Valentine Dragon

Happy Monday my crafty friends! Today I am bringing you another Valentines Day card I created using the super cute Eggie Buddies Valentine Dragon from KaDoodle Bug Designs.  Is this not the cutest Dragon you have ever seen !?!?!

This card measures 5" x 5". My card base is ReCollections Card Stock. My adorable Valentine Dragon is made using Bazzill Card Stock and the patterned paper used is from the ReCollections Valentine's Day 6x6 Paper Pad.

I started off by uploading the Valentine Dragon SVG File into Cricut Design Space and used my Cricut Explore to cut out all of the pieces. Once everything was cut, I then inked and chalked all of my pieces using Tim Holtz Distress Inks and Pebbles Pearlescent Chalks. I adhered all the pieces together using Art Glitter Glue, added some highlights using a White Gelly Roll Pen and then added some Glossy Accents to his sunglasses to gain that reflective shiny look.

I stamped "I ❤ U" from the Craftin Desert Divas - Sending Love Stamp Set in the center heart using my Versamark Stamp Pad and heat embossed it using ReCollections Tinsel Embossing Powder. I used my Inside Scalloped Square Dies from Carftin Desert Divas to die cut my patterned paper to form my frame for this card.

A little something.....for you!

Happy Sunday my crafty friends! I hope you are all having a fabulous weekend! Today I am sharing another card I created using some of the new products that have just been released from Craftin Desert Divas. 

To start off, I cut my Neenah Solar White cardstock down to form an A2 sized card base. I then added paper from Doodlebug Designs Sweet Shoppe paper pad for my mats. I used Cricut Design Space and my Cricut Explore to upload and cut out the Panda Holidays SVG file. I then stamped my adorable little pandas onto each cut out using StazOn Jet Black Ink and colored them using Prismacolor Premier Colored Pencils.

I then used my Big Shot to die cut the Stitched Box and also my sentiment flag from the Flag Banner Dies set. I adhered my stitched box together using Art Glitter Glue and added some twine around the box and tied it in a small bow to hold a small tag.

Check out the dimension to this stitched box. I love that it is dimensional and can fit small goodies inside.  I arranged my adorable little pandas in the box and adhered them to the top inside layer of the stitched box as I knew I was going to add a little goody inside as well and I didn't want to cover up my pandas.

For my sentiment, I used stamps from the Short & Sweet Tags Stamp Set.  I used my Versamark Stamp Pad to stamp "A little something" on the flag banner and I stamped "for you" on a small deco tag that I had in my stash. Both were heat embossed using ReCollections Embossong Powder.

I used a few pop-up dots to adhere my sentiment banner for added dimension. And to finish the card off, I added a few enamel dots.

Here is a full list of all the materials used for this card:

Sending Sweetest Wishes

Hello & Happy Saturday! It's Jana from CHB Creations and I am super excited because today is my first official CDD Daily Post as a Craftin Desert Divas Designer. WooHoo!!!!  Have you checked out all the amazingly super cute new stamp sets and dies that have just been released? If not, then you need to head over to the January Release and take a look. Trust me...you will not be disappointed!!

I am in love with everything that has been released but the new Sweet Shop Stamp Set and Candy Jar die just may be my favorites. Check it out.....

I started off by stamping my candy images using Versamark ink on a piece of heat resistant acetate. I then added my white embossing powder and heat set it.  I wanted to add some cute patterned paper for that pop of color and also to give myself an area to write a greeting or note if I wanted to, so I chose some bright and fun paper from the Doodlebug Design Sugar Shoppe paper pad.

I die cut my Candy Jar and stamped some more candy pieces on the jar and colored them in using Prismacolor Premier Colored Pencils.  I then adhered my candy filled die cut jar in the center of a pink rosette I made using cardstock.

I then die cut two different sized banners using the Flag Banner Dies. On the larger banner, I stamped "Sending" from the Wishful Thoughts Stamp Set. On the smaller banner, I stamped "Sweetest Wishes" from the Sweet Shop Stamp Set.  I then arranged and tucked both banners underneath my rosette and adhered them into place to complete my card.

Here is a list of the products I used:

Sweet Shop Stamp Set

Candy Jar Die

Flag Banner Dies

Happy Friday my crafty friends!!! I'm so happy that the weekend is finally here. Yay!!!! Today I am sharing a project that I created for the Social Media Challenge over at the Craftin Desert Divas Facebook Group.  I created a super cute note pad using inspiration from the below photo:

This note pad measures 4"W x 8.25"H. I am actually going to give it to my daughter as she is always looking for paper pads to write on and usually comes and takes all of mine, LOL!!! Now she has her own to use and it is refillable too!!!

And of course I LOVE Shakers of all kinds, so I had to add one on to this as well. I am really happy with how it turned out!!

And here is the inside of the notepad.  I also added a small pocket on the left to hold any type of loose papers, cards, receipts, etc.

The products that I have used are as follows: 

Craftin Desert Divas - Hello You Stamp Set

Craftin Desert Divas - Stitched in Circle Dies

Craftin Desert Divas Sequins - Fuscia Hearts

Winter Cheer Planner Spread

Hello there and Happy Monday!!! So this past weekend we had our first big snow storm of the season. I think we got 8"+ dropped on us and if you know me, you know that I hate snow!! But.... I am alright with it as it gave me an entire weekend to stay inside and play in my craft room. YAY!!!! 

This is my ReCollections A5 planner which I use to stay organized and keep track of projects for the Design Teams that I am on as well as plan my own crafts and projects. I have been wanting to create a spread using the adorable "Winter Cheer" stamp set from Craftin Desert Divas and I thought it would be perfect for January.

Look at how adorable these stamps are!!!

They just scream cuteness!!!  I uploaded the SVG cutting file for these and cut it out using my Cricut Explore. I then stamped my images onto the outlines using Memento - Tuxedo Black ink.

I colored each image using Prismacolor Premier Colored Pencils.

Another favorite stamp set I can't seem to get enough of is the Elegant Brush Script . I used this set to stamp my Month Title onto a Flag Banner Die using Tim Holtz Distress Ink - Peacock Feathers.

For my To Do list, I used the Doodled Frames stamp set and again inked it up using the Tim Holtz - Peacock Feathers Distress Ink and stamped my frames along the right side. I used the cute mittens in the Winter Cheer stamp set as my To Do title. I stamped "To Do" from the Plan It Out Stamp Set. 

I have a lot more to fill out on this spread, but wanted to share the making of it with you all.

Below is a complete list of all the materials I used:

• ReCollection A5 Planner
• ReCollections Washi Tape
• ReCollections Planner Accessories Stickers

Snowman Full of Love

Hello crafty friends and Happy New Year!!! I hope that you all enjoyed the Holidays and were able to spend lots of time with friends and loved ones.  I still can't believe how fast the year flew by. I'm excited for the New Year and all it will have to offer.  

I have been very busy crafting since Christmas as I have received lots of exciting and new crafting goodies that I had asked for ("Santa" was VERY good to me)! So make sure that you stay tuned as I promise that I will be sharing a lot more of my creations with you all.

With that being said, today I am sharing a card that I created using an adorable SVG file from KaDoodle Bug Designs entitled Full of Love.

This is a very simple and fun card to create and I have listed all of the supplies and materials that I have used below:

• Card Base: A2 (4.25" x 5.5") using 80lb. Neenah white card stock

• Card Base Mat: Cut 1/8" smaller than base using Stampin' Up! Stacked with Love Designer Series Paper Stack.

• Paper Piecing: KaDoodle Bug Designs "Full of Love"was made using Bazzill card stock (snowman and red and pink hearts). Patterned paper used for the snowman's scarf and some of the hearts is from the Stampin' Up! Stacked with Love Designer Series Paper Stack as well. The hearts and scarf were all inked using Tim Holtz Distress Inks: Barn Door, Fired Brick and Worn Lipstick. I used Art Glitter Glue to adhere my paper piecing together and a White Gelly Roll Pen to add some highlights to finish it off. 

• Stamped Sentiment: "Love You" is from the Craftin Desert Diva's "Short and Sweet Tags" stamp set and was stamped onto one of the hearts using an acrylic block and Memento - Tuxedo Black Ink.

Thank you for stopping by today. I hope that you enjoyed today's creation and will visit again very soon for more crafty goodness and inspiration!!

May your day be as wonderful as your first sip!

Happy Friday my crafty friends!! I'm so very happy that it is finally the weekend! Yay!!! Today I wanted to share with you a super cute shaker card that I made using a bunch of goodies from Craftin Desert Divas.  I am a Coffee fanatic!! I LOVE anything and everything Coffee. So when I saw this adorable new digi stamp, I knew I wanted to make something with it.

I colored this cutie using my Prisma Color Pencils. I added some accents using a white Gelly Roll Pen and added some Stickles to his hat and scarf to dress him up a bit.  

My sentiment is a stamp from the "Coffee Break" stamp set which you can find here: http://craftindesertdivas.com/coffee-break/
