Unicorn Lucy

I have used another adorable stamp from the newest release by CC Designs.
This one is called Unicorn Lucy. Isn't she so sweet?!

I decided to make this a birthday card, rather than a card for Halloween.

And I kept this card very clean and simple (except for a few shiny things) so that it is all about her! :)

Ingredients :

Stamps : Unicorn Lucy, 

Card : x-press it, black, basic grey

Ink : memento black, versafine black, white craft

Other : MAC #14 die, copics

Candle Blowing

Today is RELEASE DAY for the new APRIL Stamps at C.C. Designs. As you have seen from our Preview Days, these new stamps revolve around birthday parties and celebrations!

Isn't this a fabulous release?!  I love them all!

But I've used Candle Blowing today and she is a real sweetie!

I coloured her with copics (which was lots of fun) and decided that she would look great with the phone from the  Make a Card #4 Die.

The sentiment and other embellishments (star, balloon, streamers, base layer) are from the Make a Card #14 Die.

Every release we will have a New Release Blog Hop to showcase our awesome Design Team. Check out their amazing creations! This month we have an awesome Guest Designer joining us! Please give a warm welcome to Mindy Baxter of My Creative Scoop!

Balloon Boy

It's nearly time for another fabulous release of stamps at CC Designs!
The Design Team are showcasing Roberto's Rascals stamps today and I'm giving you a sneak peek of this gorgeous little guy.
This is Balloon Boy.
And I love him so much!  Isn't he the cutest?!

I coloured this cute stamp with Copics and cut it out.
Then I created a background for him using watercolour paper and various Distress Inks, water splodges, flicks of white paint and some black enamel accents.
And I was really happy with how it turned out :)
I used the Make a Card #6 Die to cut a tag out of it.
And I decided to keep the card clean and simple to keep the focus on Balloon Boy and the tag.

The white piece was cut out using the Make a Card #14 Die
and I also used the Birthday Wishes Sentiments Stamp Set.

4 Leaf Puppy

It's new release time at CC Designs (well almost)!
I have a sneak peek for you today :)

This is 4 Leaf Puppy, and isn't he adorable?!

I've used a new stamp called Spotty Dotty too.  I just stamped it with white craft ink, so super easy and it made such a sweet background.

The sentiment is from a new set called Lucky Rainbow Sentiments.  It is actually one large sentiment but I decided to split it and put this part on the front of the card and the rest on the inside of the card with an uncoloured stamp of the puppy.
I must admit it's rare for me to stamp the inside of a card, I am a bit lazy in that department.  But I really like how this turned out.

Ingredients :

Stamps : 4 Leaf Puppy, Spotty Dotty, Lucky Rainbow sentiments
Card : x-press it, crumbcake, baked sugar
Ink : memento black, versafine, white craft
Other : MAC #14 die, Make a tag die, copics

Valentine Cupcake

I have another adorable stamp from CC Designs to share with you today.
This is Valentine Cupcake.  But you can obviously use the stamp for so much more than Valentine cards.
I decided to add to the hearts on her dress with a couple more.
But then used a general kind of sentiment, so that I could use it for a Birthday card or Thank you or pretty much anything.
And she is just SO sweet! :)

I really loved colouring this little cutie :)


Ingredients used :

Stamps : Valentine Cupcake, Celebrate
Card : x-press it, regal rose, grey, red, My Girl (MME)
Ink : memento black, versafine
Other : MAC #14 die, MAC #13 die, Dotted Rectangles die, princess enamel dots, smoochie enamel dots, copics

Meowy

I used one of the cats from the the cute new Meowy set from CC Designs on a tag.

I use tags quite a lot on my cards, but this time I decided to just keep it as it is.  They do come in handy for present giving don't they?!

I used the smallest tag from the Make a Tag die for this.  And I used a discontinued stamp from CC Designs (BamPowPop Sentiments) to create a starry background with the emboss resist technique.  

The "HB2U" is from the Make a Card #14 Die.

Donuts

Hi:) I used a new stamp set from CC Designs to make a super sweet scene this week.
This new set called Donuts, is just so adorable!

I made a little scene with papers from Graphic 45's Home Sweet Home and CC Designs Mini Alpha and Numbers Die.  This die is fabulous!  It's such a cute font and small enough to create your own fun sentiments for any occasion :)

I loved colouring these two cuties!

Forest Pixie

I have a really cute card to share today, using the new CC Designs set called Forest Pixie.
You might be wondering where the pixie is?!  Well she is gorgeous, but I decided to make this all about the adorable forest creatures instead :)
All of the stamps are from this set and I used the matching outline die too. It comes in very handy for cutting out this many little elements.

I decided to use a sentiment from the new 4 seasons sentiments set.  I thought it went well with the scene and I will be able to use it for lots of different occasions.

Ingredients :

Stamps : Forest Pixie, 4 Seasons Sentiments
Card : x-press it, crumb cake, naturals ivory, espresso, celery, gumball
Ink : memento black, espresso, pool party, celery
Other : Forest Pixie Outline Die, Make a card #14 die, Make a card #11 die, autumn enamel dots, copics

Teeny Bikini

It's a bit hard to believe that it's almost time for another new release at CC Designs!
And it's Summery beach weather for some people, while it's freezing and dreary, with flooding rains here :(  
Anyway it was lovely to see some sunshine, even if it was just on a card.

This is a sneak peek of a new set called Teeny Bikini.  She is just so adorable isn't she?!  The starfish is included in the set too along with a shell and some sentiments.
I decided to choose a different sentiment though. This one is from a new set called Beachies.  (I just couldn't resist it) :)
The sun is from the new Make a Card Summer die.

Ingredients :
Stamps : Teeny Bikini, Beachies
Card : x-press it, crumb cake, sugar, Uncharted Waters (Glitz)

Star

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

This is a Little Pixie stamp called Star.  She's very sweet isn't she?!
This sentiment, plus a couple of others, comes with her too :)
I decided to cut it out with this star banner from Make a Card #14 Die and I just used some star dust stickles on the star (and on the other stars too)!

The whole card is cut out using this die as well.  I love how you get the stitching detail on the card's edge with it.

The papers from the Tickled Pink pad fit her so well. And I used the Make a Tag Die again too :)


Ingredients :

Stamps : Little Pixie Star
Card : x-press it, slate, silver, Tickled Pink paper
Ink : memento black, versafine
Other : Make a card #14 die, Make a tag #6 die, ribbon, brad, star dust stickles, copics
