Cut it Up challenge #73 -

Hello and Happy Friday Everyone!!
Today is CHALLENGE DAY over at

Cut it Up Challenge

We are asking you to create anything
With Stars & Stripes!!
The only Challenge is...
It MUST HAVE A (DIE CUT)
So that should be pretty easy to do!!!

You know you want to play along!!!
The Prize this time is from
As Cute as a Button
For a $20 Gift Certificate

Here's what I created for this Challenge
to Inspire you!


Card Stock - Stampin Up, Georgia Pacific
Digital Designer Paper - Lori Whitlock (Patriotic Picnic)
Card Design - Silhouette Store (#78958)
Assorted Sequins - Craftin Desert Divas
(Freedom, Sunny Day, & Emerald Isle)
Trendy Twine  - Peppermint Stick
Sentiment - Craftin Desert Divas (Celebrate Freedom)
Tag Die - Jaded Blossom (Mini Tags 2)
Stars -Jolee's Boutique

To Make this a Shaker Card I used the Offset
Feature in my Silhouette Program and cut out
the Star Shape to make a window....
 I wanted this to be easy to mail 
So I used the NEW We R Memory (FUSE TOOL)
and a Sheet Protector sleeve --- I added the amount 
of Sequins I wanted then sealed it up using the
fuse tool --- Attached it to the backside of the
Striped Card mat and popped the card mat up
just a little bit....

Now that you've seen what I made ---
 let's see what you create!!!

My dear friend, this is an AMAZING take on the challenge! The banners leading to stars is a gorgeous design.. and the sweet sequin-centered one makes my heart dance! I love the varied designs of the stars and banners. The striped base is beautiful and I love the precious little tag! :o) You are such a talented cookie and you excel at every sweet style you showcase. Fingers crossed I can play along at CIU this time! Have a twinkly, sparkly, happy night, Theresa! :o) (And thank you for always making me smile!)

Hugs and blessings,
Karen
