December Challenge

Welcome to A Cut Above's

December Challenge, "Anything Goes With A Die Cut"

First, I would like to thank everyone that played a long with the November Challenge. The entries were great and it's always fun to see so many different die cuts available to crafters.

All projects that include at least one die cut are welcome. Check out the guidelines for definition of a die cut and prize eligibility. If you missed the November Challenge winner, you will find it HERE.

Grab A Cut Above's badge and share it on your blog and other social media sites. Spread the word and invite your friends to play along too.

Secondly, I want to wish everyone a safe and Happy Holiday Season!

It's been a wonderful year for A Cut Above as 2025 comes to a close and I'm looking forward to 2026 and more spectacular inspiration and entries.

Christmas is closing in on us and it's a busy time of year for all. Hoping you will have time to play along with our December Challenge. Link up your project and you could be the winner chosen by random draw of a $5 GC to A Cherry On Top Craft Store.

Please review the guidelines for the definition of a die cut and entry limit.
