Diamond Press New Releases featured on Craft Day at HSN

Hello friends! I've been terrible at blogging during this pandemic. I'll make no excuses for that. It's been a crazy year for sure. In CA we've been on lockdown and school has been out since March 17th. We have been doing our best to navigate through several strict stay at home orders from our Governor and school on line. It has been very challenging, to say the least, but we're surviving and have stayed healthy and Covid free throughout. 

I hope you are staying safe and are doing well also. 

Over the summer I was asked to join the Diamond Press team and create samples for their website and HSN airings. I have really enjoyed creating with Diamond Press's products. The designs are fun and easy to create with.

This past week HSN had a craft day and almost all the new releases from Diamond Press sold out fast. The new releases as so cute and fun to create with. 

Today I'm sharing a look at some of the cards I created for the show. The next craft day on HSN is 24 hours! It's coming up on March the 2nd and Diamond Press has some exciting things airing so be sure and mark your calendars!

These cards were created with Diamond Press's Dream Big Sentiment dies

Next up are some cute stamps from the Diamond Press Stamp Kit called Wild About You

So darn cute right?? Well, that's it for today.

Please follow me on the right side of my blog for new posts and inspiration. I promise I'll be back here very soon with some fun Diamond Press projects and so much more!

Have a creative day!

25 Days of Holiday cards 2020 edition Day 9

 Hello and welcome to Day 9 of my 25 Days of holiday cards! We finally decorated our Christmas tree. For the first time ever we got a flocked tree. It's definitely been an interesting experience. For one, the green strings of lights definitely stand out, and our Hallmark ornament collection kind of gets lost in all the white. It's still very pretty tho. I'm still tweaking some of the decors so I'll share a photo when I'm satisfied.

Today's card features Anna Griffins Christmas Botanical card toppers and embellishments.

I love using pink in my Christmas cards and that die pops out just the right amount of pink.

Thank you so much for stopping by today!

25 Days for Holiday Cards 2020 edition Day 8

 Hello and welcome to Day 8 of my 25 Days of Holiday Cards. I hope you are healthy and doing well. 2020 has certainly been an interesting year especially if you live in CA. The Covid restrictions have been pretty tough to endure to be quite honest. It definitely makes for some rough holiday shopping.

Today I am sharing another noncard project because I think our theme today should be to remain, Merry, this holiday season even though it's not our typical celebrations with family and friends.

I created this fun banner with Dies from Diamond Press and some fun wood tags.

Wishing you a very Merry holiday season!

Thanks for stopping by!

25 Days of Holiday cards 2020 edition Day 7

 Hello and welcome to Day 7 of my 25 Days of Holiday cards. It's hard to believe we are 7 days into December! Do you have your tree's up already?? Ours was delivered last night from the Boy Scout tree lot here in El Segundo. We order from them each year as we love to support our local troops.

Today's card is a perfectly decorated Christmas tree with dies and stamps from Diamond Press.

I love choosing non-traditional colors for Christmas cards. Teal, gold, and white are some of my favorite color combos.

Thank you for stopping by!

25 days of Holiday Cards 2020 edition Day 6

 Hello and welcome back to 25 Days of Holiday cards. 

Today's project is actually not a card but instead some fun shaker tags from Diamond Press.

I chose non-traditional holiday colors for these tags.

I find using micro beads in shaker cards or tags helps whatever you choose to fill them with move easier.

Thank you for joining me today!

 Today I wanted to share some fun creations from Diamond Presses the latest release and I have a fun giveaway!

The following cards were created using the Happy Mail Pull dies and stamps. 

This set is a fun interactive card that the top of the envelope flips up to reveal your message when you pull the tab.

What I love about it is several themes can be created with this set. Birthday, Hello, Love and more!

The stamps and dies are so whimsical and fun they are easy to create regular cards as well as this one. Sending paper hugs...

I really loved creating with this cute set. It's currently available for 29.95 on HSN.com

Comment #40  Deana said...

The first thing I would make is a paper hug card for my grandson that I haven't seen in 4 years. I miss him so and he is having a rough time for a 12 year old boy and could use a hug and letter.

More fun creations with the September HSN products from Diamond Press

 Hello friends! Tonight I'm posting some of my designs with Diamond Press's Autumn Window Foliage die set and the Rustic Wreath Shaker card set.

The Glitter paper really makes the pumpkin pop on this card.

These cards were fun and easy to create with. This die could be used for everyday occasion thank you cards.

These leaves would also be really pretty done with the inlay technique by using all the scraps.

You don't have to create shaker cards with this set. It makes great cards by cutting the wreath image and adhering to the base of the card with foam squares.

These shaker cards were fun and easy to create thanks to the contents included in the kit.

Unfortunately the Autumn Window Foliage dies set has sold out on HSN but the Wreath Shaker set is still available if you are interested.

Thanks for stopping by today!
