Cinnamon and Reindeer

I have another CC Designs Christmas card to share with you today.
This one is using the adorable Cinnamon and Reindeer stamp.

This is my youngest daughter's favourite Christmas stamp and when she saw it coloured she asked me if she could have it for her Christmas card this year.  I usually just make a tag for her but this year she'll be getting this card instead :)  I also used her favourite Christmas paper on it, the green reindeer paper.  I really hope she loves it :)

Stamps : Cinnamon and Reindeer, Holly Jolly Sentiments
Card : x-press it, suede, kraft, Dear Santa (BoBunny)

What's Mew?

It's my last post for SugarPea Designs today.

I have really enjoyed playing along with their challenges and getting to use some of their gorgeous stamps.

Here is this weeks challenge :

This time I decided to use the photo as inspiration.
And I just went with the colours of black, white and orange.

This adorable stamp is called What's Mew?  And there are some wonderful sentiments included with it too.

This is my first orange cat.  I always colour them a greyish white so that they look my cat.
But I was happy with how this orange tabby turned out :)

Card : x-press it, slate, Sugar shoppe (Doodlebug Designs)
Ink : memento black, versamark

Sniffles and Snuggles

I am lucky enough to be Guest Designing for SugarPea Designs this month and it's Challenge time again :)

You can use the sketch or the photo for inspiration, but I went with the sketch.
I think it's a great one!

I did change the sketch slightly to make a square card though as I wanted to use this adorable stamp and it's quite large.
It's called Sniffles and Snuggles.  I love it SO SO much!
It is adorably sweet!  I've wanted it for years and I am so happy to have it now :)

I coloured it with copics and paper pieced the blanket. I like the way it adds a touch of coziness .

Stamps : Sniffles and Snuggles (Sugarpea Designs)
Card : x-press it, slate, My Girl (MME)
Ink : memento black, versamark

Elves again

Today is RELEASE DAY for all of the new OCTOBER Products at C.C. Designs!! As you have seen from our Preview Days, this release revolves around Christmas (which is right around the corner folks)!! For the month of October, we have 13 new character stamps, 4 dies, a Holiday Background stamp set, and a new Sentiment set.

I decided to use another one of the cuties from the Elves set.

He was lots of fun to colour and he has made such a happy Christmas card I think.

I have it sitting on my craft desk at the moment and I smile whenever I look at him :)

I also used the new Holly Jolly Sentiments set and CC Designs Circle Die.

The papers are from Making Merry by Little Yellow Bicycle.

Go-pher it

I have some exciting news to share!
I was invited to be a Guest Designer for SugarPea Designs this month :)
I have LOVED their stamps for a long time now.
They have so many great designs that are cute and sweet and fun.
And I feel so lucky to get the opportunity to play with some of them in their challenges.

Here is the Mix It Up Challenge :

I decided to use the sketch side and the super-cute Go-pher It stamp set.
I wanted to make a Thank you card for a male and I thought this gopher and sentiment would be just perfect :)

I grunged up the kraft cardstock and I diecut a circle but then ripped and tore it more and used foam tape to give it dimension and give the impression of looking through a hole or tunnel.

Ingredients :

Stamps - Go-pher It (Sugarpea designs)

Card - x-press it, kraft

Ink - memento black, antique linen distress ink, versamark

Other - circle die, tag punch, stardust stickles, white ep,  glossy accents, copics

Copics used ;

 E 11, 13, 31, 33, 35, 50, 53, 55
