inspiration this week. You can use it if you wish, but you do not have to. Let your creativity flow...

KCC #831 {ANYTHING GOES}

My card is from a super cute summery kit called Summer Snapshots from Simple Cards. Here's a close up of my card:

KCC #829 {CLEAN & SIMPLE}

I wanted my card to have some color with the sentiment white - so I got inky. I found a card to CASE on Pinterest and I made it my own version with a polka dot stencil instead of hearts. It was actually a fairly quick card to make! Here's a close up of my card:

Happy Holidays - KCC #824

 

 Welcome to "Krafty Chicks Thursday." 

This week we are on Week 2 and as always the theme is "CHRISTMAS" with Denise as our hostess. We want to see all your festive creations - even though Christmas is over half the year away, you can always get started on your stash for this year! You could even make some gift bags or tags.  We hope you will come over and join in the fun with us.

KCC #824 {CHRISTMAS}

I found some of these older snowflake brads in my crafty drawers a couple weeks ago when I was doing a "crafty supply purge." I always loved them, and so I quickly whipped up an easy Christmas card with some older stamps and SU paper - love this color combo!
