Hearts To You

I've made a very clean and simple card to share today, with no patterned paper and very minimal embellishing

I used a new stamp from CC Designs called Hearts to You.  She is so sweet.
And I used my Copics to make a background scene for her.

I haven't done a sky like this before and I was happy with how it turned out.
I just coloured a background with B0000 and then used my blender pen to create random little cloud shapes in it. I then used B00 to add darkness under the clouds and around the girl.

Ingredients :
Stamps : Hearts to You
Card : x-press it, grey, slate
Ink : memento black
Other : MAC#12 die, copics

Donut Girl

I had another play with some stamps today :)
This time I used the hungry girl from the CC Designs Donuts set.

She looks like she's having a great time, listening to her favourite songs and eating a donut (plus she has more donuts in the bag for later)!

The sentiment is from an older set called Cinnamon with Sunflower.  I just thought it went perfectly with Donut girl.  And the hug and kiss is from the Make a Card #12 Smoochies Die.

Ingredients :
Stamps : Donuts, Cinnamon with Sunflower
Card : x-press it, regal rose, pumpkin, choc chip, pip, old SU dsp
Ink : memento black, white craft, versamark

They're adorable aren't they!  I sponged on a cloudy background and added some grass with my copics to create this little scene.

Lil Love Bug

Today is the official RELEASE DAY for all of our new JANUARY products!! As you have seen from our Preview Days, all of these items are perfect for Valentine's Day and all those lovey dovey cards! You can view the entire release HERE!

As we mentioned all our stamps going forward will be CLEAR! We have 8 adorable clear stamps, 1 Smoochie Sentiments Clear Stamps, Circle Layering Dies, Make A Card #12 Die, Smoochie Enamel Dots, and 1 new Smoochie 6x6 Paper Pad.

It's a wonderful release isn't it!?  There are so many gorgeous goodies to play with but I decided to use Lil Love Bug.  I didn't want to make a card for Valentines Day, I just wanted to make a cute card and I left it without a sentiment so that I could use it for just about any occasion.  I also used some darker colours on her so that she wouldn't be TOO cute for a teenager.  I loved colouring her :)

I decided to use the "X's" from the new Die as more of a cross-stitch in the corners of the card rather than as a kiss.  And isn't the heart frame gorgeous!?

Ingredients :
Stamps : Lil Love Bug
Card : xpress it, razzleberry, slate, Smoochie paper pad
Ink : memento black
Other : Make a card #12 die, copics

Aphrodite Twila

It's Day 2 of  Sneak Peeks from the CC Designs new release.

I decided to use the gorgeous Aphrodite Twila and make a shaker card.
She was lots of fun to colour and she comes with the love heart music notes too. They are separate so you can stamp them where ever you like, which is great!  (And as CC Designs are clear stamps now, you can easily see exactly where you want them to go :)

I made the frame for the shaker by using the squares #1 die and the make a card #10 die for the rectangular window.  I stamped and embossed with silver the "hugs and kisses" from the Smoochie Sentiment set and the tiny hearts above that are from the new make a card #12 die.
This new die actually has a beautiful frame with tiny hearts all around it and the hearts I've used here are from the "left overs" from cutting out the frame.  I also used these tiny hearts as the confetti for the shaker. It's a little hard to see in the photo but she is resting on a layer pretty hearts.
The pink paper comes from the new Smoochie paper pad.

Ingredients :

Stamps : Aphrodite Twila, Smoochie Sentiments
Card : xpress it, silver, Smoochie paper
Ink : memento black, versamark
Other : silver ep, Make a card #12 die, Make a card #10 die, Squares #1 die, star dust stickles, Copics

Marietta

I have a sneak peek to show you today :)
This is one of the cute stamps from the new January release at CC Designs.

She is a Pollycraft stamp and her name is Marietta.
She's very cute and could be used for so many occasions I think.

There is lots of other new release stuff on this card too!
The "lots of love" is from the Smoochie Sentiments set.
Oh and that reminds me of some other big news to tell you.... CC Designs Stamps have gone clear!
So that is wonderful for sentiment placement!  I got this sentiment lined up with those dots really easily :)
The little heart on the diecut envelope is from the sentiment set too.

The new die is a great one! I've only shown a tiny bit of it on this card (the envelope and the "X & O's") but it has lots of other wonderful pieces too!

I cut strips of different pink paper from the new Smoochie paper pad to make the background and the grey spot is from that pad too.  And there are some Smoochie enamel dots to match the paper as well :)

Ingredients :
Stamps: Marietta, Smoochie Sentiments
Card : xpress it, basic grey, Smoochie paper pad
Ink : memento black, versafine
Other : make a card #12 die, make a card #10 die, Smoochie enamel dots, star dust stickles, copics
