Life Card

The last day of 2014! This year flew by and I'm very much looking forward to starting a New Year. 

I love this stamped sentiment from Craftin Desert Divas and finally had a chance to use it on this card. I've added a sweet little bear paper piecing from KaDoodle Bug Designs to go along with it.


Have a very happy and healthy New Year everyone!

Snowman Card

Today I'm sharing a snowman card I've created using patterns from Cuddly Cute Designs. I am enjoying using the patterns from this new company. Not only are the patterns adorable, but they cut and go together beautifully.


The stamped sentiment, by Craftin Desert Divas, was perfect for this snowman pattern.

Snowman Tags

I got my new stamps from Craftin Desert Divas yesterday, so I couldn't wait to add them to a project! I've created some sweet snowman tags, which are perfect to go along with a gift. 


Snowman pattern by Little Scraps of Heaven Designs. I embossed the background and then added some bling for added sparkle. 

For the stamped saying, I used Snowman Kisses.

No Peeking Christmas Gift Card Project

Today's my daily post over at Craftin Desert Divas. For today's post, I've created a Christmas card that also holds a gift card. The gift card is hidden inside the present on the front of the card. Mouse pattern by Little Scraps of Heaven Designs.
For the sentiment on the front, I used both Simply Christmas and Tag It stamp sets.
For the inside of the card, I also used Simple Christmas.
When the ribbon is untied, the top of the present flips open and a pocket inside holds the gift card. 
You can purchase these stamp sets by clicking on their links above. 



Thank you for stopping by today and as always, we look forward to you sharing your Craftin Desert Divas stamp projects with us in the Gallery. Have a great day!

Welcome to the 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 some fabulous prizes! This week's linky party theme is a Special Extended one and the theme is Christmas.
