Selfie - Craftin Desert Diva

Happy Friday everyone!  It is my day to post over on Craftin Desert Divas.  I have a super cute card to share with you today.  I used two of Tara's newly released  stamp sets to create this card, and you can buy them both HERE.



Cute, isn't it?  The SVG is from Too Cute by Jessica's "I Love my Selfie".  You can find it HERE.  The larger Chevron Frame from Picture That, fits perfectly on the frame the little girl is peeking out of.  Isn't that awesome?!  I also used  the Studio file that comes with Picture That.  The arrow is stamped on it - so easy to cut out, especially when you hate fussy cutting as much as I do ;)  The sentiment is from Destination Fun and I thought it was perfect for this card.

Below are pictures of the stamp sets I used.  The arrow is from Picture That and the sentiment is from Destination Fun.  They are both great sets, and I needed to add them to my growing collection of Crafting Desert Diva stamps!




Be sure to pop over to the Craftin Desert Diva blog every day. There is inspiration there every day using Tara's fabulous stamps!

Craftin Desert Diva May Release Blog Hop

Happy Saturday everyone!  Welcome to Craftin Desert Divas May Stamp Release Blog Hop!  If you have arrived here from the "other" Michelle's blog, then you are in the right place!  If not, be sure to start back at Tara's blog.  We can finally show you all 5 of the sets in this release!  You are going to LOVE them!!  They are all available in the STORE.  Here we go!!

Celebrate Freedom:

Destination Fun:

Happy Celebrations:
Picture That: which comes with a Studio file for people like me who don't love fussy cutting ;)


Picture This: comes with a Studio file too!

                                                      

Aren't they fabulous?  My projects are using the sentiment "Perfect Day" from Picture That.  Here is what I created:



My first project  is a gift card holder.  It is one of the Christmas ones from the Silhouette Store (Design 50749).  I just cut out the base and then dressed her up.  The cuts are all fro Too Cute By Jessica's "Spa Day".  Having a pedi and a massage is one of my favorite ways to relax, and I thought this would be the perfect holder for a gift card to the spa - talk about a perfect day!  

On to my second project:



How is this not the perfect day?  I found this cut at the Silhouette Store (Design #30843).  I love it's simplicity.  The versatility of this set, makes it perfect for scrappers and card makers alike, and I've been told they would be perfect for Project Life projects.  Isn't that awesome?!

For this release, Tara has decided to offer a bundle.  You get all 5 stamp sets for $65.45 including shipping.  It is a saving of $10 - due to the set up of the cart, $2.50 will be charged for shipping but the amount has been deducted from the overall price of the stamps!


Every purchase of Craftin Desert Diva stamps will get Too Cute by Jessica's All That Glitters for free!

Here is the full blog hop list for today and tomorrow.  Your next stop is the ever brilliant Migdalia.  You can find her blog HERE.

Be sure to hop with us both today and tomorrow.  Tara is giving away a set of stamps each day, Jessica of TCBJ is giving away a $25 gift card to her store.
