Cut It Up Challenge #23--Christmas in July

Happy Friday!! Today's challenge at Cut it Up Challenges is "Christmas in July". Get a head start on making those Christmas cards! Must use a die cut.

Here is what I came up with:

The snowman and sun are from Snow Friends and Create a Critter cartridges. I ripped some white paper to make the snow and then the sentiment is from My Craft Spot's "Think Snow" stamp set. They are also our sponsor this week! The sentiment says, "Snowbody warms my heart like you." Please be sure to check them out by clicking HERE.

Thanks for taking a look and be sure to check out the other DT member's creations and how to play along HERE.

Snow Kisses-Cut It Up Challenge #6

Happy Friday everyone!

It's time for a new challenge at Cut It Up Challenges. This week, challenge #6 is Button Day! You must include somewhere on your project 2 or more buttons and also remember to include your die-cut. This was such a fun one for me to do and my DT sisters did a great job! Such fun ideas for using buttons. Make sure you check out my sister's projects also HERE.

Here is what I created for this challenge:

 I just loved how this turned out. Makes me smile whenever I look at it. Ok, so the patterned background paper and patterned paper of his jacket is from DCWV's Winter and Christmas stack. Around the background I did a tan mat on top of a red card. I also tore some white paper for snow...but you can't tell as  much b/c of my two die-cuts. 

 This snowman is cut from the Snow Friends cartridge and I turned him arms up to his face so it looks like he is giving kisses. I used 2 buttons for his buttons on his jacket. The Snow Kisses sentiment is from My Craft Spot's White Christmas stamp set.

This snow covered tree is from Create a Critter 2. To give it that sparkling, fresh snow look, I added some Stardust stickles to the snow on the tree. 

This has to be one of the cutest cards I've ever made...in my opinion. So stinking cute!
