This Weeks Sponsor



Dreaming Tree SVG's

There will be Three $20 Gift Certificates!

To qualify for the prize, be sure to use at least 1 Cricut cut on your project and if it's not obvious, let us know what cartridge you used. If you use a Cricut Explore machine, at least one cut must be from the Cricut catalog of images.

Here is my project-



Here is a list of materials I made for this tray-
  1. This tray is from Sierra Pacific Wood products, and has a glass piece over the tray insert. You may be able to find similar trays in a local craft store or the internet.
  2. Cricut Cartridges: Simply Charmed (Leprechauns), Home for the Holidays Spring/Summer (sentiment, clovers).
  3. Paper: Little Yellow Bicycle (green patterned); Unknown dark green glitter cardstock; Colorbok light green glitter cardstock; black, orange, yellow, pink, flesh cardstock scraps; Neenah (white cardstock).
I love making inserts to suit the month or seasons-it adds a bit of personality to my home! This sits on a side table and catches the remotes so we can always find them.

Thanks for vistiting!






Hero Arts Flowers and ECD dies

Welcome! Today is the last day to get your entries in at Die Cut Diva's Love/Marriage/Anniversaries! We want to thank our great sponsor-


I think that my friendship card fits into the theme, because I really do love my friends. Here is my card-

 The main dies for this card are Elizabeth Crafts Designs Oval Accordion Card and Elizabeth Crafts Oval Edge, cut out of Strathmore Cold Pressed Watercolor paper colored with Ken Oliver's Colorburst Yello and Blue powders. This stuff is so cool! Beautiful, vibrant colors.

The stamps I used are Hero Art Friends stamp set, Hero Arts Hello Sunshine Daisies stamps and dies. The ink is Teal Imprintz, which is so old I'm suprised it hasn't dried up! The back of the card I did the same as the front with different sentiment stamps-


The panel on the left is blank so I can write a note to whoever I send this to!

The picture below shows how the panels looked before & after die cutting. Watercolor powders are so fun to play with!


Thanks for visiting!

Right now I'm absolutely in love with Brusho's. A friend of mine, Lagene, was playing with Brusho's during a crafting day and let me use a piece of a panel that I just loved! I took my color cue from the blues on the panel, and it made a great background for the trellis and flowers.

  2. Ink: Versafine Black Onyx.
  3. Vellum: unknown source.

This was made with the Love Struck 2010 cartridge-it has some awesome hearts on it. For the heart I used DCWV Shimmer red and pink paper, with Queen & Co. rhinestones on the flowers. The card is Recollection Parisian cardstock, embossed with an Anna Griffin Acanthus embossing folder. The pink shimmer paper band was embossed with the matching strip folder from the same embossing set. The stamp is from Heidi Grace (Colorbok) Wedding set, using Versamark ink with white embossing powder.
