Whether it's manual or electronic - what did you die cut lately? If I have the luxury of lots of time, I like to add die cuts to my Project Life album. Yesterday I used my Cricut to cut out some pumpkins and music notes to embellish pictures of DD's three Halloween parties. I cut out a knife to use as a date and journaling tag for pumpkin carving. And I cut out a "trick or treat" phrase" for when all the cuties came knocking at the door on the 31st.
How about you? How did you get crafty lately?

I cut a few titles and I also made some connected heart outlines after seeing something similar in the Silhouette store.

I was just going to post and saw this... I designed my own cut file with the Silhouette Design software (that I've owned for too long and not used ) and made my own tag, banner, pennant shape and a Pac-man and ghosts and a few other simple shapes and they actually cut! It took maybe 3 minutes per shape (they are simple...) what took me so long?

Haven't crafted in a couple of weeks, but at the crop in October, I used a ton of leaf dies--Spellbinders and TE--and I had fun playing with a very old Cuttlebug set to die cut and emboss pumpkins out of different papers and then fussy cut the inside portions to pop up over the originals to get more colour and dimension. Also cut some titles with Spellbinders alphabet dies. I am looking forward to making some more Christmas cards using diecuts of trees and deer. And my TE Santa & reindeer die--just saw a really cool way to liven it up on the scrapbook & cards today blogI think the most used dies in my stash are the TE stacked stitched circle dies. They get more of a workout than any others.

Nothing lately, but I found the cutest octopus die that I found at Tuesday Morning quite a while ago and forgot that I had it. I have completed all but one of my summer layouts, so that octopus is going onto a freshwater page. He'll have to deal with it.

Some scalloped circles.
I am making some ornaments next week with my non-crafty friend. And my dad, and friend's DD. I will be making little kits for everyone.

I stamped a bunch of Halloween themed stamps, and I cut them out using the PixScan mat and my Cameo. Two of them were wood mounted stamps. None of the various stamps I used had matching dies. It was a bit of a pain learning to use the PixScan mat, but it was totally worth it.

The last thing I cut I used Silhouette to cut ovals for my Thanksgiving cards (like for a platter with stamped pumpkins on it). Then I bought a set of Copics and stamped and started coloring images for my Christmas cards. I still have a couple of weeks to finish the T-giving cards, right? BTW - I'm obsessed with Copic coloring. What in the wide, wide world took me so long to buy these? Oh, yeah $$$!

I just made this for our little guy (he's 2.5). He was running around my scrapbook room with a million other toys to play with but nothing was satisfying him so I turned on my Cameo and made him a chipboard airplane and covered it with some old Little Yellow Bicycle paper. He's already ran it into the wall and floor several times lol.

I got my last 2 dies from my aliexpress/Amazon order today so I tried them out. I've finished making cards for the 2peas swap so I just might have to make more cards for family and coworkers!

I got my "take a bough" die set out and cut a few sample pieces to see if the skewers I had would be the right size to make the trees. Now I just need to hunt down some really sturdy green cardstock so that I actually use this set this year.

nicolep, cute plane. I haven't physically die cut anything. But last week, I did layout a calendar in silhouette so I could cut all of the pieces, which I hope to do this week. Then this week, I designed some wine cellar tags in silhouette to print and cut as well. Hopefully this week too.

My last cuts were titles from one of my alpha die sets. I have some Christmas cards to make so I’ll be using my Big Shot a good deal in the next few weeks.

The last things I die cut were frames that look like Polaroids/Instagrams for use in a Disney album.
Over the next couple weeks, I'm going to be die cutting lots and lots of titles.

It was probably my Sizzix doodlebug alpha dies, along with the Sizzlit italic alphabet dies. It had been a long time!
