Hello Stamplings!
Surprise! I know time is whooshing by, but don't worry, it's not Monday already! It's a fabulous Friday, heading into the weekend!
I'm delighted to pop in today as Guest Designer for the fun Cut It Up Challenge! The theme is Christmas in July!

I used a NBUS "Drop Nativity" die which I received from a friend to create a white-on-white QACAS design using linen paper. The double die-cut sediment is from PTI's "Wonderful Words Christmas." I just love the simplicity.

I went with mirror gold for my Twofer and I left out the center piece of the nativity die so you can see how it looks both ways. Again, super quick and CAS.
(Hammy and Stanley are volunteering this week at the Rec Center Adopt-A-Pet, "Facts About Fur" summer program, showing children the ups and downs of owning hamsters. I'm so proud!🐹🐹)

I hope you'll pop over to Cut It Up and join in the challenge! You will find all the rules and the wonderful DT inspiration on the website. As I said recently, Christmas will be here before you know it! And working on a wintry card always makes me feel cooler, especially now when it's our turn to be horrid hot!
~~~
Enjoy your weekend! No, seriously, enjoy! LITS!*
See you Monday, maybe with your CIU creations because it's D = Die Cuts week! As always, thank you for coming by to visit the Playhouse!
*Life is too short!

Love them both, but the white on white is my fave! Love the simpliity and that nativity die is gorgeous! Have a great weekend!
Such a unique die and beautiful cards created from it! Stay cool my friend!
Congrats on guesting, Darnell! You've created two lovely CAS cards. I'm partial to the second one with all of that shimmery gold!
I love the simplicity and peacefulness of the white on white version and the gold version told me that this would be an excellent die to create a window to back with one of the many backgrounds that seem to accumulate when I am playing with ink. I went straight over to Simon Says Stamp and ordered it. Thank you for sharing and for introducing me to a beautiful die that I will get plenty use use from.
Such lovely cards Darnell! The first is so striking because it’s subtle, but the gold is fabulous too! They will be much loved this Christmas!
I absolutely love this die cut. The card is just so elegant. Thank you for joining use on Cut it Up Challenges as our guest designer.
Congrats on your guest design spot! Both cards are stunning, I like when a stamp is used in different ways!
Congratulations on the Guest Designer spot. Love these two elegant Christmas cards, equally beautiful but in different ways.
Well done as the guest designer, Darnell. Both are beautiful and it's hard to pick a favorite. The white card is lovely and the gold adds an elegant touch. I'm sure Hammy and Stanley are having a great time and much appreciated there.
What stunning cards. Your die cut is gorgeous both ways! So glad you could join us a guest designer at The Cut it Up Challenge!

I am SO in love with both of rhese cards, Darnell! I believe that Drop Nativity is perfect, the white with the metallic accents are sheer perfection!
Wondeerful Christmas cards! I love their elegant simplicity, too.
How pretty! Loving the white on white.
Great to see you as a guest over at Cut It Up Darnell, and both cards are beautiful. I love the large sentiment with that tear drop shaped nativity scene, classically elegant in all white and with a bit more Christmas bling in gold on white and with more white space it makes the balance better. x
Simplicity is the way to go with that beautiful nativity die, Darnell. It looks stunning in both white and gold.
Congrats on guest designing, Darnell, and thanks for the inspiration (I played) at Cut it Up! Love your white on white with the fabulous linen cardstock & the gold Nativity too!!
Congrats on your GD spot. Your cards are great and the texture from the linen card really enhances look xx
The simplicity is gorgeous on both cards! Love the beautiful nativity die and that linen paper with its built in texture. You do simplicity so well. I can never quite manage manage total QACAS.
You've used that die perfectly and showed both possibilities. I love the simplicity of both cards.
