Tulip Happy Birthday Card - CDD linky party

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

This time the theme is "Anything Goes"

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 card was made using a cut file from My Scrapchick.  I believe it was a freebie quite some time ago but I am sure you can probably still purchase it in their store.  I thought the larger sentiments from Craftin Desert Divas "Say It Big" stamp set would work perfect in the ovals.  Since we have so many birthdays in the upcoming month I chose the birthday sentiment from the set.

I think it is handy to have some larger sized sentiment stamps and I really do get quite a bit of use out of this stamp set.

You can purchase this stamp set HERE.

Don't forget to link up your "Anything Goes" projects - you can link up HERE.  

PPPR dt - Flower Birthday Card

Happy Monday!!  Today is my turn to post on the Pretty Paper, Pretty Ribbons' BLOG and I have a birthday card to share with you.  Our family has a lot of birthdays during the spring between friends and family and this is just one out of a handful or more that I am going to need to make :-)

I made this one for a good family friend who turned 18 so I wanted a fun and bright card.  I used Pretty Paper, Pretty Ribbons' "Funky Flowers" cutting files and used 2 of the 3 flowers included for my card.  I picked out bright colored cardstock and added a couple of enamel dots as well as some twine.

Well, thanks for stopping by today.  Don't forget to pick up this week's cute FREEBIE - perfect for those Easter cards/projects.

 There is a special freebie file available for free only today and tomorrow (after that it can be purchased in the PPPR store).  The link to the freebie is on Lisa's blog.

Today's blog hop theme is "Get Cooking" and the design team will be showcasing projects related to food and cooking using Pretty Paper, Pretty Ribbons' files.   Here is what I created for the hop -

  

 I created 4 tags to have on hand for when I give away baked goods to friends and family.  I like to bake and it is fun to share with the neighbors and friends and these tags would be that perfect extra touch to wrap up the treats with and to write a personalized message on the back of the tag.

 

To create my tags, I used the following files from the Pretty Paper, Pretty Ribbons' Store -

  

and I also used the blog hop freebie

All of my sentiments came from this stamp set for my sentiment from Craftin Desert Divas -
