Shape Card Crazy with Die Cuttin' Divas

Good morning and welcome to Thanksgiving week.  Tuesday means a new challenge with Die Cuttin' Divas and this week we are having  fun with shape cards. For my card  I started thinking about what I am Thankful for and one thing is my friends. I made this card to send to one.
I started with this great digi-stamp from our sponsor for the next two weeks at Die Cuttin' Divas. This is from the BFF Roundies collection at Stitchy Bear Stamps.
These can be printed and colored or colored in many computer programs before printing, but black and white fitted my purposes just right. I did add the circle around it and cut that on my Silhouette to make sure it was a clean circle.

Once I had my idea all I needed was to cut the cute Kitty out and piece it all together. I had it all put together and did not have any pipe cleaners, but believe me she will stand tall and not flop over once I add that.

I hope you will join us this week in our Shape Card challenge. As always a prize is up for grabs every other week to a random winner. The next 2 weeks our sponsor is Stitchy Bear Stamps.

Supplies:
- BFF Rounndies from Stitchy Bear Stamps - Link HERE
- Hello Kitty Greetings Cricut Cartridge - Kitty holding Balloon Card
- Glossy Accents on bow

All About Winter Hop Day 2!!

Welcome to Day 2 of the All About Winter Facebook Hop with KaDoodle Bug Designs and Die Cuttin’ Divas? I am so glad that you are joining me again today. This hop is actually taking place on Facebook but I wanted to share my fun project on my blog as well.  To start at the beginning of the hop head over to the KaDoodle Bug Designs Facebook page.-https://www.facebook.com/kadoodlebugdesigns
Today, I have this cute card letting my daughter know her Elf on the Shelf, Conner, will be here soon. I just loved the cute Elf Boy files from KaDoodle Bug Designs and knew they would work great for this card. I decided not to use the strips on the legs that he comes with to make him look more like our elf.
I also had to add some fun sparkle to his belt and shoe buckles. Isn't he the sweetest?
For his sign I cut out a basic frame and printed out some lettering.  I traced over the letter to leave an imprint on the black paper and used a chalkboard writer to trace over the letters.  I really like the handwritten look and a tracing fonts mixes it up a little bit so it is not my handwriting all the time.

Thank you so much for visiting my blog today. Hope you will head over to Facebook and hop along with some great crafty friends of mine.
There are some fun prizes up for grabs as well. 
KaDoodle Bug Designs has a $20 Gift Certificate for one lucky crafter - Sweet!
Die Cuttin’ Divas has 2 rolls of Divine Twine from Graphic Whiskers

Give Thanks with Die Cuttin' Divas

Welcome to another Tuesday with Die Cuttin' Divas. Last week we enjoyed your wonderful turkey projects and this week we will continue the Thanksgiving celebration with a Thanksgiving challenge.

I wanted to continue the leaf pattern in my embossing and found just the right folder to do so. The simple pearls were added for a little something extra.

I hope your family is all well and that you are enjoying time together this Thanksgiving season. Please join us at Die Cuttin' Divas this week for our Thanksgiving Challenge.

Supplies:
- Designer's Calendar Cricut Cartridge - Give Thanks
- Celebrate with Flourish Cricut Cartridge - pilgrims hat

Let's Talk Turkey with Die Cuttin' Divas

Happy Tuesday everyone. Thanksgiving is coming up so soon so this week the Divas at Die Cuttin' Divas are talking turkey.
I love this cute teddy bear dressed as a turkey and had to put him on my card.  I found a round card, added a simple trim piece and got to work cutting out this cute bear. Once he was all done I decided to give his feathers a little stripe action.
And of course he needed to wobble because that is so what every turkey needs.
I hope you will join us in our turkey talk challenge this week at Die Cuttin' Divas.  Use a turkey on your project (and a die cut) and possibly win a fun prize.  We give one away to a random project every other week. Come play along.

Supplies:
- Teddy Bear Parade Cricut Cartridge - Turkey bear
- Gypsy Wandering Cricut Cartridge  - scallop circle layer
- CTMH Art Philosophy Cricut Cartridge - circle card 
- Cinnamon Stickles

- Action Wobble
- Pinstripe Embossing Folder
