Black, white and a splash of color linky Party over at CDD

Good morning y'all! Today starts a new Linky Party over at Craftin' Desert Divas.  The theme is Black, White and a splash of color. I used my Stitched In Circle scallop die to make the round layer.  Next I added the banner die from the Mix- It up die set which I stamped "Congrats on your new home" from the HOME SWEET HOME stamp set.  

To tie in my "pop" of orange I added some of the flower sequins called FROM THE GARDEN. For the leaves I used my AUTUMN WISHES STAMP/DIE BUNDLE since they were a perfect size and accessory for my flower sequins.

I hope you come on over and play along with us over on the CDD Blog!  I would love to see your "splash" of color!!

HAPPY CRAFTING!

Supplies used:

Stitched In Circle dies

Hope this makes you smile.......

Good morning y'all!  Today is my day on the CDD blog to host the daily post. I was so tired of the cold weather I wanted to change the pace and have something to look forward to!! lol

To make the background I stamped the whole background with the circle stamp from the Across the Border stamp set and used clear embossing powder on it.  Then I used two tones of Tim Holtz blue inks and 2 of green to make the colors on the background.  I ended up putting glossy accents on all the circles to make it pop up with a pretty glossy look.  

I colored up several of the large daisy flowers from the HOME SWEET HOME stamp set then cut them out and layered them across the bottom. I added some glossy accents as well as some Wink of Stella markers to make them sparkle.

Next I colored up a butterfly from the JUST BUG-CAUSE stamp set and popped it up above the flowers. I used the banner die from the MIX IT UP DIE set to stamp the sentiment from the GARDEN CUTIES set. To finish the card off I added some of the new Matte Doodlebug GIRL ASSORTMENT sprinkles.

Thank you for stopping by today!

Have a great day & HAPPY CRAFTING!

Dies & Punches over at the Sisterhood

Good morning y'all! Today starts a new challenge over at the Sisterhood of Crafters.  My Sistah' Vickie has chosen a theme of "USING DIES & PUNCHES".  The challenge lasts about 2 weeks so you have plenty of time to come on over and play along with us.

I have had this thought in my mind for some time to make this style card.  I got some new Doodlebug SPRING GARDEN Paper pad and Sprinkles that were just released and for some reason when I saw the paper I thought, "Heck I am gonna do that idea!"...lol I thought it was perfect for this challenge theme.

 Close up of the stitched dies.  Sadly it doesn't show how awesome these dies are! It even leaves the stitching on the negative piece that you don't use.

First I used my Double Stitched Scallop dies from Craftin' Desert Divas along with one sheet of the double sided Doodlebug paper.  I simply would flip the paper back and forth to use both of the patterns and to achieve the stitching in the right areas.  Next I took the HELLO die from the CDD Pocket Pieces Hello die set in solid black and put it in the upper right hand corner.  Now I struggle big time with simple cards so I tried to to some things with the sentiment, HELLO.  Well after redoing the card 2 times and the word HELLO 7 times I gave up and said NOPE, no more for me!! Simple it is!!! LOL I honestly don't know why I struggle so much with simple card!! It should be the easiest!!! To finish the card off I used the new Doodlebug Bright MATTE Sprinkles.

Have a great day!

HAPPY CRAFTING!
