Critters on the Savanna

partial die cutting photo tutorial

Today we have a super fun photo tutorial on partial die cutting to create a tag by Elena! Let’s check it out!

She used the Critters on the Savanna stamp set and dies for this, but this idea works for any die!

This creates a small lion shape tag that opens for a special message.

Washi tape or even post-its or painter’s tape would work to hold the die in place!

Adhere the colored and die cut lion on the tag, and you’re done! So cute!!

Thank you so much for this photo tutorial, Elena. It is awesome!

I hope you all have a wonderful weekend! We have lots of fun family timed planned, and I am excited for that!

A crafty game show – the 10 Minute Craft Dash

 Have you ever wanted to be on a game show? I always had dreams of being on Double Dare. Haha! Well, the 10 Minute Craft Dash totally feels like a game show. I love this challenge! Paulina gives a color palette and then you have 10 minutes to get crafty. I love it!

The other cool part is that we are sponsoring this time, and there is an awesome prize:

Woohooo! So make sure to go and play along. I cannot wait to see your 10 minute cards!

My card took me 9 minutes and 34 seconds! Phew!! I used Critters on the Savanna because the thought of a pink giraffe was too hard to resist! The dies really helped me stay under the 10 minute time. I also used this Pink Lemonade element sticker as “grass” and So Much to Say for my sentiment. A rounded corner and some white gel pen were fast and easy to do and added a little something.

Head on over and enter your cards for a chance at the prize! I can’t wait to see them!!

Latisha combined Sharp Backdrops and So Much to Say for a perfect CAS card. I love it! Using just one strip of the Backdrops looks so cool!

I love how Yainea cut a single arrow out of the background and her cool masking! Combining this set with Lime Lawn Trimmings, Hello Friend and the Hearts Lawn Cuts dies is a great look!

Chari’s diagonal background stamping looks so good! I love how she did emboss resist with mists and her A Birdie Told Me stamp and die mixed with So Much to Say is perfect!

I love how Kim covered a whole layout in the Sharp Backdrops! The way she layered them is so cool, too. I love that they are easy enough to line up to cover a big space like this!
