Things with Wings!

This week's challenge at Die Cuttin' Divas is

"Things with Wings"

I made this gift tag using My Creative Time Tag Die, Stitched Curly Label Die, and Pretty Butterflies and Dragonfly die.  Added some ribbon, twine, gems, and stickles.  Layered the dragonfly so I could bend up the wings on the top layer.

We hope you'll join the challenge this week and submit your card, layout or altered project following the theme, "Things with Wings."  Be sure to include a die cut in your creation and link your post back to Die Cuttin' Divas blogspot.

Thanks so much for visiting and for your comments.

Tag, you're it!

Hello Everyone,

This week's challenge at Die Cuttin' Divas is...

TAGS

(make a gift tag/tags or use one in your project)

I made this fun tag using the reindeer from the Doodlecharms cart.  Love that sentiment, even tho it's a reindeer.  I think he could also pass for a moose!!  

Tag - Just Because cart

Embossing - Sizzix Powdered Sugar

Reindeer head - Doodlecharms

Label - MCT

Ribbon from my stash

Hope you'll join the challenge this week and share your TAG projects at Die Cuttin' Divas.  Be sure to use a die cut and link your post back to the DCD site.

Thanks for stopping by.

Arrr Matey!

I was asked to create a card with a pirate theme for a man that was getting married, using a photo of the man's face as the pirate.  Here's what I came up with.  What do you think?

I found this pirate ship paper in my DCWV All About Boys stack and created the plank with some kraft cardstock and a woodgrain stamp.  The man and woman pirates were found on clip art. 

Sentiment on the inside, along with some hooks!

And a gift tag to go with the bottle of rum they gave him as a gift.

Thanks for stopping by, appreciate your visits and love to read your comments.

Die Cuttin' Divas Challenge #99

We've got a new challenge for you at Die Cuttin' Divas this week.  The challenge is to use an edge punch and ribbon in your project.

-------------------------------------

I made some tags. I've had these tags in my stash for probably 2 years now.  They measure about 4" x 2-3/8".  I decided it was time to use them.  They started out looking like this.

And they ended up looking like this.

As you can see, I used ribbon on each tag, and an edge punch on three of the tags.  I'll share the ingredients for each tag separately, so you can jump to the one you're interested in, or just look at the photos!



Let me tell you first that our sponsor for this challenge (and last week's challenge) is The Robin's Nest, and they are generously providing a $50 gift certificate!! 

We hope you'll join the challenge this week and submit your card, layout, or altered project using ribbon and an edge punch.  You have one week to plan, create, and submit your project.  Remember to include which die cut you used and a link back to Die Cuttin' Divas.  You may enter up to 3 projects per challenge.  The prizes span two weeks of challenges with a winner being announced every other week from two combined challenges.


Be sure to check out all the Design Team's projects for some inspiration!


Now, a little note to say that I recently won some goodies from Karen at Little Scrap Pieces, which included all the beautiful crinkle ribbon you see on my tags (excluding the brown ribbon), and a great embossing folder used on the purple tag.  Thanks, Karen!

Sealed with a Kiss:
EK Success scalloped edge punch used on the striped paper.
Ribbon from Little Scrap Pieces (LSP)

Scalloped heart cut from Doodlecharms at 3"
White heart cut at 2-1/2", both on pg. 85
My Cricut ran off the card stock when cutting  the scalloped heart, but I actually liked how it looked on the tag, so I went with it!  
Funny how that worked out!!






For You:
Cut mat from brown cardstock and punched the bottom edge with MS Eyelet Lace punch.
Patterned paper on top of that.
Brown ribbon from my stash.

EK Success label punch.
Stamp is $1.00 wooden stamp that I've had for a long time.
Blue Liquid pearls.
Flower from LSP.








Hello Friend:
Crinkle ribbon from LSP.
I embossed a piece of white cardstock with the 
Sizzix Flower Vine Embossing Folder (courtesy of Karen, LSP), and then lightly inked it with victorian violet ink.

No edge punch was used on this tag, but the decorative flower is a die cut from the Sizzix Decorative Frames Set.

Stampendous clear stamps.
Purple flower and brad.






Happy Birthday:
Used the Fiskars grass punch on yellow, green, and patterned cardstock, then turned the punched pieces upside down and layered them on the tag.

Yellow ribbon from LSP.
Fiskars Scalloped Oval Punches, sizes medium and large.
Happy Birthday wooden  stamp.
