Default WT104 - To Die For

Right now will all the new die-cut machines out there...there is quite a die-cut craze. This week your challenge is to find Way's to Use Die-cuts in your projects. You can make a card or any other papercraft project you wish...just have some fun with it. For those of you who have not succumbed to temption yet, don't despair! You can usually get die-cuts from your local scrapbooking store, Michael's, a friend or even go faux, make your own paper pieced patterns!

Please remember to put WT104 in your keywords section and post a link back her so that we can all see your work!

Here is a gorgeous sample by Trudee!

A quick sample from me...
http://www.splitcoaststampers.com/ga...00&ppuser=9338

Have fun stamping and cutting! Can't wait to see your "to die for" work!

Great challenge! Going to have to dust off an old scrapbook drawer and see what's in there for die cuts.

Julia - this looks like it's right up the alley of quite a few people here. Pulling out the cuttlebug today - ooh! twist my rubber arm...

Fun challenge! I have some old school dies in my stuff somewhere. I'll have to dig 'em out later today. I'm off to volunteer at the bookfair at DS's school right now. ETA:
Where are my manners?!
Thanks for the challenge, Julia!

Julia, you could not have picked a better challenge. Too bad I won't be able to do anything till I get home from work. But I'm all over this one. I LOVE my Cuttlebug! I just finished organizing the folders and dies into one of the decorated lunch tins. Whew!

I think this is a new safeguard to avoid spammers. Go into the gallery and post a few comments on cards to get your total posts number up higher and then try again.

Well, at first I was feeling sorry for myself since I don't have a die cut machine, then I felt a TINY bit better to find there are others out there who don't have one (yet) either!! Sooooo, I will try to find some old scrapbooking ones (or try to find that place in my brain that supposedly is creative and go faux!!)

Well isn't that funny! Guess what I finally succumbed to and ordered only yesterday? A Cuttlebug! I guess I won't have it until next week at least, so I'll be a little late playing! But thanks for the challenge, Julia!

I was just playing with my new toys last night and hoping a challenge would come up for die cuts. I only have one set of dies until my order comes in so each card uses the same die. I had cut out all of these last night and made the cards this morning.

Here goes:

Cuttlebugitis

Caution: These cards are strictly for entertainment purposes.

I have had this half finished project around for weeks and today was the day to complete it. I used my Cuttlebug die for the buckle tag on a jar of candy. It was fun to play along today, thanks Julia!
