Hearts in Heart Shaker Card

Happy Tuesday!! I hope you are having a wonderful week!! It's my turn to post on the Die-Versions blog today, and I have a couple of cards to share with you using several Die-Versions dies.

The beautiful papers are from Craft and You Designs (from Poland). When I first saw the Whispers Hearts in Heart die, I thought it would make a beautiful shaker element on a card, so I turned it into one using chunky iridescent glitter. I added a smaller Wee Petites Heart Doodle covered in glitter to the top.

A Whispers Ring of Hearts die and a Whispers Stitched Nesting Circles die were added behind the heart, as was a Whispers Heart Border die. The beautiful ribbons are from DL.ART.

A Sweet Wordlet Happy and Sweet Wordlet Birthday die was used for this sentiment for this card.

A Sweet Wordlet Happy and Sweet Worldet Mother's Day was used for this one.

Thanks so much for stopping by and I hope you'll come back tomorrow...I have some exciting news to share with you!! Have a great day :)

Happy Thursday!! I leave tomorrow for a two-week vacation (the ocean!! Yay!!) so I won't be around to visit you for a while. I have several DT posts scheduled so I hope you will stop by to visit while I'm gone. I'll be by to visit you when I get back :) It's time for a Thankful Thursday Challenge at DL.ART. The theme this week is Fall. Use the code l01210 to receive 10% off your order!!

For the base of these cards, I used papers from DCWV. The top layer is Ranger Specialty Stamping paper. It was stamped with a Darkroom Door text stamp and then heat embossed with Sparkle N Sprinkle White embossing powder. It was then inked with Tim Holtz Distress inks in Mustard Seed, Squeezed Lemonade, Ripe Persimmon and Spiced Marmalade. The edges were then inked with Walnut.

The tree is from Marianne Designs and it was adhered to a piece of clear plastic so that I could add a shaker behind. The gorgeous crinkle ribbon is St. Tropez Gold from the Tropical Summer bundle. The button is from Poppystamps and the twine is from the DL.ART Shop. The banner is from LaLa Crafts and the sentiment is from Craftin Desert Divas Hey Pumpkin stamp set.

This beautiful ribbon is RAO Red from the Newspaper Bundle. This sentiment is also from CDD's Hey Pumpkin stamp set.

Thanks so much for stopping by!! Have a great day :)

Find the Cure

Happy Monday!! I hope you had a wonderful weekend!! It's my turn to post on the Die-Versions Blog and I have a shaker card to share with you today. Hopefully you were able to join us for the Die-Versions / Sparkle N Sprinkle Awareness Blog Hop earlier this month. If you did, you saw some amazing projects using the new Awareness dies from Die-Versions and the new Awareness Stamp Set from Sparkle N Sprinkle. My card today features products from both.

For my card, I've used the Die-Versions Awareness Square Die, and turned it into a shaker. The papers are from Me and My Big Ideas I Believe In Pink Mambi stack. The center ribbon was cut out and heat embossed with Sparkle N Sprinkle Cotton Candy Embossing Powder. Find the Cure is from Sparkle N Sprinkle's Awareness Stamp Set.

Here's a better picture of the amazing shine from the SNS Embossing Powder. The lacy border along the bottom is a Die-Versions Whispers Lacey Dots die. The gorgeous crinkle ribbon is from Diana's DL.ART Vintage Vineyard set titled Rose'. The button in the center of the ribbon is a Die-Versions Wee Petites Button die.

A portion of the proceeds from the Die-Versions Awareness Dies and the Awareness Stamp Sets from Sparkle N Sprinkle will be donated to help cancer research.

Thanks so much for stopping by :)

Count Your Rainbows

Happy Monday!! I hope you had a wonderful Easter weekend :) It's my turn to post on the Die-Versions Blog and I have a project to share with you using my favorite die from the newest release: Whispers Rain Boots.

The papers are all from Prima. The Whispers Rain Boots were covered in Glossy Accents for that just rained-on look ;) The circular shaker window was cut out with a Party Time Sweet Spot die. The rainbow was created with a Whispers Lacey Dots die. You can't tell in the picture, but the strips were adhered to sticky tape and then the openings were covered with sugar coating for a pretty sparkle. Whispers Daisy Flair dies were adhered under the Wild Orchid Crafts flowers. The crinkle ribbon is from 3Girl Jam.

Thanks so much for stopping by!! I hope you have a wonderful week :)

My Craft Spot Stamp Release Day 2!!

Welcome to the My Craft Spot Stamp Release party!! I'm so excited to be guest designing again for this release!!

Today we are featuring the new O Holy Night stamp set and it is fabulous!! Throughout the week the design team will also be incorporating the new SVG files into their projects as well. (Unfortunately I won't until I get a cutting machine :)

For my project, I created a birdhouse shaker ornament :) I didn't write down the measurements as I made this...it was a lot of trial and error. So if anyone is interested, I can do a tutorial. The flowers are from Wild Orchid Crafts and the flourishes are from Cheery Lynn.

The hole and frame were created with My Craft Spot Tiny Doily Dies. MCS Snow Flurries Sequins and some glitter was used for the shaker. The sentiment is from O Holy Night and it was stamped on a MCS Tiny Doily Die.

MSC Twine was used to string the ornament.

Independence Day!!

Happy Wednesday!! I hope you are having a wonderful first week of June!! Wow, how is that possible?? It's my turn to post on the Craftin Desert Divas blog and I'm sharing a project with you using the new Celebrate Freedom stamp set from the May release.

I haven't made a shaker card since November 2011 (HERE), but after seeing so many gorgeous ones lately, I decided to make one for my stars and stripes card :) The star was cut with a Spellbinders Star die. The papers are from Bo Bunny's Anthem stack. The star was filled with iridescent sequins and stars punched with vellum. I used a Cuttlebug Stars embossing folder and Distressed Stripes embossing folder to mimic a flag. The edges were distressed with a Zutter DIA.

I used the Independence Day stamp and turned it on it's side. The banner is a Taylored Experssions die. The sentiment was heat embossed with red and blue embossing powders. The stars along the top were punched with cork paper. The gems are Prima Say It In Crystals.

Look at all the fun sentiments and designs on this set!! Perfect for your patriotic cards and projects!! You can purchase 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.
