Sending Get Well Wishes ~ CDD Social Media Challenge

Hi There! I hope your week is going well! Today I am sharing a card created for the Craftin Desert Divas Social Media Challenge.


I had fun playing with the Chickie stamp. The cuties were colored with Copic markers and layered on a background cut from the CDD Fancy Frame Dies

I water-colored the panel with Distress Inks before adhere everything down.

My sentiment is from CDD Wishful Thoughts stamps and Tiny Sentiments. I added the first part of the sentiment on a word bubble cut from the CDD Mix It Up Dies.

To finish off my card I added a few CDD Pizazz Sequins and my bard was complete. 

This photo is the Mood Board for January. As you can tell I was inspired by the colors.

Craftin Desert Divas January Release

Hi Everyone! Today I am showing my final project for the Craftin Desert Divas January release.

All products are now in the CDD Shop and available for purchase.

For my final card I used the new Special Delivery Stamps.


I thought it would be fun to use the snails to send some happy mail! They were colored with Copic markers and hand cut. I, also, added the pile of mail!! The sentiment is from the Special Delivery set, as well.

I added the images to a panel cut from CDD Fancy Frames Dies and the grass is from CDD Outdoor Landscape 2 Dies. The final touch was the addition of CDD Shimmer Sequins.

Head on over the CDD Shop to see the full release!!

Craftin Desert Divas January Reveal Day 3

Hi there! Craftin Desert Divas is releasing 4 new stamps and 2 new dies this week! It is exciting!!

Today I am sharing a card made with our new Stitched Box Die.


I love this die! There are so many ways it can be used. I paired it up with the cute little giraffe from the new CDD Special Delivery Stamps.

After coloring and cutting out my giraffe I thought it would be cute to have him pop out of the box with a bunch of hearts.

I used CDD Pocket Pieces Hi Dies to cut all the multiple size hearts in red, pink, and white cardstock and arranged them in the box.

I did a little clear heat embossing on my box, as well. I think the heart is from CDD Market Place Stamps as they were on my desk from a previous project.

Lastly, I add my sentiment. This sentiment from CDD Snow Day stamps. I heat embossed it, as well. Everything was put on a watercolor panel that was inked and cut out with the CDD Fancy Frame Die.


The new stamps and dies will be available for purchase this weekend so be on the lookout!

Craftin Desert Divas January Reveal Day 1

Hi there! Today marks the beginning of the January release for Craftin Desert Divas!

We are showcasing a new stamp set and die.

For my card I am featuring these cute little giraffe and sentiment from the new CDD Special Delivery stamps.


I stamped and colored my giraffe with Copic markers. The giraffe was calling me to put him on a baby card so I went with it. I cut out the giraffe and put him on a onesie. It came together pretty quickly with CDD Tiny Treasure Dies.

Once I had all of my pieces I added them to a background that i inked with some Distress Inks. I used CDD Inside Scalloped Square Dies to create a frame around my card.

If you would like to see more reveals of today's stamps and dies head on over to Facebook and join us on the event page.

Stay tuned for more sneak peeks!

I used quite a few stamps and dies for the spread that I will list at the end.

As for now enjoy a few more pictures!

New Year New Spread! ~ with Craftin Desert Divas

Hi There! Here we are, already 4 days into January! Today I am posting on the Craftin Desert Divas Blog and it features my January spread.

When thinking about how I wanted to decorate my monthly spread I just knew I wanted to use Craftin Desert Divas Dragon Festival stamps.


These stamps are fabulous for your new year planning and the dragons are so fun to color.

I colored all of my images with Copic markers and added some Clear Wink of Stella for added sparkle.



I used some stickers and the CDD Doodled Frames stamps to highlight some key dates.

Craftin Desert Divas has several planner-sized stamp sets, I used several on my spread and will list them at the end.


I hope this inspired you to decorate your planner. It just makes it more fun!

Thank you for joining me today!
