Craftin Desert Divas - Spring Fairy

Hey there,

Spring is almost here, so I think this simple and colorful card is perfect to be sharing. The fairy is from the new "Seasonal Fairies" stamp set. I also used the new "Tag It" die, and some other supplies that are listed at the end.

This card was inspired by a card from Sandra Wieffering.

I first started by stamping and fussy cutting my image. I also die cut the other elements: a scalloped rectangle from white cardstock, a tag from a floral paper, a banner from gold glitter paper and two circles, one from white cardstock and one from a leaf paper.

Attached the tag in the middle, and on top of it the circles and the banner. Stamped my sentiment on the white circles. I tied a knot using twine, glued it at the top of the tag and attached a small flower on the knot.

Colored my image using zig markers, and attached it to the panel using foam squares. Attached the panel to a white card base, glued some sequins here and there to finish the card, and applied clear glitter to the wings of the fairy to finish the card.

Craftin Desert Divas - Happy Couple

Hello there,

Wedding season is coming so here is a new set that would be totally appropriate to create wedding invitations, menus or thank you cards, etc. ^^ This new set is called "Hitched", and it's absolutely adorable!

For this card, I first started by stamping, cutting and then coloring my image using zig markers. Then I dry embossed a piece of pink paper using a heart stencil through my big shot. I also die cut a scalloped circle and splattered pink and gold inks on it to kind of create confettis.

Attached the embossed pink paper on a white card base, and adhered the scalloped circle on top of it. Then I gold heat embossed the first part of my sentiment on white cardstock, and die cut the word Happy from dark pink cardstock to create the second part. Glue it on its vellum outline.

Attached my image in the middle of the scalloped circle using foam squares. Did the same thing with the two parts of my sentiment. Die cut a dark pink heart and glued it too on the right side of the couple. Glued some sequins here and there, and applied glossy accents on the word Happy to finish the card.

Craftin Desert Divas - Wedding Cake

Hello there,

Today I'm here to share with you a card showcasing the new "Just Married" stamp set. Aren't these little mice too adorable? I used other CDD supplies on this card, they're listed at the bottom of the article ^^

I first started by tracing diagonal lines on a piece of white cardstock using the scoring tool of my trimmer. I wanted a diamond pattern, kind of a quilted fabric. To accentuate that effect, I added adhesive pearls of different sizes on each intersection.

Then I die cut a scalloped rectangle from white cardstock and attached it in the middle of my quilted panel using foam squares. Perfect to frame my images ^^

Speaking of images, I colored them using my zig markers. I kept the icing on the cake simple because I didn't want it to compete with the mice. I simply applied clear glitter and glossy accents on top of it. I also applied clear glitter on the pink parts of the mice image.

I die cut a banner from white cardstock, and stamped my sentiment on it. From the same cardstock, I die cut leaves and flowers, and built the top part of the frame. Attached the images using foam squares.

I also die cut and colored little flowers, and attached them on the cake using glue dots. Added white enamel dots at their center, applied clear glitter on the leaves and flower at the top, and finally added my sentiment at the bottom.

Craftin Desert Divas - All The Seasons - Shaker Tags

Hey there,

So it's day 2 of Craftin Desert Divas Sneak Peek week for March release, so today I'm sharing with you these four tags I made using two brand new supplies: "Seasonal Fairies" stamp set + "Tag It" die set. Mixed them with a "Hello" die from an older set, and tried to stay close to the season theme with the colors and papers ^^

I first started by die cutting all the different elements to build the shaker tags: front and back pieces, vellum pieces, window pieces and foam pieces. On the back pieces, I glued the vellum pieces. At the back of the front pieces, I glued the window pieces. On the vellum pieces, I glued the foam pieces. Put sequins in each space and close the tags by gluing the front pieces on the back pieces.

I colored my images using zig markers, and tied ribbons at the top of each tag. Attached each fairy on the matching tag using foam squares.

I die cut the word Hello eight times: four times from white cardstock, and four times from white foam. Inked up the bottom of each word using matching colors for the tags, glued the words on the foam pieces, and finally attached them on the tags. To finish the tags, I simply applied clear glitter on the wings of the fairies.

Craftin Desert Divas - Apple Picking

Hey there,

Here we go again, it's time for a new Craftin Desert Divas release! We're starting with the new "Let's do lunch" stamp set, I mixed it with the new "Flower border" die and some other dies from previous releases.

I first started by die cutting all the papers from bristol smooth cardstock: a grass border, a flower border, a tree border, two tree trunks, two scalloped circles and several apples.

Colored the grass border, the scalloped circles and the bottom of the flower border and tree border using two shades of distress inks. Colored the tree trunks using two shades of brown distress inks.

Colored the flowers from the flower border using alcohol markers. Did the same with the apples and the trees from the tree border. Applied glossy accents the flowers and apples to make them pop more.

On a large piece of bristol smooth cardstock, I applied blue distress ink to create the sky. Then I assembled all the elements: first attached the tree border, then the flower border and next the grass border. Built both trees on the sides using the tree trunks and scalloped circles elements. And attached the apples using glue dots.

Colored the cute ants using zig markers, and I simply gold heat embossed my sentiment on a piece of vellum and attached at the top of the panel between the trees. Attached my image using foam squares, and finally adhered the whole panel on a white card base.
