Vicki - ACA Owner

Hi, I'm Vicki, owner of A Cut Above.  I've been an avid crafter since my youth many years ago.  Paper crafting is my favorite hobby, but I also enjoy crocheting, reading and gardening.  My style is eclectic with both scrapbooking and cards.  I love using inks and other media but my true love is die cuts!  Hence, the beginning of this die cut challenge blog, A Cut Above!

 

Diane

 Hi, I'm Diane.  I live in Montreal, Canada with my husband and daughter.  I've been crafty since being crafty was cool.  I come from a line of creative women, starting with my seamstress grandmother and my talented knitting mother, who both passed along their love for creating.  I have been making cards for approximately  10 years, but before that I was getting a degree in haute couture sewing just for fun, and beading, knitting, embroidering, painting, you get the picture.  Even before that I can remember making my own birthday party invitations as a child, no store bought invites for this crafter.  I am a maximalist card maker who love colour. I hope you enjoy my creations.

I have been driven to create since I was a little girl, dabbling in all sorts of media; stained glass, cross stitch and embroidery, knit and crochet, beading, and many other things.  My passion at the moment is paper crafting, and I LOVE to learning and using new techniques!!  Currently I sit on 3 Design Teams, and totally enjoy interacting with all the talented artists and makers. I am a wife, mother of 2, and grandmother of 2. It is an honor and pleasure to be a part of A Cut Above Design Team, and I can't wait to see all your beautiful creations.
