"Die Cuttin Diva's" Guest Designer

Today I'm the guest designer over at the Die Cuttin Diva's weekly challenge blog. Every week they have an amazing challenge where you create a card/project according to the guidelines and use a die cutting tool/cartridge/cut. So easy and so fun! And there are prizes to win too!

This week's challenge is "use white and pick either: pink, red, or purple".

If you know anything about me or my designs, you know I always gravitate towards things that are pink. Hehe. My wedding was pink pink pink, my blog is pink pink pink, and my daughters favorite color is pink pink pink. So I got to work right away gathering together some beautiful pink paper and getting inspired. I wanted to make a love card because it's so close to Valentine's Day. This is what I created.

 The card originally measured 6.5x5. But I trimmed half an inch off the height and width because I wanted my die cut embellishments to hang over the edges. 

 

 This cut is from "Lacy Labels". I cut it at 3.25.

It has lots of layers which I popped up with dimensional tape.

I thought the sentiment was perfect for this card.

I love making these layer butterfly elements. 

I cut 3 different butterflies from the Cricut cartridges "Florals Embellished", "Tie the Knot" and "Paper Lace" in a variety of sizes.

Then I layered them together and fastened them with a brad.

Bending the wings forward gives such wonderful dimension.

Thanks so much to the Die Cuttin Diva's for having me as a guest designer. Your blog is so fun and full of amazing inspiration.

I hope you are inspired to create your own card/project for this challenge. 

Have a wonderful Valentine's Day everyone!

 

Spotted Soup Birthday Card

Good Monday everyone.

I am so excited to be posting my first post of the year for the amazing Pumpkin Spice Blog. The design team has acquired some more wonderful designers to showcase the fantastic products from Shop Pumpkin Spice. You're gonna love it!


It was my mother-in-law's birthday, so this is the card I whipped out. I love grabbing a 6x6 paper pad, knowing all the paper is adorable and will match in my project, and making an insta card.

Supplies:

Jillibean Soup "Spotted Owl Soup" 6x6 paper pad

found here for $4.19

Prima "Say it in Crystals" Adhesive Jewels

found here for $2.10

Florals Embellished Cricut cartridge

ribbon from my stash

I just love this paper pad! The blue background paper says "Happy Birthday" all over it, so I didn't even need a sentiment on the front. And with the Jillibean Soup paper pads you get 3 of each pattern, so I never worry about wasting a patterned paper. So great!
