Die Cutting Challenge

This is my 2nd post today! I'm on a roll :) I made this card for the Moxie Fab World Cool Tools Week Die cutting challenge found here. It's a fun challenge and all you have to do is use a die cut in an innovative way on your project! I'm using a new Memory Box Serafina Heart die that I bought with some Christmas cash. I cut the heart using a scrap of some heavy shimmer paper that was given to me so I'm not sure who makes it. I made a border using an EK punch, and put a piece of matching card stock behind it. The sentiment was done with a $1 stamp from Michaels and a Close To My Heart marker, and I added a tiny white heart-shaped brad just for fun.
Go here and check out the challenge because you have a chance to win a copy of the new magazine Cool Tools, and that looks like a must-have magazine! You have until February 13th to play along. Have fun!
That will do it for me for today! Thanks for stopping by and make it a great day!

  3. Carol, Both of these cards are fabulous. The die on your first card is so very interesting. I like that punch more and more every time I see it and you really stepped it up by backing it with the colored paper. What a cute sentiment. Your second card with that adorable little image is just precious. Perfect coloring and I love that music paper just as much as your designer paper. I'm going to have to get me that (and maybe others) image. I have been rearranging and cleaning this craft room for 2 days straight. I needed to find a way to make it work better without seeming so crowded. Busy day planned for tomorrow, but hopefully I'll get to craft Thursday. Have a great night.

  6. Holy Toledo! I am so glad to see this heart die cut used. I've been eyeing it on Joan's Gardens for a while. It's very unique and gorgeous, too. The border hearts are just yummy. Super duper card, Carol.
