C.C. Designs November Release Preview Day 2: FA LA LA LA ANGELS

 

Happy Monday everyone! C.C. Designs has an awesome release coming out this Thursday. There are 5 new clear stamp set with coordinating outline dies, along with a Quad Collage Die, and an accessory Christmas Tickets stamp set.

 

There are also bigger prizes being offered which include four $20 Store Gift Certificates, plus 1 person will win the ENTIRE November Release!! Head over to the C.C. Designs Blog HERE to see all the details!!

 

Today, I'm previewing a set called FA LA LA LA ANGELS which features the most adorable angels ever! I used the Trio Collage Die from the previous release, cut it out twice, and then stacked them so I had two squares top and bottom.

 

The papers are from different paper pads. To keep with the heart theme, I drew in hearts with a gold marker around the sentiment.

C.C. Designs: Vampy Wishes!

Happy Friday everyone! C.C. Designs had an awesome, spooktacular release in September, and with Halloween right around the corner I decided to color up Vampy Wishes! Isn't he amazing?! And that bat is just the cutest thing ever!

The bat paper was from an older Recollections 12x12 Paper Pad called Haunted Estate. It was originally orange with the bats. My tip of the day....if you have decorative paper that doesn't match, color it!!

The entire Halloween Release was a lot of fun to create with, and I just couldn't let the month end without giving this fabulous vampire some more exposure. We hope to see you creating and sharing with us on the C.C. Designs Customer Facebook Page.

Hugs,

Rosie

The Greeting Farm Stamp Feature: Oh Boys

Happy Thursday everyone! The Greeting Farm introduced 3 NEW Stamp Sets in the Store on October 15th along with their short BLOG HOP! Come play along as the winner gets to take home all 3 sets!!

This cute set called OH BOYS features 8 boy characters, and is a must have for your collection! There are so many ways to recreate friendships using this set, along with the endless customized birthday cards you can make. I mean seriously, could their hairstyles and outfits be any more stylish?!

 

I decided to create an outdoor scene using three of the boys. The background was created using ZIG markers on watercolor paper. It's so easy!! I just scribbled some of the marker on the watercolor paper and then used a wet paintbrush to create the sky and grassy area.

I stamped the boys on X-press It Blending Card and colored them with Copic Markers. I then cut them out using the coordinating Outline dies. I raised them on pop-dots for added dimension.

 The entire release is available in The Greeting Farm Store for purchase now. Don't forget, there are still a few more hours to join in the BLOG HOP for a chance to win the entire release!

Hugs,

Rosie
