Warm Winter Wishes - PPPR dt

Happy Monday!!  Today is my turn to share a project on the Pretty Paper, Pretty Ribbons' blog.  I have a winter card to share using one of the newest Pretty Paper, Pretty Ribbons' cut files.  



My card is a 4.5" square card and I used the PPPR "Sweet Snowman" cutting files to create my fun little snowman.  I did add a bit of bling with my Wink of Stella pen.  My patterned paper is from the Lawn Fawn 6x6 "Snow Day" paper pad.  My sentiment is from Craftin Desert Divas "Snowman Kisses" stamp set.

Don't forget there is still time to take advantage of the Black Friday Sale!!

I just love shaker cards and boy do I have a collection of sequins, beads and glitter that needs to be used up by creating a bunch of these babies!!  For my project I decided to create a shaker card using one of the snowmen, along with a sentiment, from the CDD "Snowman Kisses" stamp set.  I colored this cute guy with my Spectrum Noir markers.  I used some Doodlebug "Frosty Friends" paper for my background.  I created the card in the Silhouette DE software.  My bow is 3 Girl JAM "Ice Blue" crinkle ribbon and then I hot glued it in place to give the rippled effect.  I glued on some snowflake gems I found at Michaels.  Inside my card I used a bit of tinsel glitter and white beads from Recollections.

So hop, hop, hop on over to the talented Lori.

CDD Linky Party - "Christmas"

Time for a new linky party over at Craftin Desert Divas. 

This time the theme is "Christmas"

One lucky winner will get a stamp set from Craftin Desert Divas.

One lucky winner will get a $25.00 gift certificate for regular priced files from Too Cute by Jessica.

Here is my project for the linky party -

I used a sentiment from Craftin Desert Divas' "Happy Celebrations" stamp set.  I love this stamp set - there is a sentiment for almost every occasion here!!  I used a file from the silhouette store #52761 to create the jingle bell on the front of my card.

Don't forget to link up your Christmas project - you can link up HERE.  

one sketch - 2 cards!! 3GJ dt

Hello there!! Today is my day up on the 3 Girl JAM blog and I have a couple of cards to share I made using the same sketch but different themes.

I used a sketch from Mojo Monday to create these cards.  On my Thanksgiving card, I used some Doodlebug "Friendly Forest" paper from the 6x6 pad.  I used cream ribbon from the  3 Girl JAM "Coffee Bundle" for my bow.  The cute little squirrel is from Create a Critter 2.

For my birthday card I used paper from My Mind's Eye "Hip Hip Hooray" and a piece of ephomera from the same collection for my accent.  This time I used some pink ribbon from the 3 Girl JAM "Ribbon Candy Bundle" for my bow.  

For both of my cards I used the 3 Girl JAM "Bow Maker" to make double bows which I glued onto the ribbon that I wrapped around the base layer of my card.

Thanks for stopping by today!!  Don't forget you can save 10% off your purchase using code NE10.

Thanksgiving Card - PPPR dt

Happy Monday!!  I am up on the Pretty Paper, Pretty Ribbons blog today and wanted to share my project with you here too.  I am still trying to finish up some fall projects before I dive into any more Christmas/winter ones.  The weather has gotten cold here so it definitely feels more like winter than fall but my calendar tells me otherwise.  I wanted to have one more Thanksgiving card on hand so this is what I came up with -

This is an A2 sized card folded at the top.  I used PPPR's "Pumpkin Spice Pattern Pack 1" digital paper for my background paper.  I used the PPPR "Thankful Titles 3" cutting files for my title. I added some cute little acorns using the PPPR "Acorn Faces" cutting files and omitting the layer with the smile face on it.  I finished off my card with some doodling using my white gel pen; gold skittles and some fall colored twine.  

Don't forget about the PPPR "Fall" challenge - I'd say my card fits in perfectly for this challenge :-)

Tealight Candle Card - CDD dt

Today is my turn to post on the Craftin Desert Diva's blog and I have a cute Christmas project to share with you today.  I used the "Winter Treats" stamp set and the "Say It Big" stamp set on this project.

here are some closeups -

Both of these stamp sets can be purchased in the Craftin Desert Divas shop.  

   

For my card base I used a file from the Silhouette store - #67745 - it is actually a Halloween card but I used the reindeer image from the CDD "Winter Treats" set and cut him out using the free svg file and then colored him in with some spectrum noir markers.  The box was originally designed for candy but I was able to squeeze in 3 tealight candles after I took them out of their packaging.  I added a clear epoxy sticker over the "rudolph's spares" sentiment.  My bow was made using some 3 Girl JAM "Holly Berry" crinkle ribbon.  

CDD "Tag" linky party

Time for a new linky party over at Craftin Desert Divas. 

This time the theme is "tags".

One lucky winner will get a stamp set from Craftin Desert Divas.

One lucky winner will get a $25.00 gift certificate for regular priced files from Too Cute by Jessica.

Here is my project for the linky party -

My sentiment is from  Craftin Desert Divas "Happy Celebrations" stamp set .  What a great sentiment stamp set this is - a sentiment for practically every holiday you can think of!!  I embossed mine with gold embossing powder to help make it pop and to keep with the fall colors.  My wine labels are from Pretty Paper, Pretty Ribbons' "Bottle Tag 1" cutting files.  I added some stickers from my stash and used a gold gel pen to add some doodles. 

Thanks for stopping by today!!

Today the PPPR design team is showcasing projects that could be used for fall entertaining featuring files from Pretty Paper, Pretty Ribbons.  Here is my project for the hop -

I used PPPR's  "Thankful Titles 1" cutting files and PPPR's "Flourishes 2" cutting files  and a variety of colors of vinyl to decorate my fall colored charger.  I purchased the charger from Michaels.  The layering in this project was so easy and the charger inexpensive so this would make an economical gift for the holidays.
