Happy Planner March 27 - April 2

Hey there! Long time, no see! I have been taking a little break from posting. Life is a bit busy these days but I am hoping to get back to sharing as things slow down.

I finally did a spread in my Happy Planner and I am sharing it on the Craftin Desert Divas Blog!

Today I am featuring the new Norse Warriors stamps that were just released this month.


As you can see I did some coloring with Copic markers, I cut my images out, and added them to my weekly spread.


 I love how CDD has so many dies that work perfectly with the Happy Planner. I used several CDD products that I will list below.


Here is a little close up of my Viking warriors and I love this sentiment that comes in the stamp set!!


I hope this inspires you to get out your planner and decorate it using your stamps and dies!

Thanks for joining me today!

Spread Your Wings ~ Craftin Desert Divas Feb. Release

Hey there!

I am back today to share a final card from Craftin Desert Divas February Release

This card features the new stamps from Whimsical Wishes and the new Inside Scallop Circle Dies.


I adore the fairy from the Whimsical Wishes stamp set. I had to color her up with my Copics. 
I went a blues, greens, and yellows and inked up my background. 

The CDD Fancy Frame Dies are a perfect complement to the Inside Scalloped Circle Dies. There are flowers and leaves that come with this die set and I cut those from some inked up cardstock. I added the new Pink Droplet to the center of my flower.

For a finishing touch, I added a little Glossy Accents to the eyes and some Wink of Stella to the wings.

I hope you have enjoyed this release as much as I have!

Watercolor Valentine ~ Craftin Desert Divas

Hi there!  Today I have a card that made for Craftin Desert Divas February Social Media Challenge.

This month's mood board is all about Valentines, reds, and some wintery elements.


I chose the hearts as my inspiration.


For my card I started by stamping the heart from CDD Sending Love stamps. I added the I Heart U stamp to fill in some of the white space.  I colored in my hearts with Zig Real Clean Color Brush Pens. I was going for a bit of red color but it came out pink so I went with it.


I cut the background with the CDD Fancy Frame Dies and popped it up with some fun foam onto my black panel. My sentiment was heat embossed on a flag banner from from CDD Flag Banner Dies.

A few splatters of watercolor and the card was finished.

You have the whole month of February to participate in the challenge. Just head on over the the Craftin Divas Gallery on Facebook for all the details!

I Love You More Treat Bag

Hi Crafty Friends! Saundra here to share a Valentine Treat Bag using some wonderful Craftin Desert Divas products.


For this project I took a plain paper bag and added a lot of love! I used several CDD products to make it just right. Just take a look at your stamps and see which ones can make a great background. For this treat bag I used stamps from Sending Love.


This cute little skunk is from CDD Digi line. If you haven't checked out all the great digi designs you must! I colored him up with Copic markers and added a few details with a gel pen and Clear Wink of Stella. 

I used CDD dies to cut my patterned paper and added that to the treat bag to add interest.

This is such a sweet way to give a sweet treat! I hope I inspired you to create your own.

Thanks for joining me today!
