Flower Tutorial

This tutorial is one Amanda did on her blog not to long ago..
Have fun!!

You will need

• 1 strip of paper 12 inches long and 1/2 inch thick.
• 1 circle cut from paper about 1.5 inches in diameter
• Quick dry glue (I used Aleene’s Tacky Glue, it works fine)

1.Wrinkle up the 12 inch strip of paper.

2. Apply glue to circle (you want to leave a little tiny part of the edges of the circle glue free)

3. Start in the center- place the strip down and twist the paper strip as you wrap it in a circle (If you want a bigger flower you can add another strip and continue from where the last strip left off..

and Voila.. you have your “Rose”..

New Project from Diva Lauren

Mandi challenged those of us on the design team for Darling Divas to create a mini album using a cereal box and the tutorial she posted on her blog. I didn't have an empty cereal box handy, but I did have a cheez-it box! :) Here is what I did!!

I traced a plastic cd that I had laying around, and then cut out the circles to use as my bases for the pages.

After cutting out the cardboard circles, I did the same thing with my patterned paper, then glued the paper circles onto my cardboard pieces.

Next, I used my Crop-A-Dile Big Bite and punched holes in the "corners" of my pages. And I was finally ready to add my photos and embellishments! It was so much fun to make! I will put a list of the supplies I used at the end of this post.

Thanks for looking!! :-)

Darling Divas 1st Monthly Kit..

Hi everybody.

We had an issue with our 1st supply order for our kits. It should have been in last week, but alas, what we had ordered was sold out so we ended up having to decided on a different kit. The supplies we ordered will be in some time this week, & in the mean time some shopping was done to add some goodies to the kits!!

I know some of you would like some hints as to what paper line it is... so.

Our 1st Challenge....

Hi everyone! Thought it would be a good idea, since we are waiting to announce the kits now, to have a little challenge.. just for inspiration.. something to get us motivated to actually use our supplies!! LOL



So.. the challenge is : Using a Cereal box- create a mini album!
Very simple.. Amanda actually made one and has a tutorial up on her blog here Amanda's Cereal Box Mini Album tutorial It is so simple and very easy to follow! When you are done making yours post them and share the link in the comment section on this post! Can't wait to see what you come up with!

Welcome!!!

We are pleased to announce the grand opening of The Darling Divas kit club! We wanted to make kits affordable for those who don't have alot of money to spend every month. This kit club is NO COMMITMENT. If you want a kit one month and want to skip over the next 3 months, you can do that. No paying memberships upfront.. the only thing you pay for is the kit that month if you want to buy it. Kits will be just 15.00 shipped, or 18.00 Shipped if you would like Priority mail. Please remember, for the time being, we are limited to amount of kits we have, so it is on a first come first serve basis. Our kits will have one item added to it every month.

So say this month if our kit was Basic Grey Olivia.. You would get 6 papers- alphas- diecuts, cardstock stickers (full sheet), brads, and then the extra would be say A bottle of stickles.. (that is not the kit for this month LOL That will be announced at a later date!.

Now.. this is what I personally have been waiting for. We have put together a team of 4 talented designers and we are pleased to introduce them to you today!

Introducing our first ever design team- The Darling Diva's!

Lauren - Designer & Coordinator




Melissa- Designer




Reets - Card Sketch Designer

Design Team's 1st Project

Here is our Design Team's 1st Project.

Here is what they came up with.

Supply List:

Bazzill cardstock- as the card Base






Reets is our Card Sketch Designer. Her assignment was to come up with a sketch for a card, here is what she came up with!



and two cards she created using the sketch.

My first card sketch.. It’s a pretty basic card sketch. The two colors and the center picture add dimension. Using the two colors allows you to pull the card together using colors from the main picture or theme, as you can see from the digital card.





Traditional Paper
The traditional card I made is a variation, moving the back colors so they don’t split the card in half, and rounding the corners. Then taking the main picture, moving it up and adding a sentiment on the bottom
