Hey y'all! It's Lisa B. back again to share another project with you that I made with my One of my favorite things to do lately is to get lost coloring. That is where really come in handy. I literally made my very own Adult coloring book with a bunch of the images. I selected several and printed them out so they would be ready for me when I wanted to kick my feet up and color.

My favorite thing about digis is the fact that you can size them to whatever size you need for your project.

I designed this card to fit the adorable I used the stitched oval die from the newly released for the sentiment. When I saw the sentiment from the I knew it was just perfect for my card!! For the scalloped layer with the rainboot design I used my . The Doodlebug Matte Sprinkles in the corner came from the new , I just love these!!!

Have a great day and Happy Crafting!

Good morning CDD fans! Lisa B. here with you today to share some baby shower favors I made with some of my CDD stamps.

Miss You

Hello everyone!

Kristin here to share a card for Throwback Thursday. Any project you see on the blog on Thursdays will feature one of Tara's older stamp sets. Here is what I created today:

I used the largest panda from the very sweet stamp set and colored it with Copic Markers. I used the sentiment, Miss you, which is one of many sentiments that fit on the paper the panda is holding and stamped it with Memento Tuxedo Black ink.

Using the ScanNCut 2, I cut out a heart shape and smushed the Versamark ink pad directly on the paper. I sprinkled Liquid Platinum embossing powder over the Versamark and melted it with my heat tool.

For the background, I blended Cracked Pistachio, Peacock Feathers and Wilted Violet into some Neenah Solar White. Over the top of that I adhered a piece of foiled vellum. After I adhered the Panda to the card, I was done.

I hope you like the card and thank you for stopping by!

Sending Tons of Hugs & Kisses

Hello crafters!
This is Lori with got2bcrafting.

Today I am sharing a card I created using the super cute and very versatile mini stamp set "".

I absolutely love that the sentiment "Sending tons of" can be used with so many other sentiments to work perfectly with just about any project.

For my card, I used the "hugs & kisses" stamp from the "" stamp set. (I did have to do a little masking on this part of the sentiment to make it a single line)

The "XOXO"s being sprayed from the elephants trunk is a sentiment from the "" stamp set.

The scalloped and inner rectangular mats are cut from the and the stitched label that the image is stamped on is from the NEWLY RELEASED "".

Here are the CDD products I used:

Thanks for stopping by today!

Be sure to come back tomorrow to see what DT member Kristen has to share.
I am sure she will have something amazing for you!!

Have a Happy, Crafty Day!!
