 Hello, Kraftie Friends!

This cards looks complicated, but it's not! All you need are: 2 torn patterned paper panels, 2 die cuts (Spellbinders Oval and CTMH Layered Butterflies), and 2 stamps (floral and sentiment).

Stamp some flowers on the smaller panel with purple ink. Stamp and fussy cut the sentiment, and add additional color with alcohol-based markers. I also colored the Layered Butterflies Thin Cuts butterfly with a marker. Layer all pieces with adhesive and add the sentiment with foam tape.

Challenges:

1. Critter Crazy #55: AGoes with a featured Critter

2. Beyond the Blue #35: Layered Die Cuts

3. Die Cut Divas October: AGoes

4. Craftyhazelnut's Patterned Paper Oct 2021: AGoes

5. QKR Stampede #429: AGoes

6. Let's Craft and Create #176: AGoes + Things with Wings

7. Happy Little Stamper Oct AGoes with Dies

 Happy Sunday, Kraftie Friends!

It's been a while...but I have a card to share today, using die cuts.

When I get my die cut machine out...can't just cut 1 or 2 designs...so, even if I don't need them right away, I die cut whatever I can fit in the scraps, then organize them in small photo boxes to use later.

I used a negative panel, leftover from previous cuts, and added new die cuts to make this card. Most die cuts are Sizzix (Jungle Shadow Box) and some are Spellbinders. 

Challenges:

1. Addicted to Stamps and More #415: Die Cuts and/or Stencils

2. Gem of a Challenge #21: Cardmaking & Craft - AGoes

3. Mix It Up #54: AGoes + Paper Piecing

4. DiesRUs #178: AGoes (using brands that DRU sells)

5. Beyond the Blue #35: Layered Die Cuts

6. Happy Little Stamper Oct AGoes with Dies
