March Challenge at A Cut Above

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 my card this month, I went to my older stash of designer papers, and pulled out this beautiful floral piece. I used this gorgeous stamp from the set "It's a Celebration" from Pink & Main and embossed it with gold, then used the P&M coordinating die and popped it up for dimension. Here's a close up of my card:

Gold embossing is extremely difficult to get a decent picture of, but you get the idea LOL...here is a picture of the stamp/die set I also used:

Well, that’s my card for this month's challenge - I do hope you will join us! We would love to have you! Cheers!

KCC #805 {Anything Goes w/embossing twist}

Happy 'Krafty Chicks' Thursday everyone! 

It's our first Anything Goes challenge of 2026 as there is an extra Thursday this month. This year, we are adding optional "twists" to our ATG posts so if you wish to use the option, bonus! If not, that's ok too! This month, it's embossing - and you can either use wet (heat) embossing or dry embossing (folders).

Our hostess is Leanne 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! 

KCC #805 {ANYTHING GOES w/OPTIONAL EMBOSSING}

I used an embossing folder from Stampin' Up! on my background layer. Here's a close up of my card and I also decorated the inside:
