Craftin Desert Divas March Release Blog Hop Day 2

Welcome to the CDD March Stamp Release Blog Hop. 
All stamps are in the CDD Shop and now available for purchase HERE.


       










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


My first card was created using the new Farm Living stamps. I took kraft colored cardstock to create myt base and splattered it with Mr. Huey's Opaque White Color Mist. I used the Stitched In Circles  Die for my scallop circle. On top of that I added a frame that was created with the Mix It Up Dies. I added a tag from that same dies set.


I added my little pig from the new Farm Living set. I colored him with Copic markers. Doesn't he look sad? Lastly I added a sentiment from the same set. It was stamped on the speech bubble from the Mix It Up dies. A few Doodle Bugs Sprinkles and a little Baker's twine and it was finished!


My next card featured the cute little leopard from the new Spots mini stamp. I cute a red card base and layered a watercolored panel on top that was cut using the Fancy Frame Dies. I added a cloud from The Sky is the Limit Dies and that I embossed with an embossing folder. My leopard is holding a balloon from CDD Party Dies. It was ink with Candied Apple Distress Ink.


I colored this cute little leopard with Copic Markers, I stamped my sentiment and added some Fairy Dust Sequins. I love this simple card!

Hogs & Kisses ~ Craftin Desert Divas Daily Post

Hi There! I hope you all are having a great week!!

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


This card features the little piggy from CDD Just Pigcause stamps. I have been having some fun joining in a coloring challenge and colored this sweet girl up! My grandmother loved pigs and even collected them. She passed away many years ago but this little pig reminds me of her and this card would have been perfect to give her. I loved my little grandma!!

For this card I created a Kraft card base and embossed it with a Sizzix embossing folder. I added a scallop circle that I cut with the CDD Stitched in Circles Die and layered a note card from CDD Pocket Pieces Hello Dies on top of it. I just love this patterned paper from Doodle Bug Designs called Sweet Things. It can be found in the CDD Shop along with several other designs.


I colored the little piggy with Copic markers and popped her up on my card. The sentiment is from the same Just Pigcause stamp set. 

For a finishing touch I added a few hearts that were cut from the CDD Heart of Heart Die. I love that you can get so many different sized hearts from this one die!! It's awesome!! It's hard to see but I covered those hearts with some Clear Wink of Stella for some added sparkle. :)

Well, that's it for me today!! 

Thank you for joining me!!


These are the products I used in the creation of this card.

Here is what I created..


To create this card I started by blending Distress Ink on my die cut panel that was cut with Craftin Desert Divas Fancy Frame Dies. I used Spun Sugar, Worn Lipstick, and Candied Apple. A few sprinkles of water and my background was complete. 

I added a heart from CDD Heart of Heart Die. After I die cut the heart I fussy cut around it, sprayed it with adhesive, and sprinkled it with some Martha Stewart glitter.  The heart was adhered to the background, as well as, a few of the hearts that were left over from the die cut. My sentiment is from CDD Sweet Kisses stamp set and so is my cute little mouse.


I colored the mouse with Copic Markers and added a few white gel pen dots. Isn't this mouse a cutie!!

I hope you will join in the fun and link up your shaped card project!

Perk Up, Little Monster!

Hi there! I hope you all are having a good week! The weekend is almost here and we are all excited about that!!

Today I wanted to share a card just for fun!! Imagine that! Sometimes you can get bogged down with obligations that you forget to craft just for fun. Well, this card is a just for fun card.


After Christmas I was doing a little shopping on the JoAnn website and this little guy caught my eye. This is a stamp from Whipper Snapper Designs, Inc. called Monster Morning. I just thought he was the cutest and I couldn't resist putting him in my cart.

I stamped him on some watercolor cardstock and used my Zig Clean Color Real Brush Pens to color him up. My sweet daughter gave me these pens for Christmas and I have to say so far I am loving them!

After he was finished I cut him with Craftin Desert Divas Fancy Frame Dies. I added the scallop border from CDD Stitched Scallop Dies for a little more whimsy.


I just had to give him pink fuzzy slippers!! I paired him with a sentiment from CDD Got Coffee stamps.


I don't know if you are able to tell but I added a bit of clear Wink of Stella to finish him off.

I'm hoping to get in a bit more of coloring time soon. I have a bunch of stamps that need a little love!

How about you?

Have you created anything just for the fun of it? If not, Give it a try! It's good for the soul!
