Kitty with Butterfly

I truly can't believe it's May already, but it is! 

And that means it's time for a new stamp release at CC Designs too :)

I have a sneak peek of a new stamp for you.

This is Kitty With Butterfly, a Rustic Sugar design. 

They are very sweet aren't they?!

I decided to create a little scene.
I used the Circles #1 Die to make the sun and then used some distress inks on watercolour paper to make some colourful rays.  I splashed some water on them and added a few droplets of Glossy Accents too for a little added dimension.
Then I used the Make a card #11 Die to cut a grassy slope for them to play on.

The sentiment is from an older CC Designs set called Happy Day. It's not available any more, so count yourself  lucky if you have this one! :)  I just thought it went perfectly with this cute image and had to use it!

I'd like to enter my card in the following challenges :

Simon Says : The great outdoors
Word Art Wednesday : anything goes
Simon Says Stamp : anything goes

There are some more sneak peeks over on the blog and please come back again tomorrow for the new release blog hop.

Thanks for dropping by today :)

I used one of the adorable reindeer from the Reindeer Games stamp set and the sentiment comes with the set too.

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.

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.

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

Chickie

I made a cute little Easter bag with a sweet new image from CC Designs called Chickie today :)

I had  the little gold bag already and I used the rectangle dies to cover it with paper.
And I used the circle die and scalloped circle die to cut the image out.
The "happy" is from the Make a Card #11 die set.  I thought it worked really well with the Easter banner she is holding.
I just folded the top of the bag over and held it closed with a little painted clothes peg.

This isn't filled with chocolatey goodies yet, I will have to wait until the last minute to do that obviously (I have no willpower when it comes to chocolate!)

Ingredients :
Stamps : Chickie
Card : x-press it, regal rose
Ink : memento black
Other : MAC #11 die, circle die, scalloped circle die, rectangle die, copics

Thanks for dropping by today :)

Winter Bunny

Well it's nearly time for a new release at CC Designs.
Yes it's November already, can you believe it?!

I have a sneak peek for you today.  I've used two new stamps, Winter Cottage and Winter Bunny.
I just love this bunny, he's soooo cute!

I've also used the new Snowflakes Die and Make a Card #11 Winter die. The Snowy Day paper and dots are new too.

To make the background I stamped the cottage with versamark and clear embossed it.  Then I used CC Designs Snow Storm Ink Pad to paint on some snow.  I also used it around the edge of the card.

This release isn't actually a Christmas release,  and it doesn't even snow here at Christmas, but I just thought it would make a really cute Christmas card anyway :)

Ingredients :

Stamps : Winter Cottage, Winter Bunny
Card : x-press it, kraft, marina mist, Snowy Day paper
Ink : memento black, versamark, snow storm ink
Other : Snowflakes die, Make a card #11 Winter die,  snowy day dots, pinky rectangles die, rectangles #1 die, make a card #10 Christmas die, clear ep, copics, clear wink of stella

Copics used :

W 00, 1

R 000, 24, 30, 85

BG 0000

E 50, 53

B 93, 95
