Cut It Up Challenge #148 Dogs or Cats

Good Morning and Happy Friday fellow crafters. Today is the start of Cut It Up Challenge #148. The theme is “Dogs or Cats”. This challenge is sponsored by Heartfelt Creations AND Newton’s Nook! This challenge will run from today;

Friday, May 17th until Wednesday, May 31st

Here is my inspiration for you!

This first card is the backup card, lol! I stamped Newton's Nook "Company of Cats" twice. On one image I die cut out a heart and colored the cats. Then, I used foam mounting squares to place on the uncut image.

My original plan was to make a magic slider card. I thought this image would be perfect for that. However, all of the written instructions I found online were in centimeters. With some trial and error and some white card stock for practice, I finally was able to piece this together.

Here is what I used:

Newton’s Nook – Company of Cats

Jaded Blossom – Card Mat Die, Candy Wrap Die, Stitched Rectangle Die 1, Heart Die 1

Copics – B14, C2, C3, C4, C5, C6, C8, E31, E34, R20, R39, Y13, Y38, YR14, YR82

Nuvo Crystal Drops - Silver Lining

Looking forward to seeing your creation! Remember, only one entry per person and you must have a die cut!
