CUTplorations October Challenge

Hello STAMPlorations Friends! Hope you had a delightful summer. Welcome back to our monthly CUTplorations Challenge where we invite you to use die-cuts and take inspiration from our photo. The first Monday of every month you'll find us here with a new photo to inspire you and some projects from the CUTplorations DT to spark your creativity.

So what is it that catches your eye in the above photograph? Vegetables? Text? Stitching? Fall colors? So many ideas, so little time, right?!? Wherever your imagination takes you, we have three prizes to be awarded to the winners chosen by the DT at the end of the month. We hope you'll play along.

Use our inspiration photo (and include it in your post) and any brand of die cuts. Just be sure to use at least one STAMPlorations product (stamp, stencil, die, coloring page) on your project. Don't have any STAMPlorations products yet? There is a free digi here, you can use. Cards, tags, scrapbook pages, mixed media projects ... all are welcome.

Let's see what the DT has done with the inspiration and the ever-expanding line of CUTplorations dies. (BTW, you might enjoy meeting the new DT members in this post.)
