Wow..what a hop huh?!  I’ve got some fun cards to show you today!  It’s the Diva’s turn today along with Lots of Dots and Petite Borders!  Let’s get this show on the road!

OLYMPUS DIGITAL CAMERAHere is Serenity Diva…even when she’s trying to be calm she’s a bit bossy isn’t she?  I cut her & the sentiment out with the silhouette cut file and made her levitate above Lots of Dots in ocean breeze.  These dots are so easy to line up..it amazes me actually…how easy it is!  I added some ocean breeze cuttlebugged paper to the left with matching ribbon and button and put it all on some GKD kraft cardstock.OLYMPUS DIGITAL CAMERA

Next is Day at the Park Diva!  She and the sentiment are cut out with the silhouette cut file too and popped up on dimensionals.  I used one of the images from the lots of dots set and heat embossed them on kraft cs.  Put that on top of sweet mango paper (my new favorite color btw..i wanna drink it!) and versamarked more lots of dots for the background.   Look at how the Honey Mustard ribbon matches that paper!  LOVE!

Here is Mommy to be Diva..with Lots of Dots!  Simple, Easy, Clean!  If I wasn’t coloring her in, this card would’ve been made in under 5 minutes.  But since I did color her in the card took about 10!  So easy to mass produce for a baby shower invite if you changed the sentiment to You’re Invited!  ;)

 And here is something different using the Mommy to Be Diva set!  I wanted to showcase the stork and baby diva here.  I had some cute cloud themed dp that I put on GKD Kraft and then cut out some clouds and the stork and baby diva image using the silhouette studio file, stamped the images, colored them in, popped them up on dimensionals, stamped the sentiment and voila.  A truly quick and easy card for that mommy to be or new mommy!

I had planned on making a card using a Diva, Lots of Dots and Petite Borders for this post but ran out of time!  All 3 sets work so well together!  In the meantime, here is a card I made using the Birthday Hoot Stamp set duo (Free with every order through March 15!), Lots of Dots and Petite Borders!
And since this is a birthday card…let me do a quick shout out to my BEAUTIFUL little girl who turns NINE today!

For this card I used the silhouette cut file for the owl and colored him in with copics.  I stamped Lots of Dots and one of the Petite Borders in powder blue.  I love how using these 2 sets together gives the effect of layered dp…when really i only used white cardstock on kraft!

Shwoo..that was a lot for me in one post!  Hope you liked it…THANK YOU for your diva love!  I love reading all of your comments!  Be sure to check out the amazingly talented DT to see what they have created today!

  72. Jean McGee says:

    I have to smile at the sentiment on your first diva card -ooooo how true…Hurry, hurry, its gotta be here some place.
    And that pregnant diva is fun, fun. I do like the sentiment you have with that set about glowing. I think all or at least most pregnant ladies have a glow about them that makes them beautiful. And that is coming from a mother of five adult children.
