Today I'm sharing a cute little gift bag. 

I wanted to make a few bags, tags, & GC holders as my son and his friends all turn 11 this year.  It seems like I'm always in a rush to package a gift and I thought of putting a few of these together so I have them for the occasion. I just hope I remember where to find them - HAHA

I started with the CDD Happy Celebrations set and a Chevron Gift bag from Annies Paper Boutique.

I die cut the number 11 and a star and popped it up for a little dimension.

Lastly, I stamped this fun sentiment on a postage stamp die cut and tied it with some Midnight Trendy Twine. I think this is perfect for a gift card and some candy!!

Don't forget to join us tomorrow for the NEW RELEASE!!

Stop by Craftin Desert Diva's Shop to purchase the newest release and don't forget to join the 

  CDD Gallery - We'd love you to share your projects using the CDD stamps.

Hi Everyone!
 
Good weekend? They go by way too fast don't they? I had just a few minutes this weekend to put together a card for the Peachy Keen Stamps - Photo inspiration & the My Creative Time Challenge - Pumpkin
 
 

I definitely was inspired by that gorgeous sky and the beautiful colors of orange!

 

I created a background using chalks.

That cute pumpkin is made from ovals using the George cartridge.

Hi Everyone!

I'm home! We had an absolute blast on our vacation! We spent the week all over Oregon with some of our dearest friends! We did it all... from downtown Portland to wine tasting, a water park, the coast, nature walks, and so much more.  Our families had such a wonderful time together and we didn't want to leave :( 

Well, while I have the 3rd load of laundry in the machines:) I made a card for a few challenges. 

Oh gosh, every time I see that face.... Oh so CUTE! I used the Peachy stamp of the month kit PKSC-18 and stamped it on a 3" circle cut from the George cartridge.

Die Cuttin Diva - Guest Diva

Hi Everyone!

I'm excited to share that I am Guest Diva today over at Die Cuttin Divas. Thank you Georgiana! 
Today's theme for the DCD challenge is Penguins so I wanted to make something special for the occasion:) I have been so inspired lately and crafting almost every night :) My gypsy girl needs a rest! 
  I hope you have a chance to pop over to Die Cuttin Divas and join in the fun!

These two penguins were created using Number 8's from the George cartridge. The arms were a layer shape from Sweet treats welded to the body.

The inside (white) is created by using a heart balloon and regular balloon from CAC cartridge. I welded the two together. After that the card was SIMPLE. Hand cut snow hill for the penguins to slide down and some snowflakes and all done!

And of course who can forget their adorable Peachy faces!

I quickly wanted to share the card I made for the Peachy Keen Challenge. This week it's a sketch challenge. The DT has been so inspiring with the new release I really wanted to use a teddy bear.  I created one using my gyspy and the CAC bear and just added some circles from the George cartridge for the bears feet. Welded everything together and I came up with this. I wanted to use some non traditional colors for Valentines day. 

The hearts are from Plantin cartridge

Boo! "You've been Booed"

Hi Everyone!
I'm stopping in to share a cute little project. Have you heard of "You've been Booed" well if you have then you know it's a fun little game you play near Halloween. You secretly leave some treats on your neighbors doorstep and leave a little note letting them know they've been booed. It's a FUN game the kids look forward to during the fall. Typically, you pick one or two neighbors and then they pick one or two and so on..... But last year I noticed that a few were missed, so this year I thought I would still do a fun basket or two but I also thought I would make a few more simple treats for some of the older neighbors that love all our kids so much!

 It's a fun little door hanger. I haven't purchased the Art Philosophy cartridge but I did get the idea from the cartridge.

For the Door Hanger I used my gypsy and the Cricut Cartridges Tie the knot, George & Wild Card

The "Boo" is from the Cricut Cartridge Robotz & the ghost is from Mini Monster

 Door Hanger approx. 6" x 3

Paper - DCWV

Stamps - Eyes are from PK-692 Monster Mash Face Assortment 

& the mouth is from PK-532 PK-532 Simple Sallies 1 1/8"

Ink - Tim Holtz

Machine Stitched
