BLOG HOP & August Guest Designer

Welcome everybody, this is my first Blog Hop! Also a great 'Thank You' to Creative Cuts and More and Die Cut Diva for letting me be the August Guest Designer of the month!!! I was really excited to play with all the great products and Die cuts that Creative Cuts and More has to offer, not to mention great ideas on the website. If you just got here and would like to do the blog hop, hop on over to Die Cut Diva which is the start of today's ACETATE blog hop and if you start there, there is a 15% coupon code for anyone who visits Die Cut Diva's blog. Weren't Chrissy's designs awesome? But of course I also have some great ideas for you too...




This is a Snow Pyramid, I modeled it to be like a 'Snow Globe'. Great for and ornament or a cute gift. I decided on the Acetate Pyramid Die Cut. Held the pyramid together with CC&M Killer Red Tacky Tape. I stamped the outside with Staz-on ink and stamps from Close to my Heart and then pumped up the words with Stickles and added Pink Rhinestones. If you look really close you can see an acetate 3-D snowflake inside the pyramid. I think it looks darling and would love to decorate my whole Christmas tree with these ornaments.





This great layout is about my Daughter and her Aunt...on a Swing. I had ordered a bunch of Acetate Flower die cuts and A la Mode Paper by Basic Grey from Creative Cuts and More, the flowers came in three different sizes and that was perfect for this pretty layout. I then used Staz-on ink and Close to my Heart Stamps to fill in the flowers. With a rhinestone in the middle and Acetate letter I had on hand, this layout turned out perfectly.
I love this blog hop with great ideas on it and awesome quaility die cuts. Note there is a giveaway of a brand new Sealife 8x8 album kit on the Die Cut Diva blog and there are FOUR ways to win! Also on the Die Cut Diva site is a sneak peek of the new All Occasions Card Kit, which features great cards in Autumn Colors and sentiments for occasions like Thank You's, Birthdays, Thinking of You's... Thanks for coming to see my blog and if you like what you see and are inspired I love comments and followers!
