CC Designs December Release Day!

 It's Release Day at CC Designs!!! You can find all the new goodies in the shop NOW!  Be sure to stop by and check out all the new stuff!  

For my project today, I decided to create a little Hot-Cocoa Envelope.  First, I started with some patterned paper, folded it in half and trimmed one side just a bit.  Then I stitched on some polka dot fabric across the front and stitched both sides of the pocket together.  I stamped out this cute little penguin, colored him up, and fussy cut him out.  Then I layered him on top of a die cut circle and added that to a blue Deco Square.  I also added a little die cut tree and some enamel dots to my scene.  After attaching it to my pocket, I stamped out my sentiment from the NEW Snow Peeps set and added that just behind the top circle.  To finish it off, I added my cocoa packet and a candy cane spoon!  So fun!

Big News!

 Hello!  I'm so excited to share that I am joining The Greeting Farm Design Team!  I cannot even begin to express how giddy I am about this!  The Greeting Farm was one of the very first companies that drew me into stamping.  It has always been a goal of mine to join their team.  It's an absolute honor and I can't wait to get started.  Be sure to check out their blog post HERE to see all the other designers that will be joining the new team in 2021!  So much talent over there, I'm still pinching myself to make sure I'm not dreaming!  

I won't be starting until January, but I thought I'd share a sweet little card I made using the Warm Wishes Clear Stamp Set.  


To create my card, I used a Snow Background die from my stash and added a snow bank and a couple of die cut trees.  Then I colored up my images and fussy cut them out.  Using foam tape, I popped them onto my card panel and added my layered die-cut sentiment.  Then I stamped the smaller sentiment and tucked it just under the "joy."  


here's a closer look:

 Hello!  Happy Monday!  Today, I'm sharing a fun winter card featuring the new stamps and dies from La-La Land Crafts!  You can find all the NEW Goodies HERE.  Be sure to hop over there and check it out!

For my card, I started with a sheet of the new patterned paper and trimmed it to fit the front of my card base.  Then I die cut the mountains, ski lift, and trees from card stock and layered them together in my background.  I used some white glitter card stock for my snowy ground and added some die cut pond elements to look like drifts of snow.  Then I colored up Luka, fussy cut him out and popped him on top of my scene using some foam tape.  I also die cut the skis from blue card stock and added those to the scene with foam tape as well.  A fun little sentiment finishes it off!

Picket Fence Studios Slim Line Cards!

 Hello, hello! Today, I'm sharing two fun and easy cards using the new Slim Line Die Cutting System as well as some of the new products from the November Release!  All products used are linked below.  Be sure to check out the Picket Fence Shop to see all the new goodies!  

For my first, card, I started with some teal card stock and die cut it using the largest rectangle from the Slim Line Die Cutting System.  Then I use the smaller rectangle from a lighter blue card stock.  I used the stitched circle die in the set to create random circles on my lighter blue panel.  Then I adhered it to the teal piece.  

I used some of the new snowflake dies to cut snowflakes in various sizes from white card stock, holographic card stock, and glassine paper.  Then I layered them on top of my card and adhered with Glossy Accents.  I added some scattered sequins throughout the card and finished it off with a sentiment heat embossed in white on black card stock.  Such a quick and easy card that really packs a punch!  


For my next card, I used the new Slim Line Die cutting System and paired it with the new Pet all the Dogs Stamp Set and Coordinating Dies.  To begin, I chose a bright blue piece of card stock and die cut it using the largest rectangle in the set.  Then, I die cut a piece of white card stock using the smaller rectangle die.  I used the picket fence die to cut three openings in my white panel.  Then I used the grass die to cut  three grass pieces from green card stock.  I layered each one behind the picket fence openings and adhered them together.  Then I colored up my dogs, cut them out using the coordinating dies, and tucked one of them in between my grass and fence.  Then I adhered it all together and popped my dogs on top using foam tape.  I stamped my sentiment across the top and added some die cut clouds from the A Spooky Day Stamp and Coordinating Die set.  

Again, another quick and easy card that's sure to brighten anyone's day!
