Die Cuttin Diva's - Anything Goes

Happy Tuesday! 
It's time for another Die Cuttin Diva's Challenge! This week it's everyone's favorite "Anything Goes" Please join us with any paper project that has a die cut!
I am still in the beachy mood so I created a clean and simple beachy card.

I used some fun flip flop dies from Lil Inker designs

I got out some of my washi and coordinated it with some pattern paper.  I really love washi, not sure why I never use it? I will be changing that :)

The sentiment is from My Creative Time

Please pop over to Die Cuttin Divas Challenge and check out the DT and join us for the challenge! We would love to have you.

Craftin Desert Diva's - July 4th/Canada Day

Today is 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 fabulous prizes!! Welcome to our mid post for this weeks "July 4th/Canada Day Linky party".  Visit Craftin Desert Divas for all the rules and to play along. 

I have a little sad news :( Today is my last post with Craftin Desert Diva's. I've been with Tara since the beginning and wish her and the team the absolute best! I have had a blast designing with the products and was very honored to have been part of her team with such amazing talent! Thank you Tara and all the team for your laughs and fun!

So for my last post I created a fun flag to use as a centerpiece for the 4th of July

I hae some fun tin bucket candles holders in blue and red (pictured) and I use them every year. During the day I fill them with candy and use them on the buffet table at the block party.

So I thought it would be fun to throw in a little flag. Made using my favorite dies - Banner Dies

I finished off my flag with some AWESOME Deep Blue Sea Sequins. I can't wait to show off my little flags on the 4th :)

Sweet Summertime Co-Blog Hop Trendy Twine & SVG Attic

Welcome to the Trendy Twine-SVG Attic Sweet Summertime blog hop!  We are so excited to have you join us today!

At each stop of the hop we hope you will be inspired by the creativity of the design teams of Trendy Twine and SVG Attic. You are sure to find many wonderful projects that will be at the top of your crafting lists!

You should be arriving from the Trendy Twine blog. If you happened across this post out of order, please head to the Trendy Twine blog to start at the beginning of the hop.

Here is the project I created:
Oh my goodness, summer is officially here! I was so anxious.... we had the worst June Gloom and now sunny skies are here! I wanted to make a cute treat that combines the gorgeous Trendy Twine, the awesome SVG Attic files and the Beach so here's what I came up with.

I created some beach tote treats :) I used my imagination for these little totes. Basically, you can use any cup template and then instead of making the shape round just make an oval shape and pinch the sides just a bit. Add trendy twine straps (of course) and you can make them as small or large as you want. Mine are about 3 x 3.5. 

Just a note for the straps, you can just use twine by itself...but gluing the twine on the strips of paper first makes the straps stay up straight. 

 Next is the best part, decorating and embellishing. I knew I was going to use Lemon Tart Trendy Twine so I coordinated everything to match. I found an awesome summer file in the SVG Attic store called Fun in the Sun and used the two cute Suns.

Lastly, I added some fun saltwater taffy and chapstick :)

I hope you enjoyed my project and be sure to head on over to the other stops for more summer inspiration you don't want to miss any of the AWESOME inspiration!

First I created a fun shaker card with the Under the Sea stamps and dies

Using circle dies I created a shaker style card and added an ocean watercolor background.

Oh my gosh, next I used the ADORABLE octopus and colored them in Hot pink :)

Lastly, I added a fun sentiment and some Emerald Isle sequins. This set is just way too cute! You will love the coordinating dies... they are so awesome! 

I also created some sweet tags using Under the Sea stamps and coordinating dies and Tag Essential Dies

I have to say that whale is my favorite! I stamped the fish and whale on the dies and the colored them up up. I water colored some stripes on the small tag from the dies set and added the sea life to the tags. I stamped some fun sentiments and added twine. Simple little tags for gift bags.

....and last but not least I had to use the adorable crab from one of the mini sets.

For this card I used the landscape dies and added some sea salt to mimic sand. Yep I just added a few drops of bronze ink to color the salt. I then just simply glued it to the die cut. That's the part I didn't like because you can see the glue :( but I just wanted to try something new. It adhered pretty well, I just don't know how long it will last :) I hand cut the crab after I colored him up. The clouds are from the sky is the limit dies set. 

If you don't own any CDD stamps I think this is a set to start with! It has some awesome designs and you can take advantage of the bundle price.

Trendy Popcorn Treats

Hey Trendy Fans!

I'm over on the Trendy Blog sharing a fun little treat. Today I'm showcasing  Stars and Stripes Trendy Twine & Red Chevron Favor bags. We celebrate the 4th down at the beach! We play all day then walk home clean up and walk back down for a huge firework show provided by our city.  They light the fireworks right off ocean barges near the shore.  It's pretty amazing! So I thought some cute treats were in order for the 4th of July! What's better on the 4th of July than POPCORN? I used these adorable favor bags to hold some yummy popcorn that we can all carry down to the beach!

I used a die cut for the 4th of July.

I wrapped the number 4 with Stars and stripes Twine. 

I filled the bags with yummy popcorn that I'm sure the kids and adults will love!

Stop by the boutique and check out all the fun goodies!

Die Cuttin Diva's - Wedding or Anniversary

Happy Tuesday! 
It's time for another Die Cuttin Diva's Challenge! This week is all about Weddings and Anniversary projects. Are you like me and tend to buy a wedding or Anniversary card? I hate to admit it but I do :( I have a few but I just forget to grab one before I leave the house :( 
So here's my wedding card that I hope I get to use next weekend. I went with the traditional white and black.

 I used a very simple layout and went with a clean and simple design.  I  die cut flowers in various sizes and used a textured paper to add just a little texture to the very clean look. 
I decided to print the sentiment and use a new font I haven't tried. 
I hope I remember to take it to the wedding!

Please pop over to Die Cuttin Divas Challenge and check out the DT and join us for the challenge! We would love to have you.
