Here's what I've created for you...

I just love this release!! to create this card I first made my background using Ranger Distress Inks and CDD Outdoor Landscape Dies. Here is a fabulous tutorial on creating a background like this: https://youtu.be/jFOGI6XZN1k

Once the background was finished I added my snow covered ground cut from the Outdoor Landscape Dies and then cut the panel with the new CDD In Line Dies. I added a scallop circle from the new CDD Stitched in Circles Dies behind my panel and topped it off with the Mini Banner Die (Free to the first 60 orders, $40 minimum before taxes and shipping!) .

These little snow critters are just too cute! They are from the new CDD Chilly Stamps. I stamped them with Moment London Fog ink and colored them with Copic markers.

I added a few heat embossed snowflakes included in the Chilly set finished my card off with a sentiment from the new Tis the Season stamp set.

This is a super fun release and I have loved playing with the stamps and dies!!

For this card I created my base and speech bubble with the CDD In Line Dies. 

My sentiment was stamped with the new Tis the Season stamp set and I add some Jingle Jangle Sequins.

 My cute little reindeer is from KaDoodle Bug Designs called Cutie KaToodles - Rudy Deer. I pieced him altogether and added some white flock to his hat. Some sparkle was added to his eyes with my Clear Wink of Stella pen and the sparkle on his nose is from from Christmas Red Stickles. I covered both the eyes and nose with Glossy Accents.

You're One of a Kind ~ Craftin Desert Divas Sneak Peek

Hi there! This week Craftin Desert Divas is displaying sneak peeks for the October stamps and dies that will be released later this week!

Today we are featuring the new Chilly Stamps and Stitched in Circle Dies.

Here is what I put together.

The images and sentiment are all from the Chilly stamp set. I heat embossed the sentiment and colored the narwhal with my Copic markers. 

I cut the circle and scallop circle from the new Stitched in Circles dies. I used Distress Inks for the background on the circle and added some Clear Wink of Stella to the water, ice, and narwhal.

Head on over to the Craftin Desert Divas Facebook Page to participate in the Facebook Hop. There is a free cut file up for grabs!

Stay tuned for more sneak peeks coming this week!

Sending Sweet Wishes!!

Hi crafty friends! It's my day to post on the KaDoodle Bug Designs Blog and this is what I am sharing!

Fall is in full swing and when I think of fall caramel apples do come to mind, especially with all the fall festivals happening at this time of year.

I love this Cutie KaToodles Caramel Apple Goat. She is just too sweet. I cut her at the size she imported in to my software so she is a good size. 

I created the base of my card with some brand new dies from Craftin Desert Divas. The design team is doing sneak peeks of them today!! These are called In Line Dies and will be available for purchase later this week.

My sentiment comes from Craftin Desert Divas Garden Cuties stamps.

You can't tell in the photo very well but I added some clear Wink of Stella to her eyes and some Glossy Accents to the caramel.

There are so many wonderful Cutie KaToodles in the KBD shop. I wish I had more time to put them together!!

Have a fabulous week, everyone!!

Frankie's House ~ Craftin Desert Divas Daily Post

Hi there, Everyone!

It's my turn to post on the Craftin Desert Divas Blog and this is what I am sharing.

With Halloween just around the corner I wanted to be sure to use my CDD Fright Night Stamps before it was too late!

I first cut Frankie's House with my Silhouette and glued it together. The house is a cut file from My Scrap Chick called Country Village Tall House Box. I enlarged it to fit my mat. Then fun part, decorating it!

I used CDD Fright Night Stamps for my images. My cat and bat were colored with Copic markers

I decided to heat emboss the ghost on some vellum I love the way he looks. To enhance the house a bit more I used the CDD Pocket Pieces Hi Dies and texture was added to the door and shutters with an embossing folder. My little Frankie is another cut file from My Scrap Chick but I was unable to link it. Doesn't he look cute with his monster face!! I used PK-693 Monster Mash Face Stamps from Peachy Keen Stamps.

This was super fun and easy to put together!

Here are the CDD products I used today:

Fright Night

Pocket Pieces Hi Dies

Thanks for joining me today!!

Two For Tuesday ~ Divas Duel with Craftin Desert Divas

Hi Everyone! Welcome to my blog!

Today I am participating in Craftin Desert Divas Two For Tuesday. It is a day that tow of the designers create something using the same stamps or dies. It is a Divas Duel!!

My duel is with my sweet design team sister Nicole. For our duel we diced to use the CDD Party Dies.

Here is what I created:

I was in need of another birthday card and this one is for a male friend so I took the opportunity to create a more masculine card.

I used all solid colored cardstock and die cut a bunch of balloons and presents to create a top and bottom border for my card.

The sentiment is from CDD Say It Big Stamps. I stamped it in the center and then added some CDD sequins that I pick out from various mixes. After all, a birthday card needs to have sequins!! 

After my card was created I asked my husband if he thought it would work for a man's birthday card and he gave the stamp of approval!

Be sure to visit Nicole's blog to see what she created with these dies!

Check out the Craftin Desert Divas Blog for daily inspiration.

Have a Happy Tuesday, Everyone!!

Simply Hi ~ Craftin Desert Divas Linky Party

Today is the Craft It Up & Link It Up Linky Party hosted by Tara of Craftin Desert Divas! Every other Monday will mark the beginning of a new semi-weekly linky party and you could win fabulous prizes!!

 Welcome to our mid post for this week's "Things with Wings" challenge.

Here is what I created.

I really tried to go with a clean and simple card but this is the best I could do. :P 

I started with a white card base and layered it with black and yellow cardstock. The yellow piece and th white embossed piece were cut with CDD Fancy Frames Dies. I embossed my white layer with a Cuttlebug embossing folder called Honeycomb. The edges were inked with Spiced Marmalade Distress Ink.

My cute little image is from CDD Lil' Bit Buggie stamp set. I colored her with Copic markers and added some white gel pen accents. Although, you cannot see it well in the picture the wings were coated with some clear Wink of Stella. I popped my lil' bee up on some foam tape above my Hi sentiment. This Hi is part of the new Pocket Pieces Hi Dies from CDD. The Hi was die cut multiple time in black and yellow cardstock. I glued the layers together to create a more of chipboard look and offset the black and yellow layers a bit.

I hope you can join us by linking up your project!
