Capture the Good Times - Picture Perfect

Happy Wednesday!! I hope you are having a fabulous week!! It's my turn to post on the Craftin Desert Divas blog and I project with you today featuring the CDD Capture the Good Times stamp set.

For this card, I used papers from Prima's Free Spirit paper stack. The edges were distressed with a Zutter DIA. The frame is a Die-Versions Smile Sweet Frame. It was popped up with foam tape for dimension. The button on the twine is a Die-Versions Wee Petites Button die.

I also had to use one of the adorable piggies from the CDD Just Pigcause stamp set!! Isn't she just picture perfect??!! She was paper pieced with just a touch of pink Prismacolor pencils.

Here's a close-up of the adorable sentiment!!

Happy Tuesday, everyone!! I hope your week is going well so far :) It's my turn to share a project with you today on the Craftin Desert Divas blog.

I am featuring the CDD Blooming For You stamp set today. I just love this set - so many fabulous sentiments plus an adorable bear :)

Heavyweight Kraft cardstock from The Paper Studio was used for the base. The papers are from Prima, and the edges were distressed with a Zutter DIA. I did something I haven't done in a while...I stitched the papers on the card. I used a strip of corrugated cardboard on the bottom and dry brushed it with Tim Holtz Picket Fence Distress Ink. The flowers are also from TPS, and I dry brushed Picket Fence on them as well. Floral Vines from Memory Box were cut in vellum and tucked among the blooms, as was hemp twine.

The tag is a Spellbinders Back to Basics tag. I used "Thanks a Bunch" from Blooming for You.

You can purchase this stamp set, as well as all of the stamps at the Craftin Desert Divas Shop. And we would love to see your projects using any of the stamp sets in our Craftin Desert Divas Gallery.

Bloom Where You're Planted

Happy Wednesday!! I hope you are having a wonderful week!! I've been out of town for a few days so I'm hoping this posts when it is supposed to :) It's my turn to post on the Craftin Desert Divas blog and I have a card to share with you using the new Blooming For You stamp set.

The papers are from Prima's Natures Garden stack. The edges were distressed with a DIA. The strip of butterflies down the side is Tim Holtz Tissue Tape.

The stamp is a Tim Holtz Spring Sprung. It was stamped with Wendy Vecchi Fern Green Archival Ink and then stamped again without reinking for s ghosting effect. The butterflies are a punch and they were covered with Doodlebug Designs Sugar Coating. The crinkle ribbon is from my sweet friend Karen of Little Scrap Pieces. The button is a Die-Versions Wee Petites Button die.

The frame is from The Paper Studio Spare Parts. Bloom Where You're Planted is from the Blooming for You stamp set. I heat embossed the sentiment with white embossing powder to match the frame.

You can purchase this stamp set, as well as all of the stamps at the Craftin Desert Divas Shop. And we would love to see your projects using any of the stamp sets in our Craftin Desert Divas Gallery.
