Die Cuttin Divas: Anything Goes with a Die-Cut

Hello everyone. It's Tuesday and time for another challenge at Die-Cuttin Divas.

Our challenge this week is "Anything Goes". Just remember to add a die-cut.

I wanted to do something quick and classy so I decided to work with my Spellbinders Lacy Ovals and Outline Stickers from Classy Cards N Such online store.

This beautiful shimmery cardstock is called Stardream Ruby but is in fact a gorgeous shade of purple. My lacy ovals were also cut out of a gorgeous shimmer cardstock called Champagne Reich Shine. The birdhouses are outline stickers that can be colored in or left blank. My flowers are from Prima and they are called Sugar Blooms. Everything I used on my card today is available at Classy Cards N Such and you can take 10% off your order with my discount code: JENNIPHER-10.

Now you must stop by the Die Cuttin Divas to see what my fellow Divas created and to play along in the challenge. 

Die Cuttin Divas: Buttons, Bling, and/or Bows

Hello everyone! It's Tuesday and time for another challenge with the Die Cuttin Divas.

This week we want to see you use buttons, bling, and/or bows plus a die-cut.

I decided to go with bling and instead of using my Cricut this week I decided to work with some of my trusty dies from Spellbinders, Sizzix and Cuttlebug.

I distressed and inked the edges of the base as well as sponged ink around the edges of the lacy square before I stamped my Scripture on it. I used some baby bling around the lacy edges of the square.

So what do you fancy? Buttons, bling, or bows or all three? Figure it out and then get out your die-cuts and come play along with us at Die Cuttin Divas.

Do you enjoy making projects with Scripture on them? If you do and would like to share them with others, my friend Abby has a weekly linking party for projects made with Scripture on them. I will be linking this project up to Little Birdie Blessings. 

Die Cuttin Divas: Squirrel Appreciation

Happy Tuesday! It's time for another fun challenge at Die Cuttin Divas!

Squirrel Appreciation Day is January 21st. So your challenge this week is to use a squirrel on your project.


I made my squirrel using the Cindy Loo cartridge and my Cricut.

My fellow DT members got really creative with this challenge and came up with some cute sentiments. I decided to be practical and make it a fall themed card as I never have enough of those when it's time to send them out.

Stop on by the Die Cuttin Divas blog to see the fabulous inspiration from my team mates. Then, join us for the challenge.

Die Cuttin Divas: Sketch and Birthday Cupcakes

Hello everyone! Welcome to my first official challenge as a member of the Die-Cuttin Divas!

I'm excited to be part of this group of women that love to use their die-cuttin tools. This is our first official challenge of the New Year and we are doing it blog hop style. We are also celebrating the challenge blog's birthday. There are hidden prizes along the way so make sure you visit all the stops. You should have arrived here from Nikki's blog but if you didn't or you get lost along the way just go to the Die Cuttin Diva's Blog for the complete line-up.

One lucky commenter will receive three of The Stamping Boutique Digital Stamps that I have for sale on my blog. You can see those images here: Digital Emporium (this is completely legit. I have purchased a license from Tracey to sell or giveaway these images. No file sharing going on here!)

Here is the sketch we are challenging you to use

Along with the sketch you need to use either a birthday sentiment or a cupcake or both and make sure you include a die-cut somewhere on your card!


For my die-cut I decided to use the <cupcake2> cut from the Cricut Celebrations cartridge.

 

I used Liquid Pearls to create my cupcake sprinkles and the patterned papers are from the Stampin' Up! Ice Cream Parlor DSP collection. My happy birthday sentiment is also from Stampin' Up!

Your next stop on the hop is Yvette's blog. So hop on along and see what exciting things she has planned for you.

Guest Designing with The Die Cuttin Divas: Tags, Tags, & More Tags

Happy Tuesday Everyone! I'm very excited today to be Guest Designing with the fabulous ladies from Die Cuttin' Divas.

If you are not familiar with them they are a challenge blog dedicated to using those die-cut machines we all just had to have. Raise your hand if you fall into this category!


Our challenge this week is called Tags, Tags, & More Tags and it is sponsored by the wonderful Whimsie Doodles. They gave us some adorable Christmas images to work with and I will be showcasing three of those images here today on my tags.


I decided to use my Cricut along with my Tags, Bags, Boxes and More cartridge to cut out my tag bases.

Let's have a look...

This tag uses the Tag Jar image. I just loved those peppermint candies and knew when I saw it that I would use the image along with this peppermint striped paper from American Crafts. Don't they just look yummy? And nothing says Christmas like peppermint candy. I used the Sizzlits Lots of Tags Die set from Stampin' Up!® to cut out the label that I stamped "Holiday Joy" on.

Here we have the Penguin. He just looked plain cold to me so I thought a background of embossed snowflakes would suit him well. I used my snowflake Cuttlebug embossing folder and then inked over the raised areas with Soft Sky ink. This is a retired color from Stampin' Up but, I still love it and I used the matching ribbon or the bow. I used the same label as above to stamp "Let it Snow" on.

My final tag uses the Gift Box. I went clean and simple here. Just colored the image. cut it out, and let it stand on it's on against a white background. I used a different tag from the Sizzlits Lots of Tags Die set and I stamped "Holly Jolly" on it. I used some hemp cord to tie the two tags together and inked the outer edges of the tag base with Fired Brick Distress Ink.

All of the sentiments I used today are from Verve's Holiday Phrases stamp set.

This was a lot of fun and I hope you are inspired to get out whatever tag dies or cartridges you may have and make some tags. If you do, be sure to come share them with us over at Die Cuttin' Divas!
