Merry Christmas to Ewe….

Pam Sparks24 Comments

Look at this super cute new lamb in the Animal Crackers line from CC Designs!  Ornament Ewe and the sentiment Merry Christmas to Ewe are in the store now at All That Scraps.com,  HERE.   I stamped her with Memento Tuxedo Black ink on Beckett Expression Super smooth 80# card-stock… cut it out and added a real life ornament hanger…turned out so cute!  The branch is an old McGill punch but I’m thinking Martha Stewart might have one similar now.  I used the Holly Punch around the page set from Martha Stewart.  The pattern paper is that Authentique Christmas 6×6 pad again… ribbon from my “stuff”.  I threaded the ends through the holly border..they weren’t exactly in the same spot of each side so I left a little end showing on each side…although a bow could’ve been cute… I’m not much of a bow person but I’m working on it now and then!

The October Release is so FUN!  Head over to the ATS blog HERE,  to see the other images the ATS DT gals are showing today!  Some awesome/fun creations!  You will LOVE Laugh Lines Christmas car and Reindeer Lights  AND…drum roll…this Fabulous Christmas Bulbs border die! I haven’t used it on a card yet but I did make up this sample to show off the die… it comes straight but I just glued it on curved a bit…

Isn’t it AWESOME?  I love it!!!!  I cut it out of dark green, then red, blue, yellow, bright green and orange.  Just clipped off the bulbs and stuck them onto the dark green I cut…super easy and fast. A little dot of  Tombow Mono Multi glue right on each bulb of the dark green cut is all it takes! *I’ll throw in a tip here…keep your mono multi glue laying down all the time… comes out better!  I even leave it with the lid off while I’m working… keep the glue cleaned off the tip and you’ll love it!*  Added the little light reflection with a white uniball pen.   I LOVE these old fashioned looking Christmas lights… it’s gonna be one of my favorite dies ever!

Here’s the sample I made for the dies we showed yesterday,  the 5 Point Flower and the Leaves dies…

(I used two of the largest flower on the bottom,  one middle sized and one small)

so pretty!  so much potential!  I know these will be favorites too!  yea!  Thank you Christine!

Thanks for stopping by… I’ll be back tomorrow with a card for the Sweet November part of the Oct. release…see ya then!

THE BEST THING is today the whole release is in the store HERE!!!  YOU DON’T HAVE TO WAIT!  Sorry for yelling in caps but it’s so exciting!!!  You are going to want them all…hehe   The DT will be showing more tomorrow and Wednesday also…I do LOVE Christmas but I think you probably already knew that about me!

Here’s a close up of the 5 Point Flower and Leaves dies…

I colored these images with distress ink refills and used the Christmas pad from Authentique!  Stitched it on the sewing machine,  I use heavier thread so it shows up better.  I drew in the z looking trim on his cap with a copic multiliner pen.

Have a great Monday and have fun lookin’ and shoppin’!   ttul

Latte Kiki for Fall…

Pam Sparks20 Comments

Latte Kiki is one of the new images for September from CC Designs.  I just love her with her to go cup…can you see I colored the holder to look corrugated?!  too fun!  Scroll down to my previous post for a skin coloring with copics video.

Here’s a close up…

I tried to match the copic colors I used to the We R Memory Keepers pattern paper… her dress is BG10, BG72, E81 and E41 over the top.  Kinda fun when the combo works out!  Her hair is E30, 23, 25, 27 and the orange is YR12, 14, 15, 18. I used a new Fiskars border punch…love the little squirrels, leaves and acorns it punches out, it’s called Fall Gatherings.  The leaves at her feet are from a Marvy oak leaf punch.  The sentiment is from CC Designs, Amy R stamps Sassy Sentiments set.  I ran the strip of kraft card-stock through a paper crimper.  The tag is cut with a CC Designs Cutters Tags It stamp and die set.

Just love using these warm Fall colors!

Thanks for stopping by – I’ve been messing around with videos off and on and come to find out the battery or charger is bad in my new video camera.  I called Canon today and now I have to send it in.  I’d get almost done with one and the crazy thing would shut off!  Did you hear me moaning?  *sigh*  I’m sure my walls did here! lol  Hopefully they will be fast in getting it figured out and back to me before I forget what I’ve learned!

I made this card using the sketch from the Sketch Saturday blog HERE. I’m also linking to the Stampin’ for the Weekend Challenge blog HERE, the theme is “what a cutie”!  Anything goes at Simon Says Stamp Challenge Blog, HERE.
