New Challenge at Die Cuttin' Divas

This week's challenge...

Wobble it or add dimension

I don't have any wobbles, so I added foam squares to my card to pop up the sentiment and the banner.

Now don't tell, but this is for my nephew, Eric, for his upcoming birthday! 

I used My Creative Times dies and stamps:

Fun Ticket stamps

Ticket dies

Build a Banner kit

Lowercase fun dies

Stitched 4x6 journal die

Ribbon

Skittles!

Hope you'll join in the challenge this week.  Make a card, layout, or project using a Wobble.  But if you don't have a wobble, then add dimension to your creation.  Link your post back to the Die Cuttin' Divas web site.

Thanks for stopping by.  I really appreciate it.

Sketch Challenge

Time for a 

Sketch Challenge at

Die Cuttin' Divas!

This is the card I made.

Here's the sketch.

As you can see, I decided to turn the sketch for my card so I could use the car die cut on it.  The car is from the Cricut Father's Day cartridge.  I used silver metallic paper for the wheels and grill, so it was a little hard to photograph. 

We hope you'll join the challenge this week using the sketch shown above.  Be sure to use a die cut too, and link your post back to Die Cuttin' Divas.

I'd like to link to these challenges:
Through the Craft Room Door - anything goes
Little Scrap Pieces Show It Off Saturday - anything goes
DL Art May Linky Party - anything goes

Girly Girl

Hi Everyone!

It's Tuesday, so there's a new challenge at

Die Cuttin Divas.

This week, it's Make It Girly.

And I don't think you can get much girlier than this card!

This card measures 5 x 6-1/2".  I found that cute background paper in a barely-used K&Company paper pad called Berry Sweet.  The princess is cut at 5" from Birthday Cakes cartridge and I added the doily trim at the bottom of her dress, along with her crown, which are both made with edge punches.  The sentiment is an All Around Stamp from My Creative Time. I gave her a PK face.  Of course, I had to add glitter in all the right places, ribbon, pearls, and a heart gem.

We hope you'll join in the challenge this week and link up your "Girly" project to Die Cuttin' Divas.  Be sure to use a die-cut too.

Thanks for stopping by!

DCD Challenge

Here's the new challenge at Die Cuttin' Divas this week.

In honor of Earth Day (today), use something

RECYCLED.

I was having trouble coming up with something recycled.  I had thought of repurposing a container, but didn't want to duplicate what my design team sisters were doing.

So I recycled a calendar my daughter gave me years ago.  It was a desktop crafty calendar intended to be re-used for making scrapbook pages, etc.  I know, not very creative!  But I was happy to put it to use since I've only used it maybe once or twice.    

I pulled out these pages to start, and cut the party bird from the Birthday Cakes cartridge.  I think the pink polka dots that I wound up using on the bird look much better than my original selection of the reddish-orange paper.

Be sure to visit the Die Cuttin' Divas blog to see all the other recycled projects made by our Diva Design Team.  We hope you'll join in the challenge this week using something recycled in your project.  Be sure to use a die cut, too, and link your post to DCD.

Thanks for stopping by; appreciate it!

I'd like to enter this card into the
BBTB2 challenge - use a bird.
