Happy Friday everyone! The MARCH RELEASE is now available for purchase, and it's full of some amazing stamps and a cute Bow Die. Head over to the C.C. Designs Store to pick up yours today. Be sure to use my code ROSEB46 at checkout. :)

 

 

My card features BARKY, along with the Bow Die. I used the little paw print from the Barky Set to create the pattern on the kraft cardstock at the top of the card. The sentiment is also from the Barky Set.

 

Copics:

Puppy: E41, E42, E43, E44, R20, C1 

 

I raised the paw print paper on foam tape for added dimension. The scallop bottom was made using a My Favorite Things Die.

 

  

Grab all your favorites in the C.C. Designs Store today using code: ROSEB46 at checkout. You're going to have so much fun coloring these cuties.

C.C. Designs MARCH Release NOW Available!

The MARCH RELEASE is now available for purchase!! Be sure to head over to the C.C. Designs Store to pick up yours today. You definitely don't want to miss out on the awesome stamps and fabulous new BOW Die. 

 

 

I knew when I saw the APRIL & MAY Clear Stamp Set that I wanted to try my hand again at the Rain Shaker Card Tutorial by Laura Dovalo. I'm still trying to figure some things out to keep it from snagging on the paper. I think this time, my foam tape was too thin. Hopefully, the 3rd time is the charm, LOL! 

 

 Copics:

Bear: E41, E42, E43, E44

Blue: B93, B95, B97, B99

Red: R24, R27, R29, R39

Duck: Y15, Y17, YR21, YR23, YR24

Duck Bill: YR04, YR07, YR09, E19

Pink: RV02, RV04, RV06, RV09 

 I used paper from the C.C. Designs Hearts and Dots Paper Pad. I rubbed some DI ink over the top to darken the white dots. Next I die-cut the cloud and grassy border with the C.C. Designs Cloud and Grass Die. The pointy part of the grass was causing issues with the beads falling down behind the green cardstock so I had to trim off the pointy grass edge.

 

  

Be sure to head over to the C.C. Designs Store and grab your favorites before they sell out! If my card inspires you to make a purchase, please click on the Store link in this post or use my affiliate code at checkout: ROSEB46

 

Thank you bunches and have an awesome day!

To finish it off, I added black rhinestone bling to the corners and raised Livana on foam tape.

C.C. Designs: MONKEYS!

Happy Friday everyone! Today, I'm showcasing a card for C.C. Designs featuring one of my fave sets from the C.C. Designs February Release.....MONKEYS!! I also used awesome paper from both of the new paper pads. The paper pads are 6"x6" and have 16 designs with 2 sheets of each design.

 

 

Aren't these monkey adorable? They seriously make me smile! To put this card together, I first put the green Hearts and Dots Paper on my white card base. Then I glued the patterned paper from Razzle Dazzle Paper Pad to some green cardstock, and die cut a circle out of the center. I placed foam tape under that panel and placed it on top of the green Hearts and Dots Paper.

 

 

 I die-cut some leaves from a Waffle Flower die set and placed them around the cut-out circle on foam tape for even more dimension. I love how the monkeys look like they are jumping out of the frame. This card was so much fun!

  Head over to the C.C. Designs Store and grab your favorites. Please click on my links or use code ROSEB46 at checkout! Don't forget to check out the Monthly Challenges and Tutorials sections of the Store too.

C.C. Designs: SPRING THINGS

Happy Wednesday everyone! Today, I'm showcasing a card for C.C. Designs featuring SPRING THINGS. It's one of the new stamps recently release as part of the C.C. Designs February Release.

 

In addition to new stamps, they also released a new Cloud and Grass Border Die, 2 new paper pads, and 2 sets of coordinating enamel dots. The paper pads are 6"x6" and have 16 designs with 2 sheets of each design. The shiny dots have the color throughout the entire dot, while the clear dots have the color in the base, but the dome is clear (almost like a mirror effect).

 

I used lots of goodies to create this card including the Cloud and Grass Border die to cut the grass for the center panel. The In and Out Circle Metal Die was used to cut out the white scallop frame. The blue heart paper and green polka dot paper are from the new Hearts and Dots Paper Pad.

 

  

I framed the circles with some beautiful I Am Roses Flowers and also included a pink bow.

Lee Holland Art: Teddy with Heart Balloon

Happy Thursday and Valentine's Day everyone! I hope you have an amazing day! Since it's Valentine's Day, I had to make a card celebrating LOVE. I'm also celebrating today because it's my first post as a Design Team Member for Lee Holland Art! I love his digital stamps!!

My card features an adorable bear from Lee Holland Art called Teddy with Heart Balloon. This cute bear is part of a LOVE BUNDLE in Lee Holland's Etsy Store at a special price! You get 8 images for only $6.68. And you can get a 10% coupon code by signing up for the Lee Holland mailing list here: https://www.leescutecreations.com.

I decided to go a nontraditional route with this cute bear by coloring the bear pink and adding a plaid design to the nose, stomach and bottom of the foot. For the background, I created a bokeh effect using Copic Markers. I just added dots in the colors listed below around the image. Then I dipped a Q-tip into Colorless Blender Solution and pressed the Q-tip onto the paper in a random pattern.

 Copics:

Pink: RV02, RV04, RV06, RV09

Plaid: BG13, BG75, YG23, G28, RV04

Bokeh Effect: BG10, BG13, BG15, BV02, R83, Colorless Blender 

I used some decorative paper in my stash. To finish it off, I added beautiful flowers from I Am Roses. I think they really frame the image well, and are the perfect embellishment to this bear image.

Be sure to head to the Lee Holland Etsy Store and check out all the awesome digis! You're going to LOVE them!!

Have an awesome day!

C.C. Designs FEBRUARY Release NOW Available!

The FEBRUARY RELEASE is now available for purchase!! Be sure to head over to the C.C. Designs Store to pick up yours today! You definitely don't want to miss out on the cute stamps, lovely paper pads, matching enamel dots, and the fabulous cloud and grass border die set! 

 

 

 When I saw the MONKEYS Clear Stamp Set, I knew I wanted to create a scene with the monkeys coming out of a barrel. I went on the hunt for some clipart and found this one online HERE.  I printed it about 3 inches high, cut it out, and used my craft knife to cut a slit at the top of the barrel for the monkeys to pop out of.

I die-cut a couple of the cloud borders from cardstock and used that as my template to rub distress oxide ink against to create the cloud background. Next, I used more Distress Oxide Ink to color up the top and bottom panels of the card and cut them out using the grass border dies. I LOVE these monkeys!! I had so much fun creating this card!!

 

 

Aren't they just the cutest monkeys ever?!!

 

 Copics: 

Monkey Fur: E23, E29, E49

Monkey Skin: E41, E42, E43, E44, R20 (ears)

C.C. Designs Preview Day 2: SPRING THINGS

Happy Wednesday everyone! Today, we are on Day 2 of Previews of the February Release at C.C. Designs. The release will be available for purchase on February 7th at 12pm CST. 

There are two adorable stamps sets, MONKEYS and SPRING THINGS, a new Cloud and Grass Border Die, 2 new paper pads, and 2 sets of coordinating enamel dots. The paper pads are 6"x6" and have 16 designs with 2 sheets of each design. The shiny dots have the color throughout the entire dot, while the clear dots have the color in the base, but the dome is clear (almost like a mirror effect).

 

I'm showcasing SPRING THINGS with several of the new products! This set is so adorable, and can be used for so many different occasions. My hubby likes to walk or prance by me and say HEY CUUUUUUUUTIE, and it seriously makes me smile or giggle every single time (especially when he does the prancing, LOL). When I saw the sentiments I just had to create this scene to represent us. :)

 

 

To create the cloud background, I cut out two cloud borders from the Cloud and Grass Border die. I used them as my "stencil", and rubbed Distress Oxide Ink over the bubble edge. The green polka dot paper (grass) is from the Hearts and Dots Paper Pad. It was cut with one of the grass border dies. The square scallop frame was created using the In and Out Square Metal Die. The colorful, striped paper is from the Razzle Dazzle Paper Pad. To finish it off, I added Razzle Dazzle Shiny Dots in the corners, along with a big bow.

Don't forget to head over to the C.C. Designs Customer Facebook Page and play along in all the games for a chance at a $20 Store Gift Certificate. Also, be sure to leave a comment on each DT post linked on the C.C. Designs Blog today and yesterday because one lucky winner will take home the ENTIRE RELEASE!
