CC Designs Spring Things


Hello!  Today, I'm sharing a sweet little encouragement card using the new Spring Things Clear Stamp Set and Coordinating Dies from CC Designs.  This sweet little set has a ton of little images and sentiments perfect for spring! 

For my card, I decided to keep things simple.  I created a little spring rain scene inside of the new In and Out Rectangle Metal Die.  I love that this little set comes with some rain drops and little flowers...too cute.  I colored up my image with Copics and used the coordinating dies to cut her out.  Then I die cut some clouds in grey and layered them over a little sun peeking out from behind.  A sweet little sentiment at the bottom finishes the whole thing off. 


Thanks so much for stopping by!

La-La Land Crafts Take It Sloth Birthday

Hello!  I'm so excited to be sharing a fun Birthday Card using the new Take It Sloth Clear Stamp Set.  This adorable set features 4 sloths and a ton of sentiments.  

For my card, I used the NEW Harlequin Stencil to ink up the background using orange distress ink.  Then I stamped out some pink hearts using the Hearts Forever Background Stamp.  I trimmed that into a skinny rectangle and cut the end at an angle.  I adhered that on top of the harlequin pattern and layered on top a heart wreath and a scalloped heart cut out of white and purple card stock.  Then I colored up my sloth and accessories using my Copics and fussy cut them out.  I used foam tape to pop the on top and added a few enamel dots as well.  Then i stamped out my sentiment in black ink and trimmed the tails off of the Ribbon Corner Die to create steamers.  

I just love how fun this turned out.  Perfect for any celebration!

CC Designs Monkey Tag

Hello!  Today, I'm sharing a fun birthday gift tag using the NEW Monkeys Stamp and Die set by CC Designs.  This new set is so much fun to create with and I just love how it can be used for so many different occasions!  I'm also featuring the new paper pads and enamel dots that were released as well.  

To create my tag, I die cut some striped patterned paper with the Tags Galore Die set.  Then I cut another one with orange patterned paper and trimmed the top with a scallop die.  I layered that piece on top of my striped tag and glued the two together.  Then I cut the reinforcer out of green cardstock and adhered that into place.  I used a circle die to cut a blue circle from patterned paper as well and adhered that to my tag.  I stamped out my monkey, colored him up with Copics and die cut him out using the coordinating dies.  My stamped sentiment and some enamel dots finish it off.
