Ride The Waves!!

Happy Tuesday everyone!! I hope you are having a great week so far!! It's my turn to post on the Craftin Desert Diva's blog and I have a project to share with you today using Tara's awesome new Summer Lovin' and Teenage Dream stamp sets!!

I am so loving these new stamps...so many fun uses!! I created a surfing-themed card to showcase the sentiments. The background paper is from Recollections. Spellbinders Standard Circles Large were used to cut the circles and the edges were sanded. The surfers are from Taylored Expression's Ride the Waves stamp set.

The waves are a Taylored Expressions Ride The Wave Border die. The surfboards are Taylored Expressions Surfboard die, with matching stamps from the Ride The Waves stamp set.

The banner is a Spellbinders Nautical Frames and Accents die. Ride the Waves is from the Summer Lovin' stamp set. #Dope and...

...#awesomity are from the Teenage Dream stamp set:

  

You can purchase both of these sets, along with the fun Punny set at the Craftin Desert Divas Shop. And we would love to see your projects using any of the three stamp sets in our Craftin Desert Divas Gallery.

I am entering this in the following challenges:

I took this on Sunday...my first Daffodil of the year!! Okay, so it's not totally open yet, but it's close!! It's rained practically non-stop since so I couldn't go out and get a picture when it was fully open. But it still makes me happy to look at :) Thanks so much for stopping by!!

Happy Monday!! I hope you had a wonderful weekend!! Did you get the chance to hop along with the first ever Craftin Desert Divas Stamp Release Party??!! Aren't Tara's new stamps awesome??!! I am so excited for her and her new venture!! I have a project to share with you today using her new Teenage Dream stamp set :)

I have several new products I've been dying to use so I created this tag. My dear, sweet friend Dee of Dee B's sent me some absolutely amazing goodies to play with, including the awesome Tim Holtz Sketch stamp set (she knows how much I adore Tim!!) Thanks again for everything, Dee!! My sweet friend Karen of Little Scrap Pieces sent the gorgeous crinkle ribbon. Thanks again, Karen!! I started with a tag from Prima's Doll Tag Pad and inked the edges with TH Vintage Photo Distress Ink.

The shield from Tim's Sketch set was stamped on white cardstock and then inked with Walnut Distress Ink. It was then fussy cut and adhered to the tag. Becky is another new item I couldn't wait to ink up. She's a Julie Nutting Prima Doll stamp. She was stamped on old book paper and popped up with foam tape. The papers are from FarmHouse Paper Company's Fair Skies paper stack, and the edges were inked with Walnut Distress Ink. The two Silver pieces on each side of Becky are also a gift from Dee...they are from Recollections.

The silver borders and arrows are from TH's new Idea-ology Industrious Borders Stickers. They were attached with Tim's Tiny Attacher. I also used a couple of the borders for Becky's shirt.

The banner is from the same TH Sketch set. It was inked with Walnut Distress Ink and fussy cut. The awesome and adorable sentiment, #toocute4u is from Craftin Desert Diva's Teenage Dream stamp set. You can purchase it at the new Craftin Desert Diva's store HERE. It was heat embossed with TH Fired Brick Distress Embossing Powder.
