August 24 Anything Goes!

 Welcome back to A Cut Above!   
 
*Please note...use the LINKY TOOL at the very bottom of the post.  September will offer Linky Tool only.
 
Wow, July just flew by and it's time for the August challenge here at A Cut Above.  This month the theme is "Anything Goes With A Die Cut" with no additional option.  Projects must have at least one die cut on it.  See the guidelines for the definition of eligible die cuts HERE.
 
The debut challenge this past month was a great success.  I was thrilled with 38 entries  and hope it climbs even higher in the future.  Thanks to everyone that played along with A Cut Above's debut challenge.
 
August means that summer is winding down here on the east coast.  Schools are prepping their upcoming year calendars and posting supply lists.  It's also vacation and harvest time for many.  The big harvest here in our area this time of year is fruit.  Peaches are most popular in addition to plums and nectarines. For me, I'm looking forward to the fall season when temps are cooler and the air is brisk.  
 
The inspiration for my card was peaches... 

Have a peachy day!

I'm pleased to introduce two guest designers again this month that are sharing their die cut inspiration with you, Birgit Norton and Alidalis Acevedo.  You can jump over to their blogs and leave them some love by clicking on their name anywhere in the post.

Next up is this dimensional step card from Alidalis.  She is also sharing a You Tube video on the making of this project.
 


Join the fun, dig out those die cuts and start creating!  Add dimension and elements to your projects, share with us and you could be a winner.  
 
Die cuts make everything better!

Challenge entry deadline is August 28, 2024, 8 PM Eastern Time with winner posted on August 30, 2024.
