Take 2 Smiles Every Hour!

Hello everyone! I am here to share a card with you that can be used for somone who is not feeling well or even someone who may have lost a special someone. I just think these images on this "Tissue Time" stamp set are for sure going to cheer someone up for even just a second. And of course I had to use my new favorite dies "Inside Scalloped Square"! I hope you all enjoyed this card and helps inspire you a little to make some get well or sympathy cards. Because I would have to say those are the hardest ones for me to create.

Hello Everyone! Today is day 3 of the sneak peeks and one of the sets we are showcasing is the new "Doodled Frames" stamp set. The background brick is a little peek of what will be apart of this fun set! I also am using the new "Inside Scallop Square" Dies from Day 1 of the sneak peeks. This adorable reindeer is a Digi stamp called"Jingle"! The other images came from the stamp set "Winter Bliss". Then the sentiment came from "Tis The Season" stamp set.

Here are some of the CDD product I used:

Thankful For You!!!

Hello hello hello! Stopping by today to share a card I created to give to my daughters to show them how thankful I am for them. They love these sweet little cards that I try to give them every holiday. I started with cutting out many layers with Craftin Desert Diva's "Stitched In Circle Dies". The "Little Gobbler" Digi stamps was colored with my Spectrum Noir markers and I used one of the dies to cut it out. Then I cut out this banner using Craftin Desert Diva's "Flag Banner Dies" . I stamped the I Love You sentiment from "Say It Big" stamp set and heat embossed it with some white embossing ink. So of course I wanted more and more dimension to this card so I popped it up with some foam tape. Also I decided Sequins were a must so I used two different mixes from Craftin Desert Diva's "Fall Harvest" and "Holly Jolly". I made this fun card to go along with the Craftin Desert Diva's November Monthly Challenge! For more details on how to enter and for your chance to win some PRIZES please come join us in the Craftin Desert Diva's Gallery. There is a tap over there that says Files and then a document with all the details. And please feel free to ask us any questions we are all happy to help.

You can see all the dimension right here!

Thank you so much for stopping by today! 

Hope you all have a fabulous Thanksgiving and week.

Dream Big!!!

Hello everyone! Wanted to share a fun card I made to help inspire my friend to continue to dream big on her new healthy lifestyle. I recently have started to eat healthier and work out. And I know how important it can be to have some support and someone to believe in you. So I thought this card is a perfect way to remind her I am always here for her.

 OK on to how I made this card...... First I cut some layers using "Fancy Frame Dies". I then used my distress inks for one of the layer to give a sunrise look. This cute image is "Fitness Bunny" and I colored it up with my Spectrum Noir Markers. I also got this perfect sentiment from the Craftin Desert Diva's stamp set "Be Inspired". Then I decided it needed a little sparkle so I used some stickles and scattered some "Shimmer" sequins on it as well. I hope you all enjoyed my card today.

Hope you all have a fabulous day! 

Zombie Night Walker Card!

Hello everyone! So excited to share this card with you today because I used a new technique I learned from one of Jennifer McGuire's older videos! This Digi is from Craftin Desert Diva and is called "Stitches"! I colored him up using my Spectrum Noir markers and then after covered him up and the tombstone with rubber cement to mask him off so I could create a night sky and the grass hill with my Distress Inks. I also just cut out a mask for the moon and held it down while I blended some of the sky. After all my ink and paint splatters were dry I was able to rub off the rubber cement so easy and ta-da! I also outlined him with some of my grey markers to help him pop out of the background just a little more. The sentiment was from Craftin Desert Diva's stamp set "Sugar Skull Amor"! I have more coming your way using this awesome stamps set so stay tuned for that! For the Zombie mat I also used "Fancy Frame Dies". I hope you all enjoyed my card today. Thank you all for stopping by and I can't wait to share so much more with you!

Don't forget to stop by the Craftin Desert Diva's website and check out all the amazing other Digi's they have to offer!

Hope you all are having a fabulous weekend!

Craftin Desert Diva Sushi Card!!!

Hello everyone here today to share this card I made. I had a freakin blast with this one! I know I say that a lot but seriously come on!!! How cute are these little Sushi Digi's! Colored these up using my spectrum noir markers and fussy cut them all out with my Tim Holtz "Tonic Scissors". This card base is from my stash that I ran through my die cutting machine with a chevron embossing folder. Of course CDD "Fancy Frame Dies" were a must as well on this card! To create the watercolor background I used Tim Holtz Distress Ink "Mowed Lawn" by smushing it down my acrylic stamping block and spraying it with my water bottle and then taking a clear acetate sheet (this can even be what your stamps come on) and then rubbing it down on the block to pick up then ink and smushing it down on your watercolor die cut. I also used some Tim Holtz Distress Ink "Spiced Marmalade" distress ink for the splatters and then on the chevron card base I splattered on some of my black dye ink I use for all my sentiment stamping. Last but not least the sentiment comes from CDD "Kitchen Cuties" stamp set! 

Here is a close up of the Sushi Digi's and the dimension I added to this card!

And I actually created the yellow and polka dot layer with my distress ink pads and then put a stencil over top and sponged in the green ink for the polka dots. I then traced all the dots with one of my black doodle pens. Then I used that pen to help draw my flower stems and the road. last but not least I added some stickles and Sunny Day Sequins to the middle of the flowers. I am so excited for back to school!

I started off creating this card using a kraft card base and then I cut out this super cute stitched scallop die from the CDD "Fancy Frame Dies"! I then ran this watercolor sheet through my Big Shot using one of my embossing folders. Then I used my distress inks to create the colorful background. This cute "Coffee Time Kitty" image came from CDD as well. I colored her up using my spectrum noir markers and then also used my white gel pen to add highlights as well as some fo-stitching around the card base. The sentiment came from CDD stamp set "Baked With Love" even though this set at first sight may look like a Christmas set it is really so much more! This set is actually one of my go-to's! And what is one of my cards without some kind of glitter so I added some gold sparkle twine from my stash as well as some stickles on the cute Digi!

Teacher Card Featuring CDD Digi Hippo Ice Cream!

Hello everyone here today to share a card I created last week for my daughter's teacher. When I seen this "Hippo Ice Cream"  Digi I knew it was a must have. I had so much fun coloring this cutie with my Spectrum Noir markers. But to be honest I didn't know what I wanted to use it for until I seen this sentiment from Craftin Desert Diva's  "School Zone" stamp set. Then it clicked yes the girls need cards for their teachers. Honestly I think this card would be perfect for even a fellow parent to cheer them up that school is out lol! But no really it is such a fun image to color and the ideas are endless. I also used CDD "Fancy Frame Dies" and "Pink and Blue Heart Sequins". Oh and if you have ever ordered from Craftin Desert Divas you may recognize the purple ribbon on my card!? Yep that is right I save that pretty ribbon she packages her stamps with and use it for other projects. Hope you all enjoyed my card as much as I did creating it! Thank you all for stopping by today it means so much! Hope you all have a fabulous day!

Also don't forget to go check out all the amazing new Digi's CDD has over in her shop. I can't wait to share more Digi's with you and how I create with them. My kids love them as well so hint hint ( keeps the kids busy while you craft too)!

Craftin Desert Diva Digi Coffee Card!

Hello everyone! I am so excited you are here today to check out the card I created! I made this card using Craftin Desert Divas "Fancy Frame Dies". The first layer I used a pieces of watercolor paper and ran it through one of my embossing folders. I then used Picked Raspberry, Scattered Straw, and Spun Sugar distress inks to blend on top of the embossing. I took a pieces of vellum and cut out another layer using the dies and white embossed the greeting with the Craftin Desert Diva stamp set "Kitchen Cuties". Tied some twine around those two layers and colored up this cute Coffee cup digi from Craftin Desert Diva using my spectrum noir markers. This image is called "Coffee Couple"! I then made some polka dots all over the cup with a white get pen and pop dotted it up. I took some "Pink Heart" Craftin Desert Diva sequins and scattered them around the card. This card was so much fun to create! I hope you can come and join us on our Month long June Digi "Coffee" challenge in the CDD Gallery.

I made a scrapbook layout for this super fun linky party!!! I first colored up this Digi stamp "Pretty Little Lady" and fussy cut her out and added glitter to her wings and skirt. I also used my white gel pen to add some spots to the mushrooms along with fo-stitching around the entire layout. Then I used the "Fancy Frame Dies" for some of the layers.  "Fairy Dust Sequins" I thought was perfect to sprinkle on this layout to give a little more sparkle to this layout lol! One of my girls has already requested this to be her page.It always makes me happy when my girls get just as excited as me when I create. I am so excited to now be apart of the CDD Digi DT and I can't wait to share what else I create with the fabulous Digi Stamps! Thank you so much for taking the time to stop by my blog today!
