"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!

 

"Portrait" Paper Wedding Card

My family and I have been battling some wicked sicknesses this last week. We've all taken our fare share of down days. My poor kiddos are so brave when they're sick, but man is it heart breaking to watch them. Needless to say my craft room has been empty this week!

I made this wedding card several weeks a go for the sweetest couple!

The love birds are from the Joys of the Seasons Cricut cartridge. The "I Do" sentiment is from the Tie the Knot Cricut cartridge. I cut both out in the base and shadow cuts.

I used the Crate Paper "Portrait Collection" 12x12 paper kit from Shop Pumpkin Spice. The paper has this amazing vintage feel. And the sticker embellishments have a ton of options from wedding, to travel, to everyday journaling. I just love this paper kit!

I just adore making wedding cards for couples in love. I remember my wedding day and all the blessings and joy I felt. When my husband and I opened our cards the next day, I remember crying over what people had written. All their thoughts and prayers meant so much to us. I still have every card we received for our wedding. I just can't part with them!
