CDS Sneak Peek -"Teeny Stego Chocolate Bar Gift Wrapper"

Tweet

Hi!

It is that time again...Clear Dollar Stamps sneak peeks! I love it when I get to show you everything I have been working on all month!

Lori @ CDS sent us a lot of tiny stamps and asked that we try to do something quick and simple with them. For me, that is a real challenge! LOL! I did it though and had fun!

This candy bar wrapper is done with the "Teeny Stego" stamp, illustrated by Laurie Wilson. This cute little stamp is only going to be $1.49!!!! It will be available for sale December 1st @ Clear Dollar Stamps.

I know there are a lot of you who need to come up with little gifts for lots of people. This is a great way to do it. Buy any chocolate bar and make a wrapper for it. The receiver will have "something to roar about!"

CDS Sneak Peek "Apple Gobbler"

Tweet

Hello!

It is sneak peek time again over @ Clear Dollar Stamps! I love it when we finally get to show the creations we have made for next month's stamps!

The first one I am sharing is "Apple Gobbler".



The image was designed by: guest illustrator Heather Rolin. It is from CDS "Let us Gobble Together" stamp set. It will be available in October.

The cute little turkey has a tummy full of green apples.



On the inside, I have attached a wonderful recipe for Green Apple Cobbler. Of course I changed the name a tad to fit the card!

The cardstocks are Bazzill Dots and Core'dinations. The DP is from K&Company's Fall stack.



Please make sure and check out the other girls sneak peeks by clicking the Clear Dollar Stamp DT links in my left side bar.

I am entering this card in the following challenges:

"The Generous Fairy"

Tweet

Hello,
I am getting in the Christmas spirit already!
Cuddly Buddly has some brand new fairy stamps created from awesome illustrator Kim Sponaugle's artwork. I have worked with six of them and they are all just so cute! This is the first one I want to share with you. He is called "The Generous Fairy". The holly paper is also by Cuddly Buddly from their "Fairy Fun Seasonal Papers" which are a digi download. The cardstock is Bazzill and Core'dinations.

I popped the fairy then popped his arms and holly again. I then added Stickles to him and the holly paper. Of course I added some stitching and a pretty ribbon too!

Halloween/Birthday Card + Bag Done With My Original Artwork For Cuttlebug Challenge Blog

Tweet

Hello All!

It is Wednesday and you know what that means.... The http://cuttlebugchallenge.blogspot.com/ We are continuing on with our Birthday Celebration Palooza. This week we were asked to create a birthday card and gift bag. Just in case you didn't see my invitation and explanation....I have a friend that was born on Halloween. We always throw a party to cover both occasions. Thus the Halloween theme. You just thought I was loosing it didn't ya? LOL!

I did this card with one of my own sketches. I plan on starting my own line of stamps and or/ digis really soon and have been doodling away!

Remember, you can click on any image to get a gloser look!

If you scroll down to the next post, I have a short tutorial on how to turn YOUR sketches into images that can be popped, and you don't have to have crazy computer skills! ;)



For this set I used Core'dinations "Black Magic" papers that I ran through my Cuttlebug and distressed with sand paper. I also used Bazzill Swiss Dots CS and a little bit of Debbie Mumm "Harvest and Holiday" stack DP.



I would love it if you would leave a comment and let me know what you think about my set or original art.
