Today we are showcasing the "Short and Sweet Tags" stamp set.

Here's my project I've created.... 


My card is a file from the Silhouette online store - id#67328.  It is a 5x5 sized card.  I used some decorative paper I have had in my stash for awhile now along with some silver, white, and gold shimmer paper from Recollections.  I added self adhesive white pearls to my flowers and some ribbon from my stash that matched my background paper (they were both oldies from the Target $1 bins).  I popped my sentiment up on some foam tape along with the gold layer of my card to give some dimension to the card.


I am loving the tag stamps with this set.  I used one of the SVG files for this stamp set and also created an offset of it for the gold paper in order to showcase my sentiment.

Here's today's free pattern:

XOXO - PPPR dt

Happy Monday!! Today is my turn to post on the Pretty Paper, Pretty Ribbons' BLOG.  Hope you had a great weekend and were able to have a bit of "crafty time".  Big thanks to those of you who hopped along with the PPPR design team this weekend!!  I have a Valentine's Day card to share with you today -



My card is sized to fit a No. 9 style envelope (business envelope).  I used a file from the "Cupid Cutting Files" set for the XOXO.  I embossed the hearts with my cuddlebug, added some enamel dots and did some pen stitching with my white gel pen.  My sentiment is from Craftin Desert Divas "Happy Celebrations" stamp set - I just used the scotch tape masking method to stamp it in a straight line.  My background paper is from Doodlebug.


Don't forget to link up your projects with our new challenge "Made With Love" - in fact, I am linking up this card!!  For more info on the challenge and to link up your project, please visit HERE.  
Thanks for stopping by today!!  

"Just Pigcause" - CDD dt

Today is my turn to post on the Craftin Desert Divas' blog and I have a cute card to share with you using the CDD "Just Pigcause" stamp set.



I used my Spectrum Noir markers to color in this cute little pig. 
Pig - FS4, FS7, FS9
Snout - FS2, FS3
Feet - TN2, TN3
Bow - HB2, HB3
Heart - CR11, DR5
Background - LG1, IB1
paper - Doodlebug 6x6 Fruit Stand

 This card is perfect for any occasion - I like having some more generic cards like this in my stash for those last minute card needs.  The "Just Pigcause" stamp set can be found in the Craftin Desert Divas shop.
