Hi everyone!
I am so excited because it is time for "Clear Dollar Stamps" September stamps sneak peeks! You just don't know how hard it is for me to finish cards and not be able to post them right away! Especially since this was my very first time to play with CDS images. I am their newest DT!
Please be sure and check in often. I will be posting a couple of cards a day through Monday!
My first is from an adorable set called "I a-door you". I decided to paper piece the whole card instead of stamping and painting like I usually do. The only things that were painted are the pie and highlights on the kitty. I used Bazzill Dots for the card base, the rest of the cardstock is all core'dinations and the DP wallpaper is from DCWV's Rustic stack.
We were given some challenges for the September sneaks and this one fits into the "Distress it" challenge. I sanded the high spots off of the siding that my Cuttlebug folder created for a weathered look.
It took me a little while to figure out how I wanted to make the "siding" but thanks to my Cuttlebug folders and my scor-pal...I got 'er done!
Did you notice the "glass" in the window? ;)
Remember, You can click on any picture to get a better view of the details!
I am entring this card in the following challenges:
Stamptacular Sunday Challenge #21- “3D”
My cards ALWAYS are! LOL!
Creative Inspirations Challenge #24 – “Friendship Cards”
This card would be great to give to friends!
Cute Card Thursday Challenge #75- “New Beginnings”
This is the perfect card for a new home/ House warming gift.
I would really love it if you would leave me a comment! That is pretty much the reason I blog about my cards! Makes me feel good about what I am doing! I truly appreciate each and every comment I receive!
After you have done that...don't forget go check out all of the awesome sneak peeks some of the other girls on our wonderful team have to share with you! Remember, these stamps will all be available September 1st @ the beautiful new Clear Dollar Stamp store!

ReplyDeleteOMG True - this is incredible!!! You need to do a tutorial on the siding for the little house you built. What a wonderful imagination you have. I'm afraid your wonderful technique totally outshines the new stamp sneak peak. I was so ga-ga over the technique that I didn't even notice what the stamps looked like - LOL. Keep on rockin' girlfriend!!
