Two Paper Divas

Where did the month of March go?  I can't believe Sunday is Easter.  Since today is Friday I decided to share my favorite stamp set from Two Paper Divas for the March release which is called Spring Boots
I stamped the image on the floral paper and cut out the boots.  I also stamped it on the purple paper and cut out the bottom of the boots and the trim.  I also stamped it on watercolor paper and colored the tulips with my zig markers. I thought this made a gorgeous Mother's Day card.

Mystery Challenge

This card is for a Mystery Swap on SCS. A group of us are doing a bi-monthly swap where we all use the same mystery image, sent to us by the hostess. This swap was created by Forest Ranger—Jeanette and we are now in our third round!  I am the hostess this month and I decided to go with Two Paper Divas "I Chews" stamp set.  




The paper I used was from Lime twist by My Mind's Eye.  I just love the bright colors in this paper pack.  I also used my brother scan n cut to cut out the bubblegum machine after I had stamped it.  I am really enjoying that machine.

You can see what some of my friends in SCS did with this challenge.

Once I get all my cards back I will swap them out and we start all over with a challenge from Kelly.

Dueling Darlings

oday's card was from a challenge in SCS with our Dueling Darlings.

The theme this month came from Shelly and is "For the dogs".  The challenge was to create a card with these dog images.



Lastly, we were asked to share a favorite dog we had as a kid.  I had a dog called Boomer when I was a kid that was a german shepard mix.  He was a real guard dog but was fun for us kids.


You can see what my group came up with on this challenge.

Two Paper Divas Card Challenge


Today is the first card challenge that I am participating in for Two Paper Divas.  Today's challenge is this bingo card.  I chose to do the middle column with Patterned Paper, Stamps, and Sequins.

I started with a piece of 4 x 5 1/4" watercolor paper and then used my Candied Apple Distress ink and water to give it the watered down background.  The bubblegum machine is done with my Zig Clean Color Watercolor markers.  The stamp set for the sentiment and bubblegum machine is called "I Chews You".

Be sure and see what the other members of the design team have designed for this challenge.

Two Paper Divas

I hope you checked out the blog hop from yesterday.  I feel so lucky to be part of such a talented team.  I decided to share another card I made today from the March Release from Two Paper Divas.

Isn't this an adorable card.  I love the row of chicks.  They are called Flock Together Border.  I decided to add the momma chick at the top from "For Peeps Sake".  The sentiment is also from "For Peeps Sake".

I am happy that I have one Easter card done.  I had better get busy because Easter is right around the corner.

Be sure and check back on Monday because we are having a card challenge and I have another fun card to show.

Two Paper Divas Blog Hop



Today is a new adventure for Two Paper Divas.  They are going with a blog hop which I am so excited about because of the fantastic Design Team Members we have.  You probably arrived from Terri.  The theme today was to be spring so I decided to go with Easter since it is coming early this year.  I used one of their newer stamps called Have A Hoppy Day.
The paper I used was from Authentique called Springtime.  I stamped the bunny out and fussy cut him out.  I then added the trim and put glitter on his tale.  The jagged background of the bunny was a white piece of cardstock  I used with Distress Inks (Squeezed Lemonade and Tumbled Glass).  I put my ink on my craft mat and sprayed with water.  I then took my piece of cardstock and layered over the colors.  Made a beautiful marbled effect.

Next up for the blog hop is Carryn.  Check out to see her fantastic design.

Two Paper Divas will be giving away two prizes.  For a chance to win, leave a comment on Two Paper Divas and the design team members.  Good Luck!


Be sure to check out all the amazing projects by the Two Paper Divas Design Team members!
