I used dps from Carta Bella Devoted 6x6 Paper Pad. I distressed all the edges with Walnut Stain ink. These stamps come with coordinating die-cuts (Cupid Outline and Angel Wings Outline) to cut out the shape of the image with extra shapes too...like hearts, wings, Love U, etc. The paper die-cuts on this altered frame are the extra dies in the sets. I also used some of the extras from another new die called Make a Card #2. The rest of the embellies are stickers and flowers from Michaels.

Be sure to head over to the C.C. Designs BLOG to see all the creations from my fellow DT sisters! They are amazing and you'll get to see more of these adorable angels! And don't forget these new stamps and dies will be in the store on January 3rd!!

C.C. Designs~Maynard Bear by DoveArt Studio

Happy Tuesday everyone! Are you surviving the crazy week of last minute shopping or did you get everything done early so you could chill at home? I thought I had everything done, but there's always something I forget so I had to brave some of the stores this morning. Hopefully I don't have any more surprises!! 

I will be MIA for the next few days on my blog so I want to take this opportunity to wish you all a very MERRY CHRISTMAS!!

Today I'm sharing a Christmas card using this adorable and versatile stamp from C.C. Designs called Maynard Bear from DoveArt Studio. I LOVE bears, and I've used this bear to make baby card, birthday cards, and Christmas cards. I sprinkled Stampendous Shabby Pink and Aged Taupe Embossing Enamel around the paper edge and heated it with my toaster....it helps keeps the powder in place. :)

Copics:

Bear: E41, E42, E43, E44

Pink: R81, R83, R85

Green: YG23, YG25, YG67

I used some dps that were in my stash. I'm always getting questions on how I get my bows so perfect. I use a cheap plastic tool called a Bow Easy. It's flat, easy to store, and easy to use!

You can see the full line of DoveArt Studio stamps HERE. And be sure to join the C.C. Designs Facebook Group to see more inspiration and get some FREEBIES! 

Have a great and awesome week!

Love,

Happy Monday everyone! I'm back today to share the details on this new card I made using some awesome Mama Elephant stamps and dies! Don't forget, you still have time to enter our current "ANYTHING GOES" challenge on the 7 Kids College Fund Challenge Blog. 

 

Yesterday was my birthday so I decided to take a break from Christmas cards and make a fun birthday card. I absolutely LOVE penguins so this cute and adorable Arctic Penguins Stamp Set from Mama Elephant just had to be mine, haha!! I'm loving the stamps and coordinating die cut sets from Mama Elephant and this one is probably one of my faves! You can see the entire list of products and links below. :)

 

My decorative papers are from Doodlebug Sugar Shoppe 6x6 paper pad. The sentiment is from Mama Elephant Make a Wish Clear Stamp Set. I cut the sentiment out using some fabulous dies called By DIEzyne Dies Stitched Circles. 

 

That awesome glitter around the sentiment is Stampendous Fushia Crushed Glass Glitter. To make the card even more sparkly, I took my Wink of Stella Clear Glitter Marker and brushed it over the black cardstock and the letters in the sentiment.

This challenge runs for the month of December so you still have 17 more days to enter. There will be extra prizes so you'll definitely want to join us!! :) :)

I'm back to making Christmas cards and LMMS recently added some new Christmas digis to the LMMS STORE! They are all soooooo adorable and I wanted to color them all up...right away....like asap, LOL! But I've been fighting a sinus and upper respiratory infection for the past week and a half so it's been a little slow going lately. I finally got some antibiotics from the doctor's visit this week so hopefully I'm back to 100% soon.

Since I LOVE bears, I decided to color up Kiki's Gifts first....she's just so stinkin' adorable!! She's stamped on X-Press It Blending Card with Memento Tuxedo Black Ink and colored with Copics. I added Stampendous Frantage Aged Taupe Embossing Enamel around the edge of my image.

Little Miss Muffet Stamps~Spencer's Ship

 

TGIF everyone! I hope you had a great week so far! I've been sick for over a week, but finally today I feel like I'm getting better! It was the worst timing ever. It started the evening before Thanksgiving...yeah not great considering I was hosting this year and had lots of stuff to cook. I'm just glad I'm finally on the mend!

Yesterday started a new challenge on the Little Miss Muffet Challenge Blog, and it's ANYTHING GOES!! Pretty easy and simple! And there will be extra prizes since this challenge will run a little longer!! :) :)

 

I took a break from Christmas cards and decided to color up this cutie called SPENCER'S SHIP. I LOVE bears and Spencer is one of my faves! He's stamped on X-Press It Blending Card with Memento Tuxedo Black Ink and colored with Copics.

 

 Copics:

Bear: E41, E42, E43, R20, R22, C3, N2

Blue: B91, B93, B95, B99

Red: R24, R27, R29, R39

Gray: C3, C5, C7

 

I used some awesome digital papers from MicheleRDesigns called By The Sea 6x6 Paper Pad, along with the coordinating By The Sea Elements Pack 1 (for the paper bow and ribbon strip) and By The Sea Elements Pack 2 (for the sentiment). The corner die is from Whimsy Stamps and the pearls were in my stash.

In the side view you can see the dimension. I added pop-dots behind Spencer, the sentiment and the Karen Foster Anchor Sticker (I added cornstarch to the back of the sticker to remove the stickiness and then added the pop dots). If you look closely you can see I used the By The Sea Card Inserts to decorate the inside of my card too. :)

Make it Colourful Challenge #16: Glistening Snow and Ice

Today starts a new MONTHLY challenge on the Make it Colourful Blog. The theme this time around is:

GLISTENING SNOW and ICE! 

Oh my word, these challenges are getting harder and harder! I thought the last ones were tough, but this one brought on major anxiety!! I didn't even know where to start. Then I found a picture on Facebook that looked as if the sun was rising in the background so I tried that as inspiration. I'll have to try and take a better photo in the morning because in real life the back ground isn't as bright or as purplish. This digi is called COLD BY LIGHT.

 Copics:

Bench: E81, E84, E87, E89

Lamp: YR20, YR21, C3, C5

Bow: R22, R24, R27, R29, R59

Remember to use a Make it Crafty image and upload your projects to the Make it Crafty Gallery. We’d love to see you share your work of art with us. 

Also, you are more than welcome to share your progress, possible disasters and your triumphs with us in the Facebook group HERE.

Have a great week!
