For the hop today, I decided to feature this adorable little fox from the Puddle Pals set.  I absolutely love him and I think he might be one of my most favorites!  I chose some sweet little patterned papers that fit the theme and colored my image to match.  After layering it all together, I stamped my sentiment on a die cut cloud and popped it on the page using foam tape.  Then I tucked a tiny little sun in behind.  Some paper flowers finish the card off.

Kraftin Kimmie April Release Preview #1 Snow White

 

Welcome to the April Release of amazing new spring stamp sets at

Kraftin' Kimmie Stamps!!...

The first stamp set we are sharing with you might look a little familiar because you may have seen a little peek of this gorgeous new set by artist Annie Rodrigue! It just happens to be the Secret Krafty Klub set that we sent out to the members in February!
It's SNOW WHITE!
What a precious scene of this sweet princess with her woodland friends! It's a beautiful big image to colour up along with three sweet new sentiments! And think of the fabulous scenes you could make with clouds and grass and some background dies and stamps!!
 

 

 

For my card, I decided to go with the traditional snow white colors.  I chose some matching patterned paper and colored my image to coordinate.  Then I layered the papers in the background, added a paper doily from my stash, and placed my image on top.  Then I created a little scene using some die cut clouds and sun.  A little 3D bird sticker and some paper flowers finish it off.

CC Designs April Release Blog Hop

 

Today is RELEASE DAY for the new APRIL Stamps at C.C. Designs. As you have seen from our Preview Days, these new stamps revolve around birthday parties and celebrations!

Today, I am featuring the oh-so-cute Clove's Cake.  You guys know I'm always in search of "boy" images and I absolutely love this one!  I just don't think it gets any cuter than this!  For my card, I chose some bright birthday papers and colored my image to match using my Copic Markers.  Then I trimmed the image into a rectangle and mounted it on navy blue cardstock.  I layered several pieces of the patterned paper in the background and popped my image on top using foam tape.  To finish it off, I added some star garland, a couple of die cut stars, and some enamel dots.

CC Designs April Release Preview Day #3

 

Hello!  It's Preview Day #3 and I'm here to share an adorable new stamp from Roberto's Rascals!  This is Dancing!  Isn't she just the absolute cutest!!!  I love her little party hat and her dance moves are just too, too cute! 

 

For my card, I chose some colorful birthday papers, colored my image to match using Copic markers and trimmed her into a rectangle.  I layered several of the patterned papers in the background and cut the cupcake paper into a circle and layered on top of a die cut scalloped circle.  Then I placed my image on top, added some enamel dots and a punched flag with button.  The sentiment is from the To Market stamp set and works perfectly.
