Hi there, stampers!
Welcome to our Wacky Wednesday Challenge! I'm Bev Gerard (TexasGrammy), and am tickled to be back as the hostess of this week's challenge,"Cut It Out"! No, it's not a diet! Ick! It's really simple ... Be sure to use your scissors to cut something out for your project! Cut out your image, or items for paper-piecing, etc. Our popular die cuts will not count as the 'cut out' element, but you can still use them along with your cut out requisite. Come along, grab your scissors, and 'cut something out'!
The winner of this Wacky Wednesday Challenge will receive a 40% Off Certificate for your entire order at Rubbernecker! Plus, everyone who enters the challenge will automatically qualify for a 10% discount on your entire order at Rubbernecker! To receive your 10% discount, use the code WW when checking out. In order to qualify to win, just post a link to your card/project here by Monday, September 7. The winner will be announced on Tuesday, September 8. (September already? Wow!!) Remember to add a direct link to your card using our 'Mr. Linky' below.
Now onto my sample! Just click the image for a full view.
We're on the journey from Summer, changing into Fall. (Some of 'us' are changing sooner than those of 'us' in the Southern areas, but I'm speaking from the calendar here.) ;) Besides, I easily admit that I'm beyond ready to leave the 100's behind, and savor something a wee bit cooler. In the words of my 5 yr. old g'son, "Oh yeahhhh!"
After stamping and preparing the leaves, I cut them out and layered them atop the sentiment with foam tape. This often looks harder than it is in reality. If you haven't tried it, give it a try! Pick a favorite, basic card design, and cut out your image(s) rather than stamping it and leaving it "flat". You might discover that your really enjoy the new dimension! And please remember to link your creation below with Mr. Linky! We want to see your projects, and you'll be entered in the challenge contest! Woooooooooooohoooooooooooooooo!!
