October Sketch - Die Cuttin' Divas

Happy Tuesday everyone!  Welcome to a brand new challenge over at Die Cuttin Divas!  Today's challenge is a SKETCH challenge.  I can't wait to show you what I created.

Pretty cute, isn't it??  I used the adorable Fluffy Llama cutting file from Pretty Paper Pretty Ribbons.  I cut her on my Silhouette.  The sentiment is from one of my favorite basic sets - it's by TPC Studios "Greetings".

Happy Birthday

Happy Wednesday everyone!  It's challenge day over at Pause Dream Enjoy Challenges Parties - this week we are doing a special 2 week challenge, that we are hosting with Double Trouble Challenges.  We were challenged to create a BIRTHDAY project. Here is what I created.

I found this fun file in the Silhouette Store, and thought it was just perfect for today's challenge!  It is a gatefold style card, which is unusual for me.  The sentiment is from an old TPC Studio stamp set called "Greetings"

I hope you all play along with us!  I can't wait to see what you create!  Be sure to join us every week!

Die Cuttin Divas - Birthday

Happy Tuesday everyone!  Welcome to a brand new challenge over at Die Cuttin Divas!  Today's challenge is BIRTHDAY.  I can't wait to show you what I created.

I decided to make tags with a fabulous set of dies from Spellbinder.  They are the Shapeabilities Layered Happy Birthday Etched Dies.  Spellbinder is our FABULOUS sponsor this week, and I was gifted this set of dies to create my project.  My style of crafting is very simple, so I decided to let the dies be the star, and make very simple tags.  I love how they turned out!

Die Cuttin Divas - Anything Goe

Happy Tuesday everyone!  Welcome to a brand new challenge over at Die Cuttin Divas!  Today's challenge is ANYTHING GOES.  I can't wait to show you what I created.

I decided to make a cute little card set, using one of my favorite ever cartridges - Create a Critter!  I used matching paper to help tie the cards together.  Each of the cute little animals is saying "Hello".  I used 3 different sentiment sets.  The hippo's hello, is from Pretty Cute Stamps.  The duck and panda's hellos are from TPC Studio "Greetings".  The hedgehog's hello is from.... not sure, I'll have to check my craft room.

World Hello Day

Happy Tuesday everyone!  Welcome to a brand new challenge over at Die Cuttin Divas!  Today is WORLD HELLO DAY, so we are making projects to celebrate.  I can't wait to show you what I created.

This time of year, I always pull out my Cricut and Gypsy girl.  Create a Critter is one of my favorite cartridges.  I created a shape card with the igloo, and cut out the cutie penguin and VOILA!

The sentiment is from an old set that I bought years ago - TPC Studio "Greetings" I use it quite a bit.  It has some great basic sentiments.

Die Cuttin Divas - Sequins

Happy Tuesday everyone!  Welcome to a brand new challenge over at Die Cuttin Divas!  Today's challenge is to add SEQUINS.  I can't wait to show you what I created.

I decided to create a shaker tag, with glitter as my "shaker".  The cutie otter, who I colored with my Prismacolor pencils, is from MFT's "Otterly Love You"

The tag is from Your Next Stamps "Cool Tags 3"  This is such a fun, versatile set.

The sentiment is from TPC Studios "Greetings".  This is an old and I'm sure retired set.  I love this set, and use it all the time!

A Birthday Card for my Mama

Happy Thursday!  Today is my Mum's birthday.  She is crafty too, so I bought her a crafty gift, and made her set of mongram cards which I will show you next week, and I made her a card.  Here is what I came up with:

Isn't it pretty?  2 weeks ago - my fellow Cricut Cardz Design Team member Nicole, made THIS beautiful card.  I thought it was gorgeous, so I decided to make my own take on it.  I cut the top layer at 4 x 5.25 on my Gypsy girl.  I welded a 1.8 inch circle to the center of it.  I then cut out 2 more circles for the other two flowers to sit on.  The tulips are cut from Give a Hoot.  The sentiment is from TPC Studios Greeting set.  The ribbon is from Michaels and the paper is a mish mash of Stampin Up, Recollections and stuff from my scrap box.

You can see here how I pop-dotted each if the layers up.  I like the dimension it gives the "white on white" look of the card.  I hope Mum likes it :)

A challenge or two for my card:
Bitten by the Bug - in the garden
Fab'n'Funky - celebrations
Celebrate the Occasion - anything goes
Party Time Tuesdays - anything goes
Shopping Our Stash - floral
Robyn's Fetish - birthday card with sentiment
Sentimental Sundays - pocket full of posies
Cooking With Cricut - may flowers
