So I first started by die cutting two stitched rectangles, and then from them I die cut two ground borders and a corn field border ; this way all my borders have stitched details on the edges.
Next I colored all the borders using different distress inks: a light beige for the corn field border, and two shades of browns for the ground borders. I also created the sky using a light blue and a light orange.
Once all my images printed on white cardstock, I colored them using alcohol markers, and fussy cut them. Attached my borders on top of each other using double sided tape, and placed my little elements using glue dots and foam squares.
Attached my panel to a white base, and attached that to a piece of pattern paper. Glued my homemade sentiment at the top right corner, and finally attached the whole thing to a white card base.
Here is a quite simple card, but yet very cute I think that I made for the Coffee Lovers Blog Hop using the cutest owl ever from Craftin Desert Divas. By the way, this image is a freebie for everyone through 9-22-17. Use the code: coffee in the CDD shop to get it for free.
I first started by cutting all the papers at different sizes so I could make several layers and levels. I printed the sentiment and image, and colored it using my alcohol markers.
Then I assembled everything: I attached the plaid rectangle to the largest craft rectangle, glued a long piece of ribbon at the back and attached the whole thing to a white card base. I tied a knot on the right side of the panel and attached the little owl panel on top of it using foam squares.
Added stitched lines around the front frame using a glitter pen, and glued some sequins to finish the card.
Today I'm on the Craftin Desert Divas blog sharing these spooky cute trick or treat bags. I've been wanted to make some kind of those for a very long time so when I saw these cute images from the new digital stamp sets called "Ghostly Greetings" and "Happy Haunting", I thought it was perfect time!
I followed a tutorial from PootlesPapercraft to help me build the bags so you will find all the details in the description area of her video.
So. I first started by cutting all my papers (cardstock, pattern, glitter and vellum) and then I assembled the bags. I punched holes at the top of the bags so I could put ribbon and tie a knot using twine.
Then I colored all my images using alcohol markers, fussy cut and attached them on the front of the bags using foam squares. And to finish them, I cut little tags from a pattern paper and added them to the bags.
Today I'm sharing with you this adorable little moose passing by to sing you a lovely little song. Isn't he too cute with his guitar? I simply love him!
I first started by die cutting all the pieces I needed to created my background: a grass border, a water border and a cabin border. I colored the grass and cabin borders using two shades of green, and the water border using two shades of blue. I colored the little cabins and tress using my zig markers. And to create the sky, I used a homemade cloud stencil.
Next I die cut a circle from wood textured cardstock. I attached the two pieces at the back using regular tape so they would stay together. And I started to assemble the background: first the cabin border, then the water border and the grass border, and finally the wood textured panel on top of everything.
I colored my image using my alcohol markers and soft colors, fussy cut it and attached it on my card. Also printed my sentiment on white cardstock, cut it using a banner die and attached it below the circle window using foam squares. And added some clear shimmery sequins to finish the card.

We don't celebrate Halloween in France but I still love to make cards for this special occasion. These new dies are part of the September release, as well as these cuties that I love so much, especially the bats. I couldn't help myself I had to add wiggly eyes on them!
I first started by printing my sentiment on a piece of watercolor cardstock. Then I die cut a circle from masking paper that I attached to my panel so I could mask where I wanted to place the moon and create the night sky. I created it using black ink and two shades of dark blue inks.
Next I masked the night sky and started to create the moon. I first applied some pale blue ink all over the circle, and a darker blue ink on the edges. Then I splattered a bunch of water drops to make it more interesting and spooky.
I die cut two borders from black cardstock: one hill border and one haunted house border. I also colored a piece of white cardstock in yellow, cut thin strips from it and glues then behind the haunted house windows.
Attached the borders at the bottom of my panel, and colored the images. I fussy cut them and finally added wiggly eyes to the bats to make them funnier and cuter.
Here is a card I made just before moving from the Craftin Desert Divas digi team to the stamp team. I really enjoyed making it, especially coloring the house, graves and cat in black and progressively seeing the whole scene "coming alive"!
I first started by editing my scene in Photoshop and printing it on watercolor cardstock. I die cut a circle from masking paper, applied it on my panel where I wanted to place the moon.
I also masked the house, graves and cat, and then I started to create the sky. To do so, I used different shades of orange inks and black ink just on the edges.
Next I colored the house, graves, cat and ground using a black zig marker. I applied two layers so it would be nice and very dark. I also colored the windows using yellow and light brown zig markers.
Today I'm sharing with you a card I made when I still was in the Craftin Desert Divas digi team. It's a one layer card, I don't make that kind of card often so I really enjoyed creating it. And it was also my first time using Zig clean color real brush markers.
I first started by printing my images on watercolor cardstock and also on masking paper so I could mask everything and create my background.
Then I die cut a circle from masking paper, applied it on my panel and started creating the moon. For that, I used grey distress ink and sprayed some water on top of it to create some texture.
Once the moon was dry, I applied a circle mask on top of it to create the night sky. I used two shades of blue and black distress inks. Then I colored the images using zig markers and attached my panel to a black card base. To finish the card (and hide a little mistake ^^), I glued a bunch of sequins, and added some gold glitter at different places.
Here is some more cuteness from the new stamp set called "Timber". This new set is my favorite, I looooove these new images, I mean, look at these little guys, aren't they too cute??
I first started by die cutting two hill borders to create the ground. I inked them using two shades of brown. I also die cut five trees that I inked using the same as previously. I colored the sky using two shades of blue, applying the darker one at the bottom close to the hills.
I glued the trees directly on the sky panel using liquid glue, and attached the hills using foam squares. Attached the whole panel to a white card base.
Then I colored all the images using my alcohol markers and fussy cut them. Stamped my sentiment, and finally glued the images to the card using foam squares and liquid glue.
