Sweet Birthday

Today's card for the Die cut Diva's  is a simple birthday card. You may notice a theme to my cards for the Diva's this month and that is because I decided to make them all using the same set from Gina K Designs (our fantastic sponsor this month). I'm using the strawberry theme set because I love strawberries and April is the month for the Poteet, Tx strawberry festival (which I loved to go to when we lived there).



I cut down some red cardstock to fit the card base and die cut a triangle out of it. Stamped and colored the strawberries with the sentiment underneath.

Share a Latte

Today's post is for the new challenge over at Open-Minded Crafting Fun. This months theme is Easter/pastel colors. I decided to you pastel colors so that I could use my new paper pad.



I colored my image with colored pencils and then fussy cut it. Layered my pattern paper panels on the card base and called it done. Sorry this is a short post, but the card was pretty simple to put together.

Don't forget to hop over to the blog and join this months challenge for your chance to win one of our prizes. We can't wait to see what you share with us!

Thanks for stopping by and have a great day!!!

Cheers!

Hello can't believe it's April 9th already and that means it's time for my first post of the month for the Die Cut Diva's. Our challenge this month is to make a card with an April associated theme, such as Easter, Rain, Storms, April Fools Day, Spring, Autumn, IRS/Taxes or April holidays (www.holidayinsights.com).

Our wonderful sponsor this month is Gina K Desings

I'm going with a loose... very loose tax influenced card for my first one of the challenge. I'm thankful that we have ours done already, so no tax stress in here! ;-) So I'd like to celebrate that with a drink and for those who are rushing to get them done in time...You could probably use one too! 




 Don't forget to stop by the Diva's blog to play along for your chance to win a $25 GC to Gina K Designs. 

Thanks for stopping by and have a great day!!!

Hello watercolor...

Hello all, I can't believe it's April already and my son's 15th Birthday!!! That makes me feel so old! ;-) Anywho...
This month over at a2z scrapbooking are challenge is watercolor. 


For my card I heat embossed some watercolor paper and added some gray for a wash of color. I then stamped and colored the butterfly using my water filled wink of stella and some distress markers. Once it was dry I ran it through my cuttlebug to die cut it. Stamped my sentiment on a piece of scrap and fishtailed the strip. Added my panel to a cardbase.
