C.C. Designs: HIPSTER SANTA

Happy Monday everyone! Today, I'm showcasing a stamp that was released back in October that I didn't get a chance to color up yet. Let me introduce you to HIPSTER SANTA. Isn't he AWESOME?! I love this version of Santa.

 

 Copics:

I knew when I saw him that he needed a red truck instead of a sled. I came across the perfect paper to pair with this fabulous Santa! The truck paper is from Simple Stories Very Merry 6x8 Paper Pad. Isn't it awesome?!

 

Remember, we have a monthly challenge in our Facebook Group where one winner will receive a Gift Certificate to the C.C. Designs Store and the 2nd person will receive a FREE digi! Click HERE to upload your card!

Got Joy Creations Holiday Card Series 2019 with 3 Prize Packages!

Happy Saturday everyone! Today I am taking over Dana’s Blog, GOT JOY CREATIONS, to share some creations for her Got Joy Creations Holiday Card Series 2019. I had the pleasure of meeting this awesome woman at the Craft and Hobby Convention a couple years back and let me tell you...she is absolutely AMAZING! So, when she approached me about joining in her fun card series, I JUMPED at the opportunity!

The Got Joy Creations Holiday Card Series started on November 17th, and ends today December 14th. Each day Dana featured various Guest Designers on her Blog and her YouTubeChannel. In addition, she also participated creating some of her own fabulous cards and tutorials. Make sure you scroll through this entire series for amazing holiday inspiration, giveaways and discount codes. Don’t forget to leave a comment on each blog post and YouTube video from November 17 until today to qualify for all of the fabulous giveaways!

Today just happens to be my birthday, and what better way to celebrate than having prizes! I’m giving away 3 bundles featuring stamps from The GreetingFarm and my favorite Black Olive Hybrid Ink Pad from C.C. Designs. These prize bundles will also include a card and embroidery hoop ornament featuring the stamp set of the prize package.

PRIZE PACKAGE 1: TGF Peace On Earth  + CCD Black Ink Pad + Card + Ornament
PRIZE PACKAGE 2: TGF Holiday Anya 5 + CCD Black Ink Pad + Card + Ornament
PRIZE PACKAGE 3: TGF Holiday Anya 7 + CCD Black Ink Pad + Card + Ornament

I'm showcasing PRIZE PACKAGE 1 using Peace On Earth on Dana's Blog so be sure to head over there to see what that stamp package looks like. Below, you can see PRIZE PACKAGE 2 and 3 featuring the Holiday Anyas. Please leave a comment on Dana's Blog and also below on my blog for a chance at winning one of the 3 prizes!

 PRIZE PACKAGE 2

PRIZE PACKAGE 3

The Greeting Farm stamps were my very first “character” stamps that I fell in LOVE with when I started card-making and blogging in 2010. My very first blog card features a TGF stamp so they will always hold a special place in my heart! Not to mention they create some of the cutest and most adorable stamps ever!

For the ornaments, I used 4-inch embroidery hoops and embroidery fabric. I stamped the images onto the embroidery fabric using the C.C. Designs Hybrid Ink Pad, and then used a Copic Multiliner to fill in any broken lines. Next, I colored them in with Copic Markers using a light touch when I got close to the edges. Be careful because the ink will bleed outside your stamped lines if you get too heavy handed! These ornaments are not embroidered at all...just colored in with markers! The finishing touch was to add a bow to the top and jute twine to hang the ornament.

I kept the design for both cards the same, but changed out the patterned paper. Even though the design is the same they both have a different look because of the different papers.

C.C. Designs December Release is NOW available!!

The DECEMBER RELEASE from C.C. Designs is now available for purchase!! Be sure to head over to the C.C. Designs Store to pick up yours today. This month there are 4 new stamp sets and a Happy Word Die. 

 

Today, I'm showcasing the OLIVE YOU Clear Stamp Set. I LOVE it!! Isn't she so much fun soaking up her martini?! I also created my own background paper with the single olive stamp. I colored everything with Copic Markers. 

 

Copics:

Skin: E000, E00, E01, E11, E13, E04

Hair: E42, E47, E49

Red: R22, R24, R27, R39

Glass Liquid: Y21, Y00, R81, RV02

Gold Pen

Stickles

Enamel Dots 

 

I created a polaroid frame with red cardstock and attached the "happy" word die to the top. To create the sentiment, I used one of the stamps from the RACCOONS stamp set and washi tape. I covered the parts I didn't want to stamp with the tape and then inked the sentiment. I pull the tape off and stamp the words I want to stamp. This way I am able to change the phrase from "eat" to "drink whatever you want!"

 

 

Be sure to head over to the C.C. Designs Store and grab your favorites before they sell out! Have and awesome Thursday!

 

Hugs,

Rosie

C.C. Designs December Preview Day 2 Blog Hop: RACCOONS

Happy Wednesday everyone! We are on Day 2 of Previews for the DECEMBER RELEASE at C.C. Designs. This month is another great release featuring 4 new stamp sets and a word die. The release will be available for purchase this Thursday at 12pm CST.

 

Don't forget, there will be two Preview Day Mini Hops on the C.C. Designs Blog...one yesterday and one today. Be sure to leave a comment on each DT post for BOTH Preview Days for a chance at winning a $15 Gift Certificate to the C.C. Designs Store! TWO winners will be announced on the C.C.

Today I'm previewing a fun and adorable birthday raccoon from the set called RACCOONS! He's sooooo AWESOME! I just love him! This set comes with two cupcake-loving raccoons, along with 3 sentiments. I colored him up using Copic Markers! 

 

Copics:

Face: W1, W3, W5

Belly: E49, W5, W3, W1

Black: C2, C8, Black

Brown: E42, E47, E49

 

I decided to fussy cut him and put him on an action wobble. So when you flick him, he shakes! I think it pretty much captures his true excitement over cupcakes, haha! The cupcake paper is from Echo Park Birthday Wishes-Boy. 

 

 

Happy Hopping! See you back here tomorrow for RELEASE DAY!
