A Cut Above - January 2026

 

 

Dear Ones~

Well, we are starting a new year - 2026 - can you believe it?? Doesn't seem possible!!! And it's time for a new challenge over at  A Cut Above Challenge Blog. 

 

Challenges are on a monthly basis and posted on the first Monday of the month at 12:00 AM (Eastern Time) and ending on the 28th of each month 8:00 PM (Eastern Time) with the winner posted on the 30th of that month. The theme is always anything goes with a die cut. However once in awhile we will throw in a theme for you, or just do anything goes. Entirely up to you. This time it's just anything goes.

Limit of 3 entries per challenge with each being a different project.

Any project is welcome but MUST HAVE AT LEAST ONE DIE CUT defined by using a die cut machine, not a purchased pre-fabricated die cut. Winner is chosen by random draw, and will receive a $5 gift card to A Cherry On Top Online Store along with a dated badge to display on their craft site.

 

Here's my card:

I am obsessed lately with doing collage style cards, I just find them so satisfying! I was poking around my patterned paper and came across this fun collection by Graphic 45. I forgot I had it and I think it's so whimsical and fun. I used the Honey Bee Hoosier Cabinet Holiday Add-On dies for that little figgy pudding image on my sign. Isn't it cute? This card has no special occasion attached to it, so it can be used for most anything.

 Recollections Ivory Card Stock

G 45 Life's a Bowl of Cherries Patterned Paper
