"Hugs" - PPPR dt

Today is my turn to post over on the Pretty Paper, Pretty Ribbons' BLOG and I am sharing a card I made -

My goal with this card was to create a simple card that could be used for many occasions.  I never seem to have that kind of card on hand.  I could use this for a thank you, birthday, hello or even a sympathy card.  To create my card I used the flower pot and Gerbera daisy cut files from the PPPR "Spring Garden" cutting files set.  I used some foam tape between the layers of my flower to give it more dimension and then I also used foam on the gingham card layer to create even more dimension to my card.  I added an enamel dot to the center of my flower and used a sentiment from the Craftin Desert Divas "Simply Said" stamp set.

Thanks for stopping by today!!  And a big thanks for those of you who visited this weekend during the PPPR "Under the Sea" blog hop :-)

I just love this sea turtle from the PPPR "Sea Life" cutting files.   I popped him up on some foam tape for more dimension.  The coral is also from the same cutting files set. 

I had the perfect sentiment for my card from a Craftin Desert Divas stamp set called "Totally Turtle".

Thanks SEW much!! - PPPR dt

Hello there - today is my turn to post on the Pretty Paper, Pretty Ribbons BLOG.  I have a thank you card to share with  -

I created my card using the following PPPR cutting files -

"Dress Form" cutting files
"Mother's Day Card" cutting files

I also pulled out a paper pad I have been hoarding for awhile now - Simple Stories "Vintage Bliss" 6x6 paper pad - and used that for all of my patterned paper.  I am so pleased with how my card turned out and love that dress form cutting file that was recently released.  Here is another view :-)

I also used some ribbon from 3 Girl JAM and a sentiment from CARDZ TV Stamps.    Join me back here this weekend for a fun PPPR blog hop -

I am entering my card in the following challenges -

3 Girl JAM - "Anything Goes"

Wish Big - CDD Birthday Linky Party

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

This time the theme is "Birthday"

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 -

Still perfecting my fussy cutting :-)  Here is a side angle so you can see the dimension of the card.

I think this makes a perfect summer time birthday card!!  Here is a list of the Craftin Desert Divas supplies that I used on my project -

Outdoor Landscape Dies
"The sky is the Limit"stamp set

"Crabby" stamp set

I colored with my Spectrum Noir markers and created my sky background with a cloud template I made with my Silhouette Cameo and some tumbled glass distress ink.

Thanks for stopping by today!!
Don't forget to link up your "Birthday" project.  You can link up HERE.

Love Ya - CDD dt

Hi there!! Today is my turn to post on the Craftin Desert Divas BLOG.    I wanted to share with you a card I made using a few of the products from the recent stamp and die release.  I just loved this last release, didn't you??  I am so enjoying the coordinating dies to go with my stamps - so much faster than pulling out my electronic die cutting machine to cut the svg files.

I colored my Panda girl in with my Spectrum Noir markers.  I cut an oval out of my design paper to create my shaker card.  I layered some "fun foam" underneath to pop my shaker card up, glued the grass to the bottom of my card and popped up both my cloud and panda on foam tape.  Here is a side view -
