"Wish Big" Birthday Card

Good morning! Here's a sweet 5x5 paper pieced birthday card I worked on last night. I went through my scrap pieces of paper and coordinated some fun designs to go along with the candles. Candle and scalloped circle pattern from My Scrap Chick.

My stamps from Craftin Desert Diva's came in handy for this card. I used the "Wish Big" stamp from Simply Said and "Happy Birthday" from Say it Big, for the inside of my card. You can purchase these stamps by clicking on the store link.

I finished it up with some twine and some bling from Recollections.

Thank you for stopping by my blog today and I always enjoy reading your feedback! 

Paper Piecing Sets

Today, I took some time to work on a few paper piecing sets, patterns by Little Scraps of Heaven Designs.

"I Love You" Greeting Card

Hi there! Today, I am sharing this paper pieced card I've created for my daily post at Craftin Desert Diva's. I used the sentiment, "I Love You!" from the Say it Big stamp set.

I didn't want the card to have a Valentine's Day appearance, but one that you could give to someone at any time. So, I stuck with bright colors. I added some of my own crochet flowers for dimension, as well as a glittery heart embellishment by Recollections. The paper used is by Simple Stories.  

The sweet paper pieced bear was created using patterns from Kadoodlebug Designs.

Thank you for stopping by my blog today and if you'd like to purchase the Say it Big stamp set, just click on the store link above. Lots of great sentiments in this set, to use along with your paper crafting projects. Have a great day!

Spooky Halloween Tic Tac Holder

Happy Monday everyone!  Welcome to the Linky Party at Craftin Desert Diva's! Tara challenged us to create a Halloween themed project.  Here is what I have created for this challenge:

I used a few different patterns to create this project. The Tic Tac holder base can be found at Treasure Box Designs and the sweet ghost pattern can be found at Little Scraps of Heaven Designs. The paper used is Witch's Dust Halloween by Recollections, as well as the added spider embellishment. Twine by Doodlebug.  The "Spooky" sentiment is from the Batty for You stamp set. You can purchase this stamp set here 

Plenty of fun sayings and images for your paper crafting projects included with this set.

On to our sponsors:

One free stamp set from CDD 

Any 2 files, winner's choice, from The Cutting Cafe'

Gift Certificate worth $5, from Digital Delights by Louby Lou

I hope you all come play along with us and be sure to link up by October 26th.  There are great prizes for a few lucky participants, so get your crafty on!  We can't wait to see what you come up with.
