Cut It Up Challenge #28 - Going In Circles

 

Happy Friday!!! It's another start to another AWESOME challenge over at Cut It Up Challenges! We want you to start "Going In Circles" with your projects.  Load your projects up with circles and use a die cut (it can be from any machine/tool).  We have some AMAZING sponsors for this challenge too! One lucky winner will win 5 Itty Bitty stamps from Unity Stamp Company AND a $20 coupon code to As Cute As A Button!  So make sure you get your projects linked up, there is plenty of time!!!

For my project, I used the Button Bingo Itty Bitty stamp that Unity Stamp Company so graciously sent me to build a "fun and games" birthday card for a pre-teen boy.  My pattern paper all came from DoodleBug's Day to Day 6x6 paper pad that I purchased from The Royal Castle Shoppe on FB.  I used George to cut out all my circles, Mini Monograms for my letters, and Wrap It Up for my game controller and "jacks".  I also used Swiss Dots, Modern Wallpaper, and Chevron embossing folders to add some dimension to a few of my cuts.  Be sure to watch my video to get all the crafty details of my card...it was super fun to put together!!!

Just A Note...

 

I am so excited how this card all came together!  When I pulled out my black and white scraps to go through for a couple challenges, I had a few pieces of, I guess, damask pattern paper and I immediately thought of my sister. She just finished up a semester towards her 2nd Bachelor's Degree and has many more to go; I'm super proud of her and wanted her to know that and give her a bit of encouragment, so she was my inspiration for this card.  Anyway, My Creative Time's challenge is to create a black & white card, while HIMCR is having the Super Scraps Saturday challenge.  I pulled out my Forever Young cartridge and found a model with, what looked like to me, a maxi dress and I knew that's the one to use for my sister.  I also cut the frame and shadow frame behind her from the same cart.  I did emboss my white mat with the Cuttlebug's Modern Wallpaper embossing folder, and I LOVE how it looks.  I embellished the card with a matching flower and two buttons, added the sentiment on the bottom and called it complete!  An Inky Situation also has a challenge to use buttons, so I'll be entering it there too.  I really hope my sis likes this card, I think it turned out great.  I have a video on how it all came together, hope you'll check it out!
