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.

Punny Linky Party - Craftin Desert Diva

Happy Monday everyone!  We are mid-way through the current Linky Party at Craftin Desert Diva's, and it is Team B's turn to inspire you!  Tara challenged us to create a project using PUNS.  Here is what I have created for today:

I decided to make a little set of cards featuring Tara's Punny stamp set.  You can buy your own HERE.  I have recently become obsessed with these cute little Chibi characters created by Annie over at SVG Cutting Files, I thought they were perfect for this little set of cards.

I hope you all come play with us!  There is still 1 week left in our party, so be sure to link up by May 25th.  There are great prizes for a few lucky participants, so get your crafty on!  I can't wait to see what you come up with.

Happy Tuesday everyone!  It's linky party day over at Pause Dream Enjoy.  Today, Janis challenged us to make a project showcasing BUGS!!  Here is what I created:

Isn't it cute?!  The bee and tag are both from Miss Kate Cuttables.  I made a shadow for my tag with my Silhouette.  The patterned paper is old Creative Memories and the card stock is from Michaels.  I doodled around with my Sakura Jelly Roll pens and popped it up with some foam tape.  My cutie sentiment is from Cardz TV Stamps "Birds and Bees" sentiment set.

The challenge starts today and ends   .  Please hop over to Pause Dream Enjoy, see what the rest of the Design Divas came up with, and play along with us.  I can't wait to see what you come up with!
