Pixie Girl

Today is RELEASE DAY for the MAY Stamps at C.C. Designs. As you have seen from our Preview Days, these new stamps revolve around Spring! There are 5 new character stamps and a re-release of two older sentiments now as clear stamp sets.

I decided to use the super cute new stamp called Pixie Girl.
I think she's adorable and would make anyone feel a little happier :)

I coloured her with copics to coordinate with these gorgeous papers from the Bloom and Grow collection by Simple Stories.

I decided to put her on a little tag.
I used the Layering Tags Die ,
the grass from the Make a Card #13 Die
and the sun from the Make a Card #16 Die.

I also used the Scalloped Rectangles Die for a pretty little edging to the "wood" panel.

The sentiment is from the Roberto's Rascals Celebrate set.

Now check out the amazing creations from the Design Team!

Party Kitty

I have been making a lot of bold and bright cards lately
but I have a very soft and sweet card to share with you today.

This is Party Kitty  from the newest release at CC Designs.
I love this little cutie :)

I like to colour balloons with soft colours and make them appear translucent.
And I was happy how this bunch of balloons turned out.
I then spronged on a cloudy sky, cut the piece into a rectangle and sponged some linen distress ink around the edges.
Then I mounted it onto the Scalloped Rectangles Die.

Ingredients :

Stamps : Party Kitty
Card : x-press it, kraft card, blushing bride core-dinations
Ink : memento black, antique linen DI, pool party
Other : Scalloped rectangles die, sweet die (Whimsy), music ef. (Spellbinders)

Adora

Today is RELEASE DAY for all of our new JULY products at C.C. Designs!! As you have seen from our Preview Days, all of these products are AMAZING! For the month of July, we have 6 adorable character stamp sets (2 are from a brand new artist), 1 Circle Cut & Stitch Die, and a coordinating Circles Stencil!

I decided to use this gorgeous new stamp called Adora.  I just love her big beautiful eyes.
The words come with her too.  I just stamped them and then drew a freehand frame around them and cut them out.  I really like the way they look. 
 I also used a scalloped rectangle die for the little white trim border under the paper.

Balloons

I have a card for CC Designs to share with you today.

I don't do paper-piecing very often but I decided to paper-piece her dress and I really like how it turned out :)

The sentiment is from a new set called Birthday Wishes Sentiments and I used the Banner die to cut it out.  Then I just used a needle to push 2 holes through the top of it and threaded my twine through and tied a bow.

Ingredients :

Card : x-press it, baked sugar, (Little Yellow Bicycle)
Ink : memento black, antique linen Distress Ink, suede
