CC Designs April 2021 Release Sneak Peek: Birthday Swissie

Hello!  Today, I'm sharing a sneak peek of the NEW CC Designs Release!  All the new goodies will be available in The Shop on Friday, April 2nd!  

This little cutie is part of the NEW Birthday Swissie Clear Stamp Set.  This set includes two adorable Swissie images and several coordinating sentiments.  For my card, I layered up some patterned paper, colored up my image, fussy cut her out and popped her on top using foam tape.  Then I added some stickles glitter to the cupcakes and a mini pom pom on top of her hat.  A few glitter stars finish it off.

Thanks so much for stopping by!  I'll have another preview for you tomorrow so check back!  

 

Picket Fence Studios: Two Eye-Catching Cards

 Hello!  Larisa here and today, I'm sharing bold and bright cards that are sure to grab your attention.  Both feature products from the new release and both have vivid pops of color that catch your attention!  

My first card features the NEW Mail's Here Stamp.  To begin, I stamped out the Raining Envelopes Stamp a couple of times.  This Building Backgrounds stamp is perfect because it lines up perfectly.  You can stamp it and infinite number of times to create any sized background!  I colored my background using a light teal Copic Marker (BG10).  Then I added a strip of red polka dot paper to the bottom and trimmed it to fit my card base.  I also layered the panel on some light grey card stock and trimmed to fit.  For the hello sentiment, I die cut it in bright blue card stock and blue foam.  I adhered the two layers together and added them to the card panel just above the polka dot paper.  I love the dimension this technique adds!  Then, I stamped out the Mail's Here image, colored it up to match, and cut it with the coordinating die.  After adhering that to the panel, I also added "my dear friend" sentiment just below it from the More Fancy Sentiments Stamp set.  

For my next card, I decided to create a shaker card using the NEW Purple-Rita Sequin Mix.  I started with a piece of purple card stock and added some tulle to the top of it.  I stitched down the sides with my sewing machine and filled it with my sequins.  Then I used the Netting Cover Plate to cut a piece of white card stock and I adhered that to my card panel only in the center of the card where I knew the glue would be covered.  I stamped out the Lilies For Spring and Kylee Girl images, colored them up, and cut them out using the coordinating dies.  I layered them on top of my card panel using foam tape and a bit of hot glue to make sure they were stuck down well.  My sentiment from the Job Well Done Set finishes it off!

Cheeky Tat is Ready for Summer!

Hello~ Today I'm sharing a fun summer card featuring Cheeky Tat!  I know it's not even Easter yet, but I'm ready for some warmer weather and some lazy summer days!  

To create my card, I started with some patterned papers and layered them up in the background.  Then, I stamped out my image, colored her up with Copics, and fussy cut her out.  I popped her in the center of my card using some foam tape and added a chipboard title just above her.  I also added a few yellow enamel dots for some texture.  A cute little watermelon embellishment finishes !it off.  One super fun summer card!

CC Designs Easter Egg Hunt Slimline

Hello! Today, I'm sharing a sweet little Easter Egg Hunt Slimline Card!  Easter is just a little over a week away and I'm still wondering where the time has gone!  

For my card, I started with the Valentine Slimline Metal die and cut it out in pink card stock.  Then I paired it with the Slimline Metal Die and added some layers of blue, yellow, and white.  After adhering them all together, I added a strip of die cut grass.  I stamped out my images, colored them up, and cut them out using the coordinating die.  Then I added them to my scene using foam tape and stamped my sentiment.  A few enamel dots finish it off.

 For my card, I used the beautiful Cheeky Grow.  I just love this image!  So much fun to color!  I started with some patterned paper, layered it up with die cuts from the same collection and added my colored image on top using some foam tape.  Then I stamped out my sentiment and die cut it using a circle die from my stash.  A couple of pink enamel dots finish it off!

Picket Fence Studios March 2021 Release!

 Hello!  It's Release Day at Picket Fence Studios!  There are so many new beautiful goodies this month!  I can't wait for you to see them!  

My first card features Mermaids of the Sea Clear Stamp Set and Coordinating Dies.  To begin, I used the New Lime Zinnia Paper Glaze with the New Slim Line Mermaid Scales Stencil.  After drying, I die cut it using the Slim Line Die Cutting System Nested Rectangles.  I also die cut a larger turquois card stock and adhered the two together.  Then, I stamped out my image in black ink and cut it out.  I used the circle die from the Slim Line Die Cutting System to cut a teal piece of card stock.  Using foam tape, I adhered my image to the center of the circle and layered that on top of some white card stock cut using the NEW Netting Cover Plate.  I just trimmed a bit of it off to fit the card.  Then  I die cut the happy sentiment from the Slim Line Die Cutting System Nested Rectangles and added it just under my image.  My stamped sentiment and a sprinkle of  Aqua Seas Sequin Mix finish it off.  

For my next card, I created a pretty ocean scene.  To start, I used my Life Changing Blending Brushes to add some distress ink to the center of my card.  Then I die cut it using the Slim Line Die Cutting System Nested Rectangles and layered some dark blue card stock behind.  Then I stamped out the Birds In Flight across the top part of the card.  For the whale, I stamped the bottom part with clear embossing ink and heat embossed in white.  Then I stamped the whale separately, fussy cut it out, and popped it on top with some foam tape.  I added the Slim Line Oversized Hello Word Die to the bottom of the card and finished it with my sentiment across the top.  

For my last card, I used some Artemisia Silver Paper Glaze with the NEW Slim Line Fish For Infinity Sencil.  I used blue card stock and layered it on top of silver glitter paper.  Then I stamped out my image from the NEW Mer-people of the Sea and cut it out using the Coordinating Die.  I adhered it the right of the card panel and added my sentiment across the image.  Then I sprinkled some of the NEW Ocean of Greens Gem Mix.

Hello!  I'm back today with another fun sneak peek from The Greeting Farm.  This little cutie is called Cheeky Grow.  She'll be released on March 15th along with all the other new stamps!  

For my card, I combined her with the Porch 2 Digital Set.  First, I arranged my images on the computer, then printed them out using a laser printer.  I colored up my scene using Copic Markers and trimmed it to fit the front of my card.  Then I stamped out my Cheeky Grow image, colored her up, and fussy cut her out.  I used foam tape to pop her on my scene and stamped out my sentiment.  I also added the little potted plant to the left.
