Hi everyone. Welcome to June's Challenge at CAS Mix Up! We are having so much fun at CAS Mix Up, enjoying each and every entry. Last month we had awesome entries for the Heat Embossing challenge. Click HERE to see our May Challenge Pinterest Board ... lots of amazing inspiration!
Speaking of amazing entries ... click HERE to check out our "Pick of the Month" and to see some of the Outstanding Designs we've highlighted from May's challenge.
On to June's challenge ...
This month we want to see some die-cuts on your cards. Make sure to include some stamping (a little or a lot), die-cuts, and then pick something from the "Your Choice" list in the right sidebar to add in.
Die-cuts are a staple with many of us crafters. So many fantasic dies available that you can use to add dimension to your card,
or use to inlay into a design. You can die-cut from patterned paper, plain paper, or watercolour paper so that you can use techniques such as smooshing, watercolouring, etc. Lots of ways in which to use die-cuts.
We are thrilled to have Hazel Kinvig-Paul (My Card Attic) as our Featured Designer this month. Hazel is an amazing card artist. Her designs are unique and creative and we are so happy to have her join us this month to provide inspiration to our design team and our participants. Thanks so much Hazel!
And we are excited to have Barb Ghig (Barb's Studio Creations) as our Guest Designer this month. Barb made a stunning card which was our "Pick of the Month" for April. Click HERE to see her card from the stenciling challenge.
