Die Cuttin' Divas Challenge #223 Fun with Puns

Hey everybody!

I hope you all are having a great week so far! Happy Tuesday :) This week for me is extra busy, with exams in nearly every class. Lots of studying around my house :)  With all this work, the Challenge at the Die Cuttin' Divas had perfect timing! I have a simple sense of humor, and puns are my favorite! 

For my card I made it a little nautical with images from the Cricut Library. I'm not sure of the cartridge, but I know it is one that I already own. I used DCWV cardstock and enamel dots from the Paper Studio. My 6 year old has already stolen it to put in his treasure box because he said it's a boy card and I never make boy cards. These kids crack me up! 

I hope you all love puns as much as I do and decide to join us at the Die Cuttin' Divas! Don't forget the die cuts! Have a wonderful weekend! See you all next week! Thanks for reading!!

Die Cuttin' Divas Cahllenge #232 3-D Challenge

Hello Crafty Friends!!

I hope you are all doing well! I am going to jump right in to this week's challenge at the Die Cuttin Divas, mostly because I am so excited about it! The challenge is a 3-D challenge! I love all of the 3-D projects made by my fellow DT Divas!

As most of you know, my baby sister just went away to college. We are still decorating her room. When I saw the grey and white patterned canvases at Michael's over the summer, I knew they had to be in her room. She and I discussed it and decided giant flowers in the middle would look the best, and to my dismay, none of the silk flowers were the right color. Then, LIGHTBULB! I have a die cutting machine!! The idea was born, and with this challenge it came to life. I am so excited about how well it turned out, and even more excited for all of the other colors we will do!

The paper is from The Paper Studio, I needed a paper that was a little soft so I could manipulate the edges. For shimmer I used a Wink of Stella pen.

I haven't shown her yet, I hope she will think it looks as great as I do! I'm so excited to see all of your 3-D Projects at the Die Cuttin' Divas this week! Thanks for reading! See you next week!

Die Cuttin' Divas Challenge #231 Sketch Challenge

Hello Crafty Friends!

I apologize for my late post. I was having some major technical issues. This has been a week of disasters around here. I have to stay positive because I know it will all turn around from here. This week at the Die Cuttin' Divas we are having a sketch challenge. These challenges always end up being my favorite, with everyone adding their own little spin on it there are so many different variations. 

My patterned papers are from Pebbles Garden Party and the solids are all from Colobok. The enamel dots are all from The Paper Studio and the die cut is from the Cricut store. I believe its originally from the Paperlace cartridge. I even used my explore to cut out the circles. This sketch was truly a blast to work with and I hope you all will try it too!

Thank you all so much for reading. I hope to see your sketch challenge cards over at the Die Cuttin' Divas. Don't forget your die cut! I hope all of my bad luck means extra good luck for all of you!! See you next week!
