Beasties are the Best!

Hi Everyone!!

I am back today to share another card created with Craftin Desert Divas "Yeti To Party" stamps.


I did a quick watercolor background and bit of splatter to set the stage for this cute little guy.

I cut my panel with CDD Crazy Stitched Frames and layered it on my card base.

I am a little stuck on this color combo. I hope you don't mind!!


I colored my yeti with Copic markers and popped him up with some foam tape.

The sentiment is from this same stamp set and was stamped on a banner cut from CDD Flag Banner Dies. I layered 2 banners together and offset it a bit. It's not perfect but I don't mind.

I hope you all have a fabulous rest of the week!!

Tis the Season with Craftin Desert Divas

Hi there! It's my day to share a a project on the Craftin Desert Divas Blog.

I created a Christmas card. Hope you like it!

I love the new Christmas Cheer stamps from Craftin Desert Divas! The cute little peeking animals are darling! Today I am featuring the reindeer from the set.


I started this card by inking up a panel with some Distress Ink and sprinkling it with some water. After it was dry I cut it using a frame from CDD Fancy Frames Dies. I use these dies all the time! Love them!!

I decided I wanted my reindeer to peek through a wreath so I created one.


I used CDD Stitched in Circles Dies and cut my wreath circles out a few times with 2 different green  cardstocks and layered them to make this wreath. I added a few gems and bow made with CDD Shaker Tag Dies.

Lastly, I stamped a sentiment from CDD Tis The Season set, a great all around Christmas sentiment set.

I hope this helps you get into the holiday spirit! Make sure to visit us daily for inspiration!

Have a great rest of the week!
