Challenge # 230 - Die Cuts and/or Punches

Hello everyone, Martha Lucia here this week to share with you a great challenge week! I love to combine in my creations stamps with die cuts and/or punches and today I want to invite you to follow me in this style. You can create any style of project, just must be using die cuts or punches!

This is my card, I made this using two different die cuts from Gina Marie, the stitched loop border and the XL Butterfly that I combined with Hugs and Smiles stamp set from Joy Clair Stamps. If you want you can find the complete tutorial to create this HERE in my blog.




I used the Tim Holtz dies *Wildflowers*, just love the shape of all the different blossoms. For the background I used a die also designed by him, the *Mixed Media* die set.

I colored the tag with distress ink in Stormy Sky and Walnut Stain by just wiping the pads over the tag, I love the vintage feel of this technique.

If you're anything like me, I am still trying to catch up on last years Christmas photos, but here is a Christmas punch art Bon Bon I made for last years celebrations. Using a number of punches, this little reindeer is a cute character you can add to any Christmas project.

The scalloped ovals are Spellbinder dies and the numbers are Sizzix Tim Holtz dies.

The Santa and the Tree are electronic diecuts from my cameo

Hello my crafty friends! 

It's Majo here today to show you my inspiration for the new challenge ... easy peasy, just show us an animal on your creation. A photo, a stamp or a die, it doesn't matter as long as it's an animal ♥

This is my tag. I used VivaLasVegaStamps for the images and lots of other stamps for the background.

My turn to hostess !  This time I am challenging you to use "Good Things in 3's"
 - 3 photos (or 3 phrases if you are a cardmaker)
 - 3 colours (black and white - free)
 - 3 embellishments (use as many of each you want as long as you have 3 different types)
And have fun!

I made this 2 pager with 3 photos, my colours 1.blue  2.brown and 3. orange
with  1. twine, 2. diecuts and  3.buttons as embellies.


The other DT members had fun with 3's in this way:

Lori
I used three photos, red, blue, and yellow for my colors, die cut stars, wood veneer stars, and enamel dots for my embellishments.


Here's my threes: 3 flowers, 3 kinds of polka dots, 3 colors


I used three photos, red, green, and brown for my colors, red & green sequins, wood veneer hearts, and lots of rub ons for my embellishments.




I choose to create this layout using 3 photos, 3 colours - red, black & white plus 3 embellies - stars, circles & bling.
