Hi All!

Squeee…we are on day 1 of Previews for the DECEMBER Release at C.C. Designs!!  This release will be available for purchase this Thursday at 12pm CST.

Today I am previewing this adorable little cutie from the Meow to You clear stamp set along with the ‘Happy’ die.

How precious is this little kitten?!?  I wanna hold it…lol!!

If Friends were flowers

I stamped this little fur ball on X-Press It Blending Card with Black Olive Ink and colored her with the following Copic Markers.

Pinks:  R00/000/RV21

Greens:  YG17/03/01
Flower:  BG13/11/10 then BG05/01/0000 to get the color I was after

If Friends were flowers2

I used the coordinating die to cut out this sweet image and adhered it to the card with double sided foam tape.  I added the ‘Happy’ die cut also from the new release so this sweet kitty had someplace to rest her sweet little paws on.

The following flowers from I Am Roses were added to bring in the flower theme.
ZR4-2 – Soft Pink Small Arabian Jasmine
R2-561/V – Mini White with Aqua Blue Variegated Edge Paper Flowers
S10-2 – Small White with Pale Pink Center Paper Flowers
R2-15 – Mini White Paper Flowers

Good mornin’!

Today starts a new release of gorgeousness at Whimsy Stamps.  These little cuties are from the rubber stamp called Ellie Jungle Bell Trio.  These little critters are SO adorable.

I don’t color with colored pencils very often, but I decided it was time I took them out to play a little bit…lol

The striped paper was adhered to the kraft card stock prior to cutting the image out with the Notched Squares Die Set.  Once the image was die cut, I attached the thin green ribbon with 1/8″ Scor-Tape.  The red bows were attached with hot glue.  The sentiment is from the Bunny Delivery Clear Stamp Set.

A little bling was added to finish the card off.

From Our House to Yours

2 Comments

Good morning!

How peaceful is this?  When I look at this Wintry Cabin Stamp from this month’s new release at Whimsy Stamps, the first thing that comes to mind is a place to relax and totally unwind.  Maybe a place to gather with crafty friends and play with all our goodies…lol!!

Pam-Schumacher_Wintry-Cabin_Rounded-Rectangles-Die_Kinetic-Straight-Basics-Die-Set

I stamped this gorgeous image on X-Press It Blending Card and then colored it with the following Copic markers.

~Copics~
Browns:  E49/47/44/43/42/41
Greens:  G85/94/YG03
Windows:  Y26/11
Reds:  R89/46/24
Sky:  B0000/Y0000/RV0000/CB

From-Our-House-to-Yours

Once the image was colored, I added Nuvo Glitter Drops (White Blizzard) to the trees and several areas of the snow.  I die cut a border strip using the Kinetic Straight Basics Die Set, taping the bottom of the die on the edge of the paper.  I used the tiny strip that would normally be waste and used it as my border to add some more visual image.  I then used double sided 1/4″ Scor-Tape directly above the border strip and attached the red ribbon.  I popped up the center panel with double sided tape.  The sentiment is from the Gingerbread Greetings Clear Stamp Set, and was also popped up with foam tape.  Two white self adhesive backed pearls finish off the card.
