Here's what I've created for you...

I used the new Busy Bees stamp set for all of the stamped elements.

I absolutely LOOOVE these adorable little bees... and they are so fun to color!

The mat layers were cut using the CDD Fancy Frames Dies.

This is definitely my "go-to" set for making cards.

The honeycomb background was created using an embossing folder from Darice.

And I added a little Glossy Accents on the bottom of the heart to give the honey a shiny look.

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".

Happy Birthday ~ Banner card

Hello Crafters!
Happy Saturday to you!!

Today is my DT post over at Craftin Desert Divas, so I thought I'd share it over here as well. :)

Our family has been celebrating A LOT of birthdays lately, so I am in need of replenishing my birthday card stash. :)
So I thought this would be the perfect time to start!!
Tara has released so many fabulous dies in the past few months, that I find myself not having to use my Cameo very much at all.  For this project, I only used it to cut out the "HAPPY" letters:

And not only do I not use my Cameo very often, but I don't need to pull out my sew machine for the stitching either! LOL!
The stitching around the black cardstock is from the "Sew Raggedy" stamp set.. This is my kind of sewing! :)

The tags used to create the banner are from the Mix It Up Dies set. The "Birthday" stamp is from "Bring on the Cake". 
And the scalloped background layer is from  "Fancy Frames Dies".

Here are the CDD products I used:

Hope your holiday sparkles ~ CDD Linky Party

Hello everyone! 

I hope you had a fabulous weekend!
We actually got a little rain here today... which we desperately need here in California!

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 "Make It Sparkle".

For my  Make It Sparkle project, I decided to create a sparkly Christmas card! Sometimes sparkle is hard to photograph, but hopefully you can see it.   :)

I used the Fancy Frame Dies for the scalloped layer of my base. I then used the vine circle die from the CDD Stitched In Circles Dies to create the open area for my shaker. I also cut some glittery red card stock with the same vine circle die and inserted the positive cut I created into the negative area created on my patterned paper.

The Christmas tree image is from the CDD Chill Out stamp set and was colored using my Spectrum Noir markers. I added some "sparkle" to the tree ornaments and star using my Stardust Stickles.

The shaker sequins are from the CDD Star Power sequin mix.

I  stamped my sentiment onto a stitched banner from the CDD Mix It Up Dies and then added some more Stardust Stickles to the "sparkles" on the stamp.
