Hello



Let's Begin A Lawn Fawn Month With A Bang! 

Die Cut Divas is pleased to have Lawn Fawn sponsor Die Cut Divas for the month of March with a $25 gift card.

The theme for this month is "Anything Goes"

Here is my project-


 Just a fun little tidbit-except for the sky and grass, the birdbath and house were colored with Copics! I'm trying to use up my white scraps, and by using them I can color die cuts however I want! For more information on this card, please visit me at Just A Nutter Paper Crafter.

Make sure to enter the challenge for a chance at that great prize!

A Colorful Aloha with Lawn Fawn

Hello crafty friends. It's Sue here with a card for you today. Our March challenge is

ANYTHING GOES

Our sponsor this month is Lawn Fawn who will be giving our winner a $25 gift card. Thank you Lawn Fawn for your generosity.


I love color, especially bright colors. Bright colors are especially welcome when the weather outside is cloudy and rainy, like it is in the Pacific Northwest in winter. I needed something to cheer me up. Here's my card


For my card, I used Lawn Fawn's Tropical Leaves Background stencil (set of 2) and Lawn Fawn's Aloha stamp set and coordinating Aloha dies. For specifics on how I made my card, please check out my foleysfriend blog.

We'd love to see your ANYTHING GOES projects in our gallery.

Puzzle Valentine

 Hello there,

Cindy here to share another Non-Traditional Valentine Card.  I chose green/white/kraft with gold for my card.


The puzzle pieces were die cut using Hero Arts Puzzle Fancy Die.  I cut three times and stack them up so that they're as think as chip board.  The pattern paper is die cut with a rectangle stitch die, the sentiment from an older Hero Arts stamp set is white heat embossed.

Our challenge is sponsored by Hero Arts this month, and the theme is: Non-traditional Valentine Card.  Challenge winner will receive a $25 gift card to their store.


For detail supply list, visit me at Escape To Stamping.

Now it's your turn, create a non-traditional Valentine card and play along.  Have fun!  But remember to add die cut and/or dry embossing to your project to qualify for the prize drawn, and add a link back to our challenge blog in your blog post.

Bye for now.
