Welcome to Day TWO of our November Krafty Peeks at Kraftin' Kimmie Stamps!
We've got another sweet and cuddly stamp set to share with you today! This one is from artist Becky Pearce and it's called...
BEARY BIG HUGS!

These chubby little bears are ready for the cooler weather with lots of cocoa and goodies! The set comes with several main images, lots of cute accessory stamps and four gorgeous sentiment stamps for a total of FIFTEEN stamps in the set!
 
 
 
For my project, I decided to make some fun winter tags.  I thought these would be perfect to attach to some bags full of goodies like fresh-baked cookies or even donuts!  For my tags, I chose some bright winter paper and colored my images to match with Copic markers.  Then I die cut them out using my Scan N Cut 2.  I layered my patterned paper on to the tags, stamped the sentiment on a die cut flag and popped my little bears on top using foam tape.  Some tiny clothespins allow the tags to be easily attached to the goody bags.

characters from artist Emilie Goulet! It's called ESKIMO PALS!!!

For my card, I decided to use the little fishing cutie!  I chose some patterned papers that reminded me of a night sky and colored my image to match using Copic markers.  Then I created a little snowy mountain scene with the navy polka-dot paper in the background to represent the night sky.  I die cut some mountains from the tan patterned paper and included a little snow bank across the bottom.  I tucked my image in behind and stamped my sentiment across the snow.  Some die cut snowflakes and a punch flag top it off.

CC Designs Snowman with Squirrels

Hello!  Today, I'm sharing an adorable Snowman card with you guys using one of the New stamps from CC Designs!  He's called Snowman with Squirrels and you can find him HERE in the CC Designs shop!
 
When I first saw this image, the idea of a part winter, part fall themed card popped into my head.  You don't often see squirrels on winter cards, but they are so cute and they coordinate perfectly!  So, for my card, I decided to use the new Doodlebug Flea Market paper.  I colored my image to match and paper pieced his little scarf with some of the plaid paper in the set.  Then I layered my paper in the background and added a gingham brown ribbon.  I stamped my sentiment (from the Holly Jolly Sentiments set) on a die cut tag (Layering Tags Die) and placed a little bow on top.  Some enamel dots and a punched flag top it all off. 
 
 
Here's a look at the side:

CC Designs November Release Blog Hop


Today is RELEASE DAY for the new NOVEMBER Stamps at C.C. Designs. As you have seen from our Preview Days, these new stamps revolve around those chilly, wintry days....except for those last minute mermaids that made their way into this release! And, don't forget about the 12 new DOVEART stamps that were released at the end of October. You have a lot of amazing choices this month for your stamping needs.


 
For my card, I decided to use the adorable NEW Penguin Rubber Stamp.  Aren't they just the cutest!!!  I chose some bright "wintery" papers and colored the image to match with my Copic Markers.  Then I added several layers of patterned paper to the card and attached some white pleated ribbon.  I die cut a snowflake from white cardstock and stamped my sentiment on to a scalloped circle, placing it in the middle of the snowflake.  Some die cut snowflakes and enamel dots top it off.
