Lovely Dove

This is my post on the
Tutti Designs blog today.

Hi there!
Diane with you today with three fun cards using the beautiful die
'Lovely Dove'

This is the perfect die to use for someone you 'love',
a birthday, wedding, holiday or just about any occasion.

I have three different cards,
so lets get started.

My first card is using a simple hearts stamped background,
a paper doily lacy heart 
with the dove being die from a white shimmer paper.

The second card has an embossed tree background,

and shows 'much love'.....

the dove was cut from a shiny polka dot white designer paper,

a few red glitter hearts were added.

Lastly, I have a card that would be perfect for a wedding.

I wish you could see this card IRL as it is full of shimmery goodness.

Using a Scalloped Stitched Nesting Rectangles

a rectangle was cut from a metallic/shimmer paper.

The Dove was cut from a pink shimmer paper.

A Tutti Designs Nesting Stitched Hearts

was die cut and stamped with the word love.

Tot finish out all the shimmery goodness,

I added a silver shimmer bow.

Hey Chick

Today at The Sisterhood of Crafters we have a new challenge theme

being hosted by our 'sistah' TERRI

and she has chosen the fun theme of 

Chicks and/or Bunnies.

So grab your chick/bunny dies or stamps and join in the fun!

Speaking of fun, I fired up my Cricut and cut this cute

 Hairy Chick Shaped Card

using a SVG file from The Cutting Cafe.

I really decked her out

and a bit 'gaudy' I might add...LOL...

but I wanted to use up some of those 'store bought'

flowers that I seem to have a ton of!

I used scraps for her  'shell' at the bottom,

added a feather a scrap ribbon bow at the top!

That's about it, as my Cricut did most f the 'work' for me.

Make sure and visit The Sisterhood and see all the cute bunnies

and chicks my 'sistahs' have created!!

Flower Smile

This is my post on the Tutti Designs blog today

Hello Tutti Design friends,
Diane with your today with a fun die
'Flower Smile'

I made three different cards using this die.
The first one is created using an embossing folder as a background.
I simply die cute two ovals from 
Scalloped Stitched Nesting Ovals
to layer and place my smile flower on.
I die cut the flower from green card,
then die cut the flower from a purple paper
and added a green gem to the center.

For my second card, I used rectangles from

Scalloped Stitched Nesting Rectangles

and for a bit of variation,

I turned the smile flower on it's side.

The last card was pretty much created by using rectangles from both the

Scalloped Stitched Nesting Rectangles

and

Cross Stitched Nesting Rectangles.

For a bit of variation from the other two cards,

I place a scalloped circle underneath the flower part using

Scalloped Stitched Nesting Circles.

I really like the added circle .

Wellies

Happy Easter All!

Not only is is Easter, but it just so happens that it is also

the day the design team comes together

all in one place at

The Cutting Cafe blog

to share all our projects!

(because of time differences, it will show up later in the day for some)

We are normally to have our posts up before the actual

group day, but I had an unforeseen delay.

Anyhow, this post is a rather 'special' one for me as during the month of April

some of the team joined in with Joy Clair to collaborate

Joy Clair stamps and The Cutting Cafe cut files.

I am double collaborating as I am 

showing both on the same day as the group post.

Fun? You bet!!

For my project I chose from Joy Clair the cutest stamp set

'Spring Stroll'

and from The Cutting Cafe

Rain Boots~Wellies. 

I have always loved making these wellies

and as soon as I saw the Spring Stroll stamp set

I knew they were a match made in heaven!!

The Spring Stroll stamp set has many different stamps to choose from,

but you can see I chose a corner flower for the envelope

and the cutest wellies for my tag on the wellies.

I colored the boots in with Copics and added a bit of a stardust pen for sparkle.

I also added sparkle to the envelope corner flower as well.

The envelope is part of the Rain Boots~Wellies cut file.

From the same stamp set I stamped the sentiment inside.

Aren't these two just the cutest together?

So make sure and take a peak over at  The Cutting Cafe blog

to see all the fun projects from my 'teammates'

and check out the stamps at Joy Clair

and all the cut files (they come in PDF too)

at The Cutting Cafe Shop!!

Butterfly Kisses

Double D Challenge is back with a new theme.
Can you guess what it is?
Black and White of course!!

Thee is a fun mood board below just to get you inspired!

For my card (well actually I made two)
I used another favorite die of mine
(I know I say that all the time...but it's true...really!)
Memory Box Reverse Butterfly Collage.
I mean this die is so fabulous, it really does all the work for you
and can be used for almost any occasion!

The sentiment is from 
Stampendous Spring Sentiments

I was so pleased with the first card

that I did a reverse of the reverse LOL!

I thought white on white cards were difficult to photograph

but this black one was hard enough!

I heat embossed the sentiment with Versamark ink

and SNS White Detail EB powder.

The sentiment is from 

Elizabeth Craft Designs Little Words That Mean A Lot.

If you want to see some gorgeous and elegant

cards by our fabulous design teams

and there is a really neat prize up for grabs!!

Fancy Saw Cards

This is my post on the
Tutti Designs blog today.

Hi my Tutti Friends,
Diane with you today 
with a fun die just perfect for that man in your life!

I have three cards to share today using the fun
'Fancy Saw' die.

The first card was created by using a somewhat 'manly'
designer paper to which I added a red piece of card stock.

I die cut a tag from  Nesting Stitched Tags
added a twine at the top of the tag.
The saw was cut from a silver metallic paper
and I die cut just the handle again from red and paper pieced it.
I made a computer generated sentiment,
'then added  a few silver 'candi' dots.

The second card is more a 'Father's Day' card

using an embossing folder and a few fun designer papers

that seemed perfect for a 'guy'.

The saw was cut from silver metallic paper,

then adhered to a Tutti Designs oval using

Nesting Stitched Ovals.

The sentiment was stamped on a 

Nesting Stitched Rectangles.

The last card was created using a spatter stamp for the background

and a rectangle from Nesting Stitched Rectangles.

The two saws were die cut from silver metallic papers.

sentiments and 'candi' dots were added to finish.

April Showers

A new day, a new challenge at
Dies R Us and our theme is
'April Showers'.



Well, as they say
April Showers Bring May Flowers
so I went with that by using the cutest die
Cheapo Dies Boot Bouquet 
It was die cut from white card stock
then colored in with copics.

I adhered the boot to a die cut square from
Tutti Designs Dotted Nesting Squares.

Of course the theme is April Showers
so I added a few rain drops.
The sentiment is from Stampendoous.

Springtime Cheer

Happy Sunday!!

We have a cold and rainy day with 90% rain/snow mix...

yep I said snow and my Daffodils and Hyacinths just came into bloom...

not a thing I can do about it!!

So to brighten up the day here I have two

Tutti Designs Spring cards to share

in bright and cheerful colors!

The first card uses the scrolly bunny die,

clouds and grass are impression obsession and the butterfly is a punch.

The second card uses the Easter Flower Basket die.

Scrolly Bunny

Have a great rest of the day...I hope you are having NICE

Springtime weather in your 'neck of the woods'!!

Springtime

A couple more cards today featuring

Tutti Designs once again.

First card up is a Springtime one using

the Holy Crosses die.

The second card uses the Praying Hands Egg die.

Not much explaining of either card as you can see all

I did was add designer paper, flowers on both and a bow on one.

Holy Crosses

Praying Hands Egg

I will be back tomorrow with a couple more cards from this

Springtime/Easter release.

Easter Egg

With Easter fast approaching

I thought I would start putting a few of my

Tutti Designs Easter cards on.

Today I have a card that you really have to 'focus'

your eyes on the gingham print to see the design....

kind of a fooler.

Here is a second card I made using the same die,

which this one you can see the detail a bit better.

I added glitter behind the egg.

Easter Egg Scene

I'll be back tomorrow with a few Spring cards...

WAIT, what is Spring??

We haven't seen it yet, not sure there is really such a thing!!!
