CC Designs Magical Dragons

Hello!  Today, I'm sharing a sweet card using the NEW Dragons Stamp set and matching dies from CC Designs!  For my card, I decided to create a little scene using the Castle Die.  I chose some cloud patterned paper, cut it out using the Stitched Rectangle Dies and then mounted it with white cardstock cut with the Pinky Rectangles Die.  Then I cut out and layered up my castle and glued it onto the scene.  Next, I stamped out my dragons, colored them up with Copics, and cut them out using the coordinating dies.  To finish it off, I stamped out my sentiment and heat embossed it with white embossing powder.  There you have it, one magical dragon card!

Here's a look at the inside:

Thanks so much for stopping by!  Have a great day!

Kraftin' Kimmie DT Inspiration- Book Dragon

Hello! Today, I'm on the Kraftin' Kimmie Blog featuring Book Dragon.  I chose Book Dragon for my inspirational card because I thought he was perfect for the back-to-school season and he's adorable!!!  I mean come on... a dragon that reads! Too cute!  For my card, I colored my dragon up in yellows and cut him out on my Scan N Cut 2.  Then I die cut several pieces of school-themed paper and layered it all together.  I popped my dragon on top using some foam tape and finished it off with a few enamel dots!  I just love how fun and bright this card is, perfect for any kiddo going back to school!

Today, I've decided to feature the super sweet Dragon set by Roberto's Rascals!  I just love how adorable these dragons are and the sentiments are so cute!!

For my card, I decided to create a starry night scene.  First, I chose some fun patterned paper and colored my images to match using Copic Markers.  Then I cut them out using the coordinating dies.  I layered several pieces of the paper together and popped my starry scene on top using foam tape.  Then I added my dragons and stamped out my sentiment at the bottom.  Some enamel dots finish it all off.

CC Designs August Release Peek Day #4

Hello!  I'm so excited to share with you the CC Designs August Release Peeks for Day #4!!  So many adorable sets have already been shown, but today we have yet another one to share!  This adorable set is called NERDY and it features a pencil and crayon with several accessories and sentiments!  What I love about this set is that you can change the faces to create whatever look you're going for! 

For my card, I decided to use the pencil to create a teacher appreciation card.  First, I stamped out my image and colored it up using copic markers.  Then I cut it out using the coordinating die set.  I found some fun school themed paper and used that as my background layer.  I stamped my sentiment on one of the coordinating papers that resembled notebook paper and trimmed it down into a rectangle.  Then I matted that with a scalloped frame and popped it on my card using some foam tape.  I also tucked a die cut star in behind it to give it a pop of color.  I added my little pencil to the corner along with some other die cut stars, and finished it all off with some enamel dots. 

 

here's a look at the inside:

 Thanks so much for stopping by!  All sets will be available in the CC Designs shop tomorrow!  Also, be sure to hop over the CC Designs blog for information on how you can enter for a chance to win some of these sets!
