Due to Hurricane Irma...
Hello all! Some of you may or not know that I live in Florida, which currently Florida is in the direct path of Hurricane Irma, not to mention there is another very powerful hurricane (Hurricane Jose) just behind that. My family and I have prepared the best we can for this catastrophic storm (plus possibly a second hurricane) and now all we can do is pray that we as well as all those in its path will be safe. Due to the hurricane I wanted to make a post to address the giveaway I was having for the 30 Days of Diemond Dies, which I was to announce a winner on September 11th. Unfortunately, no one even entered my giveaway, so sadly there is no winner to announce :( I was very much hoping to award a package of Diemond Dies and other goodies to someone in my giveaway, but with no entries, I will instead be passing on the prize pack to a very special crafty lady that recently did a very generous thing for someone she didn't even know... me :) I will hold another giveaway in the future though. For all those reading this that live in Florida or whom are in the path of Hurricane Irma, I send you all my thoughts and prayers. I as well continue to pray for all those affected by the hurricane that hit Texas just recently. Thank you for stopping by today and happy crafting!

30 Days of Diemond Dies Project #3
Happy Monday to you all! I am back to share my third 30 Days of Diemond Dies Guest Design Team Project! For my project today I used the Diemond Dies Fluttering Butterfly Die Set
and the Die-Normous Stack-Ems Nesting Scalloped Circles Die Set. I just
wanted to point out how fabulous the dies are from Diemond Dies. The
technique I used today consisted of several layers needing to be die cut
all at once and these dies cut through them all in one pass like
butter. They truly are amazing dies!
I wanted to remind you all that 30 Days of Diemond Dies will be coming to an end soon so be sure to take advantage of the prize drawings and discount.

O.k. now that we have all that covered lets get onto the details of today's project.
 |
| An angled view to show the glitter sparkle better |
To make today's project I started by selecting fine glitters in different colors. These glitters can be purchased almost anywhere from craft stores, big box stores, to even the dollar stores. I chose four colors in total. All four of my colors came from the Recollections brand. Then I covered one side of plain Georgia White Cardstock with Sookwang Tape, do not remove the adhesive cover. On the side that has the tape face up, I placed the largest die from the Diemond Dies Ems Scalloped Circle Die Set along with the two butterflies from the Diemond Dies Fluttering Butterfly Die Set and ran them through my cutting machine. I then removed the scalloped circle die completely but positioned the butterflies in new spots until the entire surface had butterfly cuts. I as well ran a smaller piece of white cardstock, again with the Sookwang Tape covering it, plus the two butterfly dies through my die cutting machine. This gave me the base to make the two additional butterflies seen floating on the card. I cut an additional scalloped circle separately which will be used to make the inside/back of the card.
Once I had all my pieces, I gently took a pointed tool and began removing the adhesive covering off the tape but only removing the covering on the areas I wanted to cover with one specific glitter color. Once the covering was removed I poured glitter over the tape and rubbed the glitter in making sure the tape was covered. I brushed off all the glitter that did not stick and replaced it back into the container. A Swiffer sheet helps to clean up and remove any excess glitter. What's great is that you can reuse these Swiffer sheets and since you only need a small portion of the sheet, a small box can last you for years. You will repeat this process for each color and will do this technique for wherever you want glitter to cover your paper and as well do the technique on the two butterflies that will be floating. Here is a link to a video where Jennifer McGuire uses this same technique but with embossing powder instead of glitter https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=4kOjlkWqIVY
You may notice in my peach glitter background that there are lines. I did this intentionally because I wanted to give it more dimension. I was able to do this by using strips of Sookwang tape and putting a very slight gap between each row of tape. If you do not wish to have the lines then you will simply make sure there is no space/gaps between the rows of tape or you can use a solid sheet of Sookwang tape instead.
Lastly I scored the piece of the round plain scalloped cardstock at 1/2" down from the top. Place Sookwang tape or any other adhesive above the score line. Attach it to the back of your designed glitter piece and Viola you have a full card. To put finishing touches on my card, I randomly placed Doodle Bug Glitter Dots on the front and glue my floating glitter butterflies on top. (place glue just on the body of the butterflies then once dry pull up on the wings to get the floating effect) Ta Da I'm all done ;) Thank you so much again for joining me today! I wish you all a beautiful day!

30 Days of Diemond Dies Project #2
Happy Thursday Everyone! I am back today to share my second 30 Days of
Diemond Dies Guest Design Team Project with you! Before we get to my project though I wanted to remind you about the 30 Days of Diemond Dies. During the 30 Days of Diemond Dies myself along with many other Design Team members and Guest Designers will be showcasing projects featuring products from Diemond Dies. Diemond Dies will be having giveaways as well as discounts when you shop their online store. So when you're finished viewing my project be sure you head over to the Diemond Dies Facebook page (click here to go directly to Diemond Dies Facebook or use link below), once there like and comment on each of the 30 Days of Diemond Dies
daily posts, that way you will be entered into all the fabulous
giveaway drawings!
For today's project I made this super cute card. My card base is an A2 card which measures 4.25" x 5.5". To get this measurement simply cut a piece of 8.5" x 11" cardstock in half (this will actually give you two A2 card bases). Score the cardstock at 4.25" then fold at the scoreline. I used Recollections Black Cardstock for my base. I then used the More Stitched Rectangular Dies and Stitched Rectangular Frame Dies & More from My Creative Time to cut White Georgia Pacific Cardstock as well as Recollections Orange Cardstock to add layers and dimension to my card. I wanted the orange cardstock layer to look like a piece of cheese so in order to do that I used the More Stitched Circle Dies from My Creative Time to cut circles as well as half circles into the cardstock. I hand cut a triangle from the orange cardstock then used two different sized hole punches to make it look like cheese (this is the cheese on the fork). For the "fork" I used the Diemond Dies Garden Tools Die Set to cut a piece of aluminum foil. I then cut the film strip using the Diemond Dies Filmstrip die. I cut that from the same Recollections Black Cardstock. Those adorable little mice came from a Mama Elephant stamp set called Tandem Ride. I stamped them with Memento Tuxedo Black Ink then colored them with Copic color RV32, R81 (inside ears) and Spectrum Noir alchohol markers colors IG2, IG4, IG6 (body). Lastly I added Wink of Stella Clear Glitter Pen to make them cuties sparkle. Oh, the sentiment "Say Cheese" was stamped using an alphabet stamp set and I also used some Distress Inks to certain parts of the cardstock. To adhere the entire card together I used a combination of glues and double sided tapes.
Well that wraps up my project for today :) Thank you so much for joining me and remember to come back August 28th!

I've Missed You All!
My-oh-my how I've missed you all! My sincere apologies for not being around in a while as it has been almost a year since my last post, which I cannot believe it has been that long! I would like to thank everyone that has messaged me to check up on me and who have kept me in their prayers, it has meant the world to me! For those who might not know, sadly the health issues I've dealt with over the years rapidly got worse along with new health problems arising on top of that, I unfortunately had to abruptly take time away from crafting in order to focus on my health. Currently things are being managed as best as possible so I am able to get back to doing what I love, crafting and card making :) I have just started to work on some projects so as I get them completed I will share them with you all. I hope you all will please stay tuned to my blog so we can get to crafting together again ;) Talk to you all soon!

60 Days of Diemond Dies - Creation #1
Hello everyone! I am here today to share my first project for the 60 Days of Diemond Dies! In case you didn't see my last post, let me tell you what it is. 60 Days of Diemond Dies is where Guest Design Team Members along with the current DT Members will be sharing projects they've made using Diemond Dies products throughout the months of June, July, and a couple days in August. Dee the owner of Diemond Dies will also be giving away some amazing prizes! If you would like a chance to win, and after you have viewed my project, hop on over to Diemond Dies Facebook page where you will need to "Like" their page and then comment on the projects featured during the 60 Days of Diemond Dies. Easy peasy, right!
Dee was super kind and sent me some products to use on my projects, but her graciousness didn't stop there, as she also gave me two discount offers! The first is a discount code for 10% off your purchases at the Diemond Dies store plus free shipping if you spend $35 or more on products (this is for both US and International orders)! Just use the code thankscharity for that offer. If you spend less than $35 on products use the code save10 to still get 10% off however your shipping will not be free. Isn't that awesome that you get two codes and chances to win prizes! Woo Hoo! So when you are ready to go shopping at the Diemond Dies Store just click here.
Be sure to save or write down the 10% discount & free shipping code on product purchases of $35 or more which is thankscharity OR the 10% discount code for product purchases less than $35 which is save10, this way you will have the codes all ready when shopping. (I will be putting all the direct links down below to Diemond Dies Facebook page, Diemond Dies store, and Diemond Dies YouTube Channel so you can just click on them to be directly taken there)
Well, I better get on with sharing my project so that you all can head on over to Diemond Dies :) For my card I used all the products that Dee sent me because I just loved them all so much that I couldn't decide which to use first so I used them all, lol! As always I will list all the products I used on my card down below. If you would like to hear more details about my card as well as see the Diemond Dies products I used you can click here to view the video I made on my YouTube channel :)

Coffee, Coffee, Coffee!
Howdy all! I am here today to share a card I made using a super cute digi image from Craftin Desert Divas called Coffee Cup Mouse. I absolutely love coffee so when I saw this my mind started going crazy with all the things I wanted to do and stamp sets I wanted to combine, sadly I couldn't do everything that I wanted or else this card would have been one hot mess, lol! However, I ended up pairing it with some of my most favorite Craftin Desert Divas stamp sets called Thankful Squeaks and Lovies. I of course had to jazz my card up with some sparkly goodness so I used Wink of Stella on my coffee cup and the eyes of that adorable mouse as well as inside on the sentiment. I was also super blessed to receive the new Rose Gold Embossing Powder from Simon Says Stamp which went perfectly with the colors on my card so I used that to emboss the sentiment seen on the front of the card.
That pretty much wraps up my card but before I finish up I wanted to remind you about all the fun things happening at Craftin Desert Divas during the month of April. Starting April 1st Craftin Desert Divas will be starting a new Monthly Digi Challenge. The theme will is "Welcome Spring", so we would love to have you join us, and by doing so you could have the chance to win a $10 code to use in the CDD Shop! Anytime during the month of April just click here to be taken to the CDD Facebook Gallery where you can find out further details and upload your entry. You can also find the weekly free digital stamp over at the CDD Shop in which you could use for the challenge as long as it fits the theme. Isn't that awesome! Craftin Desert Diva's will be having their "Linky Parties" as well, which you can find all that information in the CDD Facebook Gallery too. Then starting on April 4th they will be starting Sneak Peeks of the April Release which you can click here for all the Release details. Wow, I know that's a lot but it's going to be so much fun so I hope you will join us! Thank you so much for stopping by my blog today, it means the world to me that you took the time! I wish you a wonderful day!
