Welcome to the August 2017 Pals Blog Hop. Thank you so much for joining us today. This month we’re going to “Cut It Out”. Participants will feature projects with “cuts” from punches, dies, Framelits, Edgelits, or Thinlits.
Whether you’re just starting the hop, or have come from a previous Pal’s blog, you’ll find the line-up toward the end of my post to help you move along.
I made this card to use as a Sympathy card for my kid’s favorite swim coach, who recently lost her Mom. I used 3-3/4″ x 1″ strips of each of the new In Colors and adhered them to a piece of 5″ x 3-3/4″ white card stock. I ran that through the Big Shot with the Fluttering embossing folder. With Stampin’ Dimensionals, the butterfly layer is attached to a Flirty Flamingo 5-1/2″ x 4-1/4″ card. The Isaiah verse is from the Rose Wonder stamp set. Everything looks better when it’s cut out with the Stitched Shape Framelits. If you own a Big Shot you will want to get them! The butterfly is from the Bold Butterfly Framelits.
Here’s a birthday version of the card. The little butterflies are cut from the Build A Bike Framelits.
Here’s a similar card flipped the other way. The Happy Anniversary is from a retired set, All-Year Cheer III from back in 2002. (I’m dating myself.) The colors are Powder Pink, Sweet Sugarplum, Berry Burst, Fresh Fig, Blackberry Bliss.( All are current except Blackerry Bliss.)
The Big Shot is a wonderful tool that allows you to make awesome “cuts” on your cards.

My comments have not been going through. I thought I would try it again. Fun cards with the colors and the embossing!
My sister in law and brother loved their anniversary card. I had to tell her how we did that! Thanks for the tutorial too.
Three fabulous cards Beth! I especially love the first one…that’s one of my favorite Bible verses and I love to see it on cards!
Your coloring blocking is so creative, especially with the embossing. These projects are terrific.
I love those kind of muted rainbow colors! Thank you for the inspiration!!
Isaiah 41:10 is beautiful with your card. Thanks for sharing, Beth!

I love this technique. The colors are wonderful!
I think that we are stampin’ sisters! LOVE the layout. I just think that there is something so special about color blocking and then embossing….what can I say but – icing on the cake!
