PCW Die Cut and or Stamp Challenge

Good morning crafty friends,

Welcome to another Terrific Tuesday Die Cut and or Stamp Challenge. We are so glad you stopped by! Today’s challenge is a fun one for sure! This week the designers were tasked with creating projects that had the predominant color of Copper on them….OR a Copper theme, element, etc.

The reason for the copper?  During this week (Nov. 19, 1863) President Abraham Lincoln delivered the Gettysburg Address. Of course that made me think of a penny and well pennies are “Copper” so there you have it… The reason for copper.

Let’s see what our lovely designers created for your shiny, coppery, inspiration!

Count Down to 25 Days

Good morning crafty friends,

Normally on Monday’s we have a Cartridge Showcase. The designers are super busy cutting, gluing, inking and stamping like Santa's sweetest little elves. Getting ready to share on our upcoming 25 Days of Christmas and Year Around Crafting Showcase. Only 19 more days until the festivities begin!!!!

This is our third annual event and each year we have tried to do things in a bigger and better way. What started out as just a hair brain idea, has turned into a wonderful opportunity for almost 30 crafters to share their projects with you.

It is also a chance for us to say “THANK YOU” for following and sharing your crafty time with us. We are so grateful to you, all our loyal followers and challenge participants!

Each Day we will be showcasing a theme for the day. The designers will share projects related to that theme. We will also be sharing with you once again a calendar project. Through out the 25 days there will be days specific to a month. To give you an idea, here are a couple of the calendar pages from last year.

CALENDAR PAGES

 

FREE CUTTING FILES and DIGITAL STAMPS

Each day we will also be offering FREE Die Cutting Files and Free Digital Stamps. Here are a few projects from last year’s 25 days.

 

 

FANTASTIC CRICUT PROJECTS

We will also have designers showcasing projects using the Cricut and Cricut Cartridges Products. Here are a few from last year.
