Baby Card

Hello! Today I have a sweet baby card to share which was created the new Arched Stitched Tag Die Set from Gina Marie Designs.  Tag dies are my absolute favorite and when I saw these, I knew I had to create something with them immediately.  The papers for my card are from the DCWV Nana's Nursery stack.

For my card, I cut out the base with GMD Stitched Rectangles Die Set.  I used the bottom of the tag to create the little pocket and used the Martha Stewart Doily Border punch to add the lace border.  A phrase cut from the Cricut Holiday Cakes cartridge was adhered to the pocket.  The tags were cut in two different sizes and embellished with a little button and some ribbon. I finished off my card with a couple of paper flowers and some GMD Soft Pink Pearls for the flower center.

Thanks so much for stopping by!  Have a wonderful day!

Craftin Desert Diva's "Anything Goes" Linky Party

 

Welcome to another Craftin Desert Diva's Linky Party.  The theme for this linky party is anything goes.  For my project I created a double page 12x12 layout.

This layout was created using four cartridges; Holiday Cakes for the doily, Cricut Essentials for the flourishes, Gypsy Wanderings for the title and Flower Shoppe for all of the flowers.  All of the die cuts were inked on the edges.  The Textile Cuttlebug embossing folder was used on the flag and title for added dimension.  Coordinating twine bows made from Nautical Trendy Twine were used as an embellishment.

The flag was hand cut, embossed and embellished with some crinkle ribbon and flowers.  Each of the flowers were accented with Stickles for the center.

The layout was finished off with this hand cut tag which was punched with the Fiskars Scalloped Daisy Embossing punch on one end.  A coordinating button was added to the tag.

We have some awesome sponsors for this linky party:

You Are My Sunshine Layout

This single page 12x12 layout was created using the Holiday Cakes cartridge for the doily and Just Because cards for the title.

The border at the center of the page was punched from the Martha Stewart Doily Garden Trim Punch Around the Page set.  I punched two different sized scalloped circles and added a flower center to create an embellishment for the border.

All of the flags were cut by hand.  Stormy Trendy Twine was used to accent the photo mat and title of the layout.

Life Layout

For this layout, I went into my stash for many of the items.  The doily was cut from the Holiday Cakes cartridge and the flowers from the Flower Shoppe cartridge.

The title was created using chipboard letters which were also in my stash of goodies.  They coordinated perfectly with the paper.

The border was punched from the Martha Stewart Doily Lace border punch.  I inked it on the edges.

A small paper button was left over from another project so I added it to the center of the flower with a touch of Stormy Trendy Twine.  The small photo mat was also outlined with the twine.

Some paper flowers with pearl centers along with layered flower stickers were used as embellishments.

The "Live Laugh Love" sentiment was added to a hand cut flag and accented with a few more flowers.

A couple of journaling tags also from my stash were tucked behind the photo mats.  I added some twine to each of the tags.

The Martha Stewart Doily Lace border punch was used on the top and bottom of the layout.  Lemon Tart Trendy Twine was used to accent the flower banners.  

The negative piece from the heart in the title was outlined with Nautical Trendy Twine and used as an embellishment.

The flags were cut by hand to create the banner along the bottom of the photo mat.  Some more twine was used to adhere the banner together.

Beauty Layout

This layout was created using the Holiday Cakes cartridge for the doily, Cricut Essentials for the buttons and Flower Shoppe for the flowers.

I layered my doily on top of another doily from my stash and split the two in half to use on each of the pages.

The border on the sides of the layout was created by using the Martha Stewart Arch Lattice and Diamond Fence Trim punches.  The two borders were adhered together.

The title was a chipboard sticker from my stash which was added to a large hand cut flag and embellished with Posy Trendy Twine.

Several coordinating chipboard stickers were added throughout the two pages.  I used a couple of journaling tags on my layout and added a couple of them to my hand cut tags behind the photo mats.

A ribbon trim from my stash was used on the photo mats.  A few paper flowers, buttons and twine bows finished off the layout.

Love You Layout

This Valentine themed layout was created using the Holiday Cakes cartridge for the title and the Valentine Sweets Digital cartridge for the teddy bears.

The two teddy bears were the same cut, however for the girl bear I used Peachy Keen Critter Faces stamp set.  The bears and hearts were popped up on foam dots.

 

For the background of the layout, I used the Fiskars Apron Lace border punch.

The bears were inked on the edges for some definition. A little chalk was added to their cheeks and some doodling with my white gel pen.

The hearts were embellished with the Love Language Cuttlebug embossing folder.  The smaller heart was outlined with Cherry Cupcake Trendy Twine.  The twine was also used to add a couple of small bows and also to outline the oval on the title.

The layout was finished off with a "love" sticker added to a hand cut flag and a metal heart placed between two photo mats.

Driver's License Layout

Here's a fun layout I created to scrapbook pictures of my daughter the day she received her driver's license a few months ago.  I used 5 different cartridges for this layout.

I really wanted to create a California license plate with my daughters name so I find one on the Holiday Cakes cartridge.

The key was cut from Locker Talk, California was cut from the Billionaire cartridge and Shareen was cut from Don Juan.

I also used two metal buttons for bolts on the license plate.

Both the car and the "Hit the Road" sign were cut from Locker Talk.  The road was cut from My Community.

I kept the colors and cuts very simple on this layout since I wanted the emphasis to be on the license plate.

I again used my white gel pen to add some faux stitching to the sign.
