Wanna Hug?

Hello Crafters!
I hope you have been enjoying the holidays.

We have been very blessed to have my mom staying with us during Christmas and she will be staying through the new year as well. 

Today is my day to post over at
 Craftin Desert Divas.




  For the month of December we will be featuring 

one stamp set a day for three days ,
while we are showcasing the stamp set it will also be on sale in the
just for the three days that we are showcasing it ,
 then a new set will be showcased and that will then be on sale . 

The set we are using right now is
 "Wanna Hug?".

Here is what I created with this fun stamp set:

Isn't that little jellyfish just the cutest?

I made the circle background by using the "Stitched In Circle Dies". 
 I created a mask using the negative of the circle die and used distress inks for the water.

The sand was created using the "Outdoor Landscape Dies", then cut again using the same circle die I used for the background.
The sand grains were made using the newly released "Across the Borders" stamp.

Just Pigcause

Hello Crafters!
Today I am sharing a card I created for my Design Team post over at Craftin Desert Divas.
For the month of December the DT will showcase a different  stamp set every three days, and during this time the stamp set will also be on sale in the CDD shop
The stamp set being showcased from Dec. 4-6 is "Just Pigcause".
I absolutely LOVE the cute little piggy images and sentiments on this set. :)
To  make this card, I adhered the cute piggy to the circles I cut out with the CDD "Stitched In Circle Dies"... the grass mound is from the CDD "Outdoor Landscape Dies".
I then cut the polka dotted background and the circles using my "go-to" die set CDD "Fancy Frames"
I cut the fun banner using the CDD "Party Dies".

And here is the fun sentiment:

Merry Little Wishes and Sticky Holiday Kisses ~ CDD Linky Party

Hello everyone! 
I hope you had a fabulous weekend!
Can you even believe that Thanksgiving is only a few days away??  It's just crazy how every year goes by faster and faster!
I wish I knew how to slow it down.
Anyways... it's time for another CDD Linky Party!

Today is my design team post for Craft It Up & Link It Up Linky Party hosted by Tara of Craftin Desert Divas! Every other Monday will mark the beginning of a new semi-weekly linky party and you could win fabulous prizes!!


This linky party theme is "Christmas".



The sponsors are:

Too Cute by Jessica: $25 Gift Card


The more you link up, the better chance you have to win.  Visit Craftin Desert Divas for all the rules and to play along.


Here is what I created:

I found this cute little gable box on the Silhouette Online Store.  It did not have an opening in the center to display the candy, so I just added one in my SSDE software.  I then cut out the wrealth from the CDD Stitched In Circles Dies and placed it around the circle. 

My sentiment is from the CDD "Get Your Jingle On" stamp set, which I stamped on a square from "Francy Frame Dies".

And the adorable gingy bear is from Marjorie Ann Designs "12 Bears of Christmas~ Set 1".


These are the  Craftin Desert Divas products I used:
