PPPR dt (final post) - You Perk Me Up

Happy Wednesday to you!!  Hope your week is going well and if not, hey - you are halfway to the weekend!!  Today is a bittersweet post for me - this is my last post for the Pretty Paper, Pretty Ribbons design team.  I have been working with Lisa since September 2012!!  I have loved working with her and all of the different DT members these past four years!!  For my last post I made a BIG card!!

My card is a 6x6 square card and I just love all things to do with tea even though I am really a coffee drinker.  I like to collect tea cups and tea pots and love the idea of having a tea party with friends so I was inspired by this cute set from PPPR - "Tea Time Cutting Files" .  I also used a doily from the "Doilies 1 Cutting Files" and then cut it in half and layered it under my teacup.

I hope I have inspired you to be creative today :-)  Once again here are the files I used for my card.  I absolutley love all of Lisa's images because they always evoke a happy feeling with their fun facial expressions!!  Have a great day and thanks for stopping by today!!

Happy Labor Day!! Today is my turn to post over on the Pretty Paper, Pretty Ribbons blog and I have a simple but fun card to share with you -

I love anything to do with coffee!!  Pretty Paper, Pretty Ribbons has some super cute coffee images and this newest one is so cute I couldn't wait to use it on a card.  I often find Lisa's images so adorable that I just want them to be front and center on my cards.  To create this card I used PPPR's "Iced Coffee" cutting files.  Never hurts to have extra thank you cards on hand does it??

Thanks for stopping by today!!  Have a great holiday weekend and I hope you get a bit of crafty time in too ;)

Thanks a Bunch!! PPPR dt

Hello and happy Monday!!  Today is my turn over on the Pretty Paper, Pretty Ribbons' blog and I have a fun card to share with you -

I just love the "Silly Fruit "cutting files set!!  I mean how can you go wrong with fun fruit??  I wanted to play around with this set again and this time I really wanted to use the grapes.  I found the perfect sentiment stamp to go with it and voila!!  a card is made!  I never seem to have enough "thank you" and "birthday" cards and my goal right now is to stock up.  The image is so cute that I made it large and gave it center attention on my card.  

I added a few sequins and some pen doodles to finish off my card.  I know this is not going to be the last "Silly Fruit" cutting file I play around with ;) 

Thanks for stopping by today!!

Wine Bottle Gift Tag - PPPR dt

Today is my turn to post over on the Pretty Paper, Pretty Ribbons' Blog and I have a fun project to share with you.  I wanted to give some wine to a couple of friends as a thank you gift and came up with this -

I used the Pretty Paper, Pretty Ribbons' "Bottle Tag 1" cutting files along with a strawberry from the "Strawberry Basket" cutting files to create these tags for my wine bottles.  I stamped a quick thank you and voila!! my gifts were ready.  I had no real reason why I chose the strawberry theme - just liked the paper and the cute cutting file ;) !!

Thanks for stopping by today!!

Die Cuttin Divas Guest Designer

Today I am exited to be a guest designer over at the Die Cuttin Divas Blog.  The theme for the new challenge is "Superheros" and this is what I came up with -

I decided to do an easel card as I haven't made one of those in ages!!  My fearless kitty is from the Pretty Paper, Pretty Ribbons' Super Cat Cutting Files.

I die cut an oval shape out of purple pattern paper to make it look like my cat was sitting on a pretty cushion.  My sentiment and the paw prints are from a couple of Craftin Desert Divas stamp sets.  

I am going to use this as a thank you card - again another one for the wedding!!  I had so many great people helping me out and I have just the right person in mind for this one!!  

Thanks for stopping by today and thank you Georgianna for having me be a part of the Die Cuttin Divas challenge this week.

Hello Sunshine!! - PPPR dt

Happy Monday!!!  Today is my turn to post over on the Pretty Paper, Pretty Ribbons Blog and I have a card to share -

My card is 5 inches square since I wanted to make my cut file images as large as possible so that they were the focus of the card.  I designed this card to give as a thank you to a friend who recently treated me to my first spray tan ;)  I wanted to cover up some "imperfections" on my legs so that I would look like  a "hot mama" for my daughter's wedding, LOL!!

To create my card I used two files from Pretty Paper, Pretty Ribbons -

"Sunscreen Cutting files" 
 and

"Day at the Beach cutting files"

One more look - 

I used foam tape to help create some dimension on my card and stamped a cute Peachy Keen face on my sun.  I added a tiny sentiment from a Cardz TV Stamps set.
