Guest DT for Craftin Desert Diva's

Hello everyone! I am posting today as a guest designer for Craft It Up Link It Up Linky Party hosted by Tara of Craftin Desert Divas! Every other Monday will mark the beginning of a new semi-weekly linky party and you could win fabulous prizes!!

This linky party theme is "Down On The Farm". The sponsor is Barb from Bug Bites with the Candy Speaks Stamp set and Pinque Peacock. The more you link up, the better chance you have to win.  Visit Craftin Desert Divas for all the rules and to play along.

Here is what I created for this linky party....

How fun is that sentiment? It's from My Craft Spot's Cute Critters Stamp set!

This is a fairly simple card with a fun layout. I cut the cow from a Lettering Delights file called Rise and Shine. I hid the eyes before I cut it out and stamped them with a Peachy Keen Winter Face Assortment stamp set.
I cut the circle and scallop mat using my Cameo and did a penned stitching line around the mat. I also used my sewing machine to do the stitched line down the side.
To finish I added some simple banners and stamped the sentiment using My Craft Spot's Cute Critters stamp set.

Hope you will Craft It Up & Link It Up!!!
Thanks for visiting and have a great day!

Cute As A Bug

Hello everyone! It's time for a new challenge at My Craft Spot! This week the challenge is "Cute As A Bug". Create a project using a cute bug.

I made this fun little card and treat box set. I used a file from My Scrap Chick called Garden Bug Boxes and Cards for that adorable bug/bug box. I pop dotted the spots and noses on both the box and card. I used My Craft Spot's Tiny Doilies Dies to create the tag for the box and stamped it with a sentiment from Tiny Tags 2 stamp set. The sentiment on the card is from Butterfly Kisses stamp set and I added some Purple Stripe ribbon to the bottom.

I hope you will all play along in the challenge and please don't forget to check out what the rest of the DT has created! Have a great day!

Buzzin' By To Say Hi!

Hello everyone! It's my day to post over at Peachy Keen and I have this super cute card to share with you!

I LOVE these cute bee's! The file is called Cute As Can Bee and they're from the SVG Cutting Files store.

To create the card, I welded 2 of the hive's together to create the card shape and then cut the layer pieces. I cut the bee girl and stamped her face with a Peachy Keen Sweet And Silly face. The sentiments are from the Peachy Keen Honey Sentiments and I stamped them to banners that I tucked behind the hive pieces.
I am going to enter this into the SVG Cutting Files Anything Goes challenge.

I hope you all enjoyed seeing my card and thanks for stopping in! Have a great day!

Sweet Wishes

Hello everyone! It's my day to post at My Craft Spot and I have a card to share. I used My Craft Spot's NEW Ticket Dies, Postage Stamp, and Ticket stamps on this card.

I cut the card base and mats using my Cricut and Elegant Edges. I hand cut around the middle striped band to keep the shape of the card and added a black dotted line around the scallop mat. 

The girl is a cut file from SVG Cutting Files called Cupcake Girl and I stamped the face with a Peachy Keen Moodies face stamp. I also hand cut the banner from pattern paper and mounted it on pop dots. 

The ticket tabs were made with My Craft Spot's Ticket Dies and I stamped the outlines with the Ticket stamp set. The sentiments were stamped using MCS's Postage Stamp stamps and I attached them to the card using a brad.

I am going to enter this into the SVG Cutting Files Anything Goes Challenge.
