3 CDS Sneak Peek Projects!

Tweet

Hi Everyone!

I have lots to share with you today so I will keep it as short and sweet as possible!  :)

My first card is done with the "Sentimental Flowers" set that I illustrated for Clear Dollar Stamps.

The flower and leaves were cut using the new downloadable SVG files that we are now creating for use with Cricuts and other cutting machines. They are too cool!

Both will be available on February 1st. 

The beautiful ribbon is Really Reasonable Ribbon's - Green Glitz.

There are lots of flower elements to mix and match and 5 different sentiments that will work for many occasions.

*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*

This fun bookmark was done using the "Hoppy Day" stamp set illustrated by Laurie Wilson.

I also used the Tabs and Tags dies and the Tabs and Tags Additions stamp set.

*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*

 The notebook was decorated with some papers for the Best of K&Company stack and the beautiful new "Bold Butterflies" stamp set illustrated by Lori McCroskey. They were cut with the "Bold Butterflies Die" set also releasing February 1st!

The pretty ribbon is Old Gold Satin from Really Reasonable Ribbon.

The jewels are Gradient Gem Stickers from Creative Charms, that I colored with Copic markers to match.

Thanks so much for dropping in. I hope you will head over to Lori's blog to see more sneaks and to get the links for all of the amazing artists that have created projects for your inspiration.

You will want to check back tomorrow for even more sneak sets!  ;)

Hugs,

Day 3 of CDS Sneak Peeks ~ Plus an IB4S Sample

Tweet

Hi again!

I have a couple of cards from differnt companies to post today and didn't want one to get lost in the shuffle. so I am doing them both on one post.  :)

It's day 3 of Clear Dollar Stamp's sneak peeks and I have a couple samples to show you made with the "Baby Bundle" set created by Laurie Wilson.

The ribbons on both cards are from Really Reasonable Ribbon. The top on has Yellow Gingham, and the lower one has Kiwi Organza Dots.

I hope you will go check out Lori's blog to get the links for all of the other girl's sneak peeks. You are sure to be inspired!

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

I know it seems a little late for a holiday card but it is not! New Years is a holiday!  :)

Besides the "Trees Silhouette" stamp from I Brake For Stamps is not meant to be a holiday stamp. I just made it work! You can use it for every day, rustic, camping, masculine cards and more! Then you can use it to get a jump on next years Christmas cards!

I just stamped the trees is black, masked off the moon with a small circle, then sponged in the night sky. Add a few twinkling stars with glitter and stamp a sentiment and Viola!

If you go shopping @ I Brake For Stamps, be sure and remember to use coupon code SAVE10TRUE to save 10% off of your entire order! 

The cardstock is Heavenly White, Smooth Silver Lustre, and Pearl Black Glossy from the Paper Temptress.

That pretty ribbon is Sheer White With Silver Accents from really Reasonable Ribbon.

I hope you and yours have a safe, happy and healthy 2011!


Thanks for dropping by!

CDS's New "Un-Frog-Ettable" Digi

Tweet

Hello!

I am a little late getting this posted due to some computer issue. Don't ya just hate it when that happens?

I have a couple of samples to show you today that were done using the new "Un-Frog-Ettable" digi set that I illustrated for Clear Dollar Stamps.

The set would work for anyone but would be TOAD-ALLY AWESOME for teachers. You can download it instantly for only $3.00!

My first sample is a covered note pad that would make a great teacher gift.

The next sample is a card that would work great for a male teacher. It is sometimes hard to find stamps for the guys!

Please head over to Lori's blog for a list of the other girls who made samples with this image and to check out the rest of the new digi releases!

Thanks for dropping by!

A comment from you would be TOAD-ALLY AWESOME!!!

Hugs,

True :D

My "Digital Delights" "EAC" + "DTC" Summer Time Frog Challenge Card

Tweet

Hello All!
Hope you are staying cool!
Today's card is made with one of my good friend Wendy's digi stamps.
She has just started a new challenge blog called Delightful Sketches and this is my entry for this week's sketch. This little guy was from her digi site Digital Delights. He is one of her Freebie Friday digis. You should check it out. Every Friday she posts a new freebie!



I took the image copied it, flipped it upside down and mirrored it so it looks like he is looking at his reflection. That is one of the cool things about digis...you can manipulate them for your own effects!
I have used a hodge podge of papers. Most of them from my scrap pile but, the cool ice cream paper is "Imaginisce- Summer Cool-Chocolate Double Dip". The card body is my fav...Bazzill Swiss Dots.
I have used lots of Stickles and Crystal Effects on this little guy so he really shines! Isn't he summery in his shinny polka -dot floaty? I found some really neat polka- dotted ribbons to match.



Here is the sketch Wendy wants us to use for this challenge.
You should join us in this week's challenge. The prize is 3 didgis of your choice from her shop and a chance to be a guest DT!


I am also entering this card in the "Everybody-Art-Challenge" and the Digital Tuesday Challenge where thier themes for this week are "Summertime". I think this card fits nicely don't you?

Here are some more pictures to check out. I never seem to know when to stop clicking that darn camera! LOL!
Remember, you can click on any image to see it enlarged for better detail.




I thank you so much for dropping by! Please be a sweetie and leave me a comment so I know you were here!

Pretty Frog and Flower Card

Tweet

Hello,
This is another card made for my guest DT stint for "The Greeting Farm." This is from their "Down by the Pond" set. I just think it is such a cute frog! I didn't use a lot of embellishments because I wanted that pretty "Basic Grey" DP to show. The card base is Bazzill Dots.
Please let me know what you think. :)
