You do have to use a manual die cutting/embossing machine for Cuttlebug Mania entries (it doesn't need to be a Cuttlebug but it must be manual, not electronic). And, you can't mix the two, it must be all manual please. Then make your entry, link into the challenge, link to the challenge in your own blog post and and make sure that you also say what products you used for any die cutting/embossing.
Details of our sponsor can be found over on the Cuttlebug Challenge blog and this is the card I made:
- 4.25" x 6" white card blank
- piece of white card, embossed using Sizzix folder called 'Corner, flower vine' and trimmed to about an eighth of an inch smaller all round than the card front
- the next step was to add the sentiment, using the MFT 'You were meant to sparkle' set and SU's 'Smoky Slate' ink pad, having worked out the placement of the flamingo.
- glued the embossed panel to the card front
- out came the snippets folder and I used two shades of pink, grey and black card stock snippets - all backed with Stick-It adhesive sheet - to die cut the flamingo using MFT's 'Flamingos' die set
- then the flamingo was assembled straight onto the card front
- final touch, five sparkly sequins, glued in place using Glossy Accents
We'd love to see you over at Cuttlebug Mania, it's a great theme with plenty of scope. The challenge runs for two weeks so you have plenty of time to have a think, make something and then come and play :)

How effective your card looks with the corner embossing Di, then the splash of pink on the Flamingo.
