Wanderlust

I have a card for Bunny Zoe's Crafts to share with you today.  This cutie is a stamp by A Random Fan called Wanderlust.  Isn't it adorable!!!
I really love this one :)

I made this card for a fabulous lady who owns a motorbike inspired coffee shop near my home called Moto Vecchia.  She is always so kind to me and my girls so I thought I'd make her a little thank you card.  Hope she likes it :)

The sentiment is from a wonderful CC Designs set called Great Birthday Greetings.
The beautiful paper is from a pad by Echo Park called Head Over Heels.
And I used a pretty pink button.  The challenge at the Bunny Zoe's Crafts blog this month is buttons, I love using them on cards.  Why don't you try one on a card and enter our challenge too?

CC Designs Favourite

WooHoo!  I'm on the team at CC Designs for another term!

I was so excited to be asked to stay on.  It's a wonderful team and a fabulous company with SO many gorgeous stamps to use :)

Lucky me!!!

I have been a fan of CC Designs for a long time now.  

I think the first stamp I bought when I got my copics was this cutie.  I just loved it and knew my girls would too.  I remember trying and trying to get her hair right and being so pleased with how it turned out. That was about 2 and a half years ago now and (luckily) I can see that I have improved but I still love this card.

The new CC Design Team has been given the chance to pick their favourite stamp and give one away to someone who comments on their blog.

It was very hard to choose a favourite, there are just so many adorable ones!

But I think I'll have to go with this Roberto's image called Kisses.

It's great to be able to give a prize to one of my readers, so if you love this stamp as much as I do, please leave me a comment.  I will pick a winner on Monday.

I decided to use this cute stamp called Monster Sweets.  He's adorable isn't he!

Candy Cane Penguin

It's time for another challenge at Bunny Zoe's Crafts and the theme this month is SNOW.

I decided to use a very cute stamp by High Hopes called Candy Cane Penguin.

The sentiment is by High Hopes too and is called Winter Hi!

I coloured it with my copics (of course).  And after I coloured the BG sky I used the blender pen to make various sized dots for snow.  It's the first time I've tried that and I was happy with how it turned out.

I added a beautiful snowflake charm to the card and called this quick and simple snowy card done :)

Ingredients :
Stamps : Candy Cane Penguin, Winter Hi!
Card : x-press it, soft sky, Frosted Lace (wild rose studio)
Ink : memento black, antique linen distress ink
Other : double scallop doily die, snowflake charm, copics

Layla Kisses

We're reviewing the new Roberto's stamps on the CC Designs Blog today.

And I love this image called Kisses so much that I decided to use it again :)

It just looks so much like my Granddaughter Layla and my cat Indie that I thought I might colour it again and put it in a shadowbox frame for her.  I think it will make a lovely Christmas decoration for her room.  She could bring it out each year and perhaps add things to it too by placing little ornaments she makes, photos or wish lists inside.

I decided to use the CC Designs Mini Alpha and Numbers Die to add her name to the image and it looks pretty cute, I'm lucky she has such a symmetrical name :)
The bells and Christmas tree are just store bought decorations but I wanted to put something else handmade by me inside.  So I also diecut some stars from felt and used some metallic gold embroidery thread to sew a little padded star.  I'm not the best needlewoman but it looks pretty and hopefully she'll know it was made by her Grandma with lots of love :)

It's wonderful to be able to use stamps to make beautiful handmade gifts as well as cards isn't it? :)

Ingredients :
Stamps : Kisses
Card : x-press it, brushed gold
Ink ; memento black
Other : Mini alpha and numbers die, star die, copics

Holiday Penguins

And I decided to make a cute Christmas card with one of the little penguins from the new Holiday Penguins set.

Card : x-press it, baja, limeaide, red, indigo, Mistletoe Magic (MME)

Mouse With Poinsettia

It's time for another challenge at Bunny Zoe's Crafts and this month the theme is Animals.  I got to choose the theme this time and I decided on it because I love cute animal stamps, especially for Christmas cards!  An animal doesn't have to be the main feature of the card, but one does have to be on there somewhere :)

I decided to use this super cute stamp from Wild Rose Studio called Mouse With Poinsettia.

The pretty paper is from a Wild Rose Studio pack called Frosted Lace.  There are none of your typical red and green papers in this pack, but instead, pretty pinks and blues.  So I decided to colour a pink poinsettia to match.  The ornament dies are from Wild Rose Studio too!  I just cut these two off the Row of Baubles die, glued some vellum on the back and coloured the vellum from behind.  It is a gorgeous die and very versatile as you can use them individually like I did, or as they come in a row.

I also used a new sentiment stamp from CC Designs.  It's from a fun set called Snarky Christmas and it's available to pre-order now.  I also used a pink button and some white web ribbon.

Ingredients :
Stamps : Mouse With Poinsettia, Snarky Christmas
Card ; x-press it, baja, Frosted Lace
Ink : memento black
Other : Row of Baubles die,  pink button, white web ribbon, copics

Copics Used :

Kisses

It's Day 2 of the sneak peek at the new releases at CC Designs.
Today the Design Team are showcasing images by Roberto's.
When I first saw this stamp I actually did a little squeal of delight!  Actually it was probably quite a big squeal! :)
It's called Kisses and this little girl is just so much like my Granddaughter Layla.  And it is exactly how our cat Indie looks when he's trying to cope with her cuddles and kisses too!
I just love this image SO MUCH!

I also used the CC Designs Heart Border die and the Sentiment is from the Happy Harvest set that was released last month.

Ingredients :
Stamps : Kisses, Happy Harvest
Card : x-press it, black, brushed gold, Joyous (Authentique)
Ink : memento black, antique linen distress ink

Little Elf

Hi :)  It's new release time again at CC Designs and this month it's all about Christmas.
Isn't this stamp a cutie!   I LOVE her big eyes :) Her name is Little Elf.

The sentiment is from a new CC Designs sentiment set called Snarky Christmas.  It has a lot of "different/funny" sentiments and a few more normal ones too :)

The cute paper is from an Authentique pad called Joyous.  I got it last year and there is just a tiny bit left, I love this Naughty or Nice scale paper in it and thought I'd use my last scrap of it with the "naughty" sentiment.  I also used the CC Designs Notebook Edges Die.

Reindeer Flying

I have a card for Bunny Zoe's Crafts to share today and it's my first Christmas card of the year!
And as it's almost October now, that seems a little late to me.  I had better get creating or my Christmas card list will have to be drastically shortened :)

This one is using the adorable Wild Rose Studio stamp called Reindeer Flying.

He actually comes with one star but I wanted a couple more so I just stamped it again a couple of times, coloured them, cut them out and stuck them on where I wanted.
The paper is from a pad by Basic Grey called Persimmon and I also used a Prima Sun Kiss button.

Musical Autumn's Mum

I decided to use CC Design's Autumn's Mum again, 'cause she's just so sweet and fun to colour too.
I thought this might be a nice Thank You card for one of my daughter's music teachers.

 I used another new set by CC Designs called Pebbles too, I just masked the image and then stamped it so she would have something to stand on :)  I also used a new die from CC Designs called the Notebook Edges Die and the sentiment is from the All About Teachers set and is perfect I think.

A friend of mine is having an engagement party this weekend and of course I wanted to make a card for her. But when I looked through my stamps (and I have quite a few!) there didn't seem to be anything quite right.

I also used a fabulous new sentiment set from CC Designs called More Scripted Sentiments.
The heart is cut from the CC Designs Heart Border Die.

Ponytail

I have a card for Bunny Zoe's Crafts to share with you today.  I've used this very sweet Time for Tea image for Whimsy Stamps called Ponytail.

The current challenge at Curtain Call really inspired me.  I love using pinks and aqua type blues together but I would have never thought to add some yellow into the mix.  I love how it turned out though, it's so bright and happy, just as a birthday card should be :)
I used papers from the Crate Paper Little Bo Peep pad.



I used some Kaisercraft Sea Breeze Sparklets.
The sentiment is from a CC Designs set called Great Birthday Greetings.

I also used the sketch at Sketch Saturday for some inspiration.

Ingredients :
Stamps : Ponytail, Great Birthday Greetings
Card : x-press it, pool party, black,  Crate Paper Little Bo Peep
Ink : memento black
Other : Kaisercraft Sea Breeze Sparklets, copics

Sk8tr Henry

I have another new release sneak peek from CC Designs to show you today.
This time the Design Team are showcasing the new Roberto's stamps.
I chose this one called Sk8tr Henry 'cause he's just so cute (and I don't have that many boy stamps either)!

The sentiment is from a great new set too.  It's called More Scripted Sentiments.  It comes with 4 big words in script and then a lot of small words and sayings in a plain font to use with them.  There actually is a small "You are" but I decided to do "U R" instead using the Mini Alpha and Numbers Die.

Ingredients :
Stamps : Sk8tr Henry, More Scripted Sentiments (CC Designs)
Card : x-press it, night of navy, Oxford Lane (MME)
Ink : memento black, gumball green
Other : Mini Alpha and Numbers Die, copics

Copics Used :

Olivia's Apple

It's pretty amazing that it's almost July isn't it?  This year is flying by!
And the start of a new month means it's time for another release of gorgeous new stamps at CC Designs.

Today the Design Team are previewing CC Design stamps.  Head over to the blog to see everyone's creations.

I chose to work with this stamp called Olivia's Apple and I think she's really adorable!

The sentiment is a new one too and is from a set called All About Teachers.  I decided to try using the chalkboard technique with it.  My girls have lots of teachers and I always like to make thank you cards for them to let them know how much they're appreciated. So this set, along with the gorgeous Olivia, is wonderful and will get used a lot.

Ingredients :
Stamps : Olivia's Apple, All About Teachers (CC Designs)
Card : x-press it, black, sahara sand, Summer Stories (Teresa Collins)
Ink : memento black, versamark, antique linen DI
Other : woodgrain EF (SU), white crayon, ribbon (SU), white embossing powder, copics
