Country Lula for August Tuesday Review…

My card for today uses Country Lula,  the new Rolling Rose die (video below) and a sentiment from the new Mixed Messages stamp set.

The tool I used to help me roll up the rose is in the store HERE.

I made a video for the Rolling Rose die…

I stamped Country Lula on PaperTrey Ink white card-stock with Memento Tuxedo Black ink and colored her with Copic Sketch markers.   I masked her with Eclipse tape and stamped the chicken wire background stamp from Oxford Impressions behind her and the grass below her.  I think the grass is from Rubber Stampede. Inked the sky in with Tumbled Glass Distress ink and the grass with Peeled Paint Distress ink and the Ink Blending Tool.

The little white flowers are from Maya Road, the pattern paper pad is 6×6 For the Record from Echo Park, Martha Stewart Around the Page Punch set, Hero Arts gems, machine stitching and the leaf frond is a small Sizzlet die from Stampin Up.

Here’s a close up of this cutie!

Are you singing it yet?  The line from the song “Evergreen”…. haha, now it’ll be stuck in your brain for days!  I always hate that! sorry!   Lovin’ my light tent!  It was so fast to capture this card tonight!  yea!  Scroll down for the video on how I made it!

This is the new rolling rose die from CC Cutters…I’ll do a little video for it soon!  How come a gal gets all video crazy after she gets a video camera?! lol   I used Pink Paislee Butterfly Garden papers, clear stamps and Ephemera Bits  for this card.  The lacy border and vine are from My Favorite Things… links below!  Pearls from Hero Arts… colored them with copic marker E55.

Be Good Laugh…

Meet Laugh…one of the new Laugh Lines gals from CC Designs. When this new rolled rose die and new Authentique Christmas 6×6 paper pad arrived this week, I decided I needed to make a Christmas card with this cutie!  Then I thought it could be birthday even!  Our oldest daughter’s birthday is Christmas Day,  so I might be adding the check off box…naughty or nice! lol  Oops,  goofed…should’ve made her with red hair!

Laugh is stamped on PaperTrey Ink Select White Card-stock with Memento Tuxedo Black ink and colored with Copic Sketch Markers.  Hair – E50, 23, 25, 27, 29… Skin – E000, 00, 01, R20, 21, (teeny bit of 22)… Dress/leggings – E81, 87 (had to do some tip to tip coloring)… Shoes – E43 ,44, 47, 49… Eyes – B21, 23.

I stamped the holly around the perimeter of the stamped image with Forest Moss Distress ink  (stamped off on scrap paper first each time because the first impression was too dark).  The holly corners and fill in stamps are oldies but goodies from Stampa Rosa.  I’m sure they are out there somewhere because I have similar ones from other companies. I aged the edges with Antique Linen Distress ink and the ink blending tool.

The rose is made with the new CC Cutters rolling rose die…so pretty!  I cut it with Stampin Up Real Red card-stock,  did a little shaping, rolled it up, glued it and spritzed it with Pearl Glimmer Mist.  A few leaf fronds and holly from Martha Stewart punches and I love it!

Haa Haa! What a character, so cute with her tongue sticking out!

CC Designs August release preview today is the new Cling mount, rubber stamp, Happy Birthday sentiment set… FIVE very cool, hip and fun to use sentiments that complement the Laugh Lines images wonderfully!   I stamped Bee Laugh with Versafine Onyx Black ink on 140# watercolor paper and painted her with Distress ink refills.  Face – tattered rose and vintage photo, Hair – antique linen, vintage photo and walnut stain,  Bee suit – mustard, black soot, vintage photo, Grass – brushed corduroy, peeled paint, Sky – weathered wood. I edged the card with vintage photo distress ink and the ink blending tool.  Sentiments are stamped with Versafine Black Onyx ink also… love that ink!  Cancellation stamps are from the CC Designs Butterflies postage set.  Parenthesis are cut with a CC Cutters die,  I used the medium size here.  Awwww… the tape… Smash tape from K & Co.!  I bought mine at the LSS in Ottumwa, IA, Craft and Hobby Connection!  Lisa and Jeremy carry a HUGE inventory of CC Designs rubber stamps too!!!  ❤

On the inside I used the Happy Birthday sentiment from the new set…love it!

Flower Laugh and Bee Laugh…

Bringing you sunshine and flowers!  This is Flower Laugh!  The new gal on the block from CC Designs!    So cute with her quirky little smile!!!  Personality +++! So fun to color too!

Flower Laugh is a cling mount stamp… I inked her with Memento Tuxedo Black ink,  stamped her on Strathmore Bristol Smooth card and colored her with Copic Sketch markers

To complement the new Laugh Lines stamps, Christine illustrated a set of four postal stamps…also cling mount stamps. (to cut out the postage looking half circle,  I use my Japanese screw punch!)

The “thinking of you” sentiment is from another new set we’ll be previewing later this week, called Mixed Sentiments!  I cut it out with one of the banners from the CC Cutters banner set.

I used the sketch from Mojo Monday Challenge blog, HERE,  for my Flower laugh card.

Next up… Bee Laugh… spunky little character!  love her!

Another postal stamp from the Postage Laugh set…another new sentiment from a set we’ll be previewing tomorrow!  I also used the CC Cutters Dottie Trim die, link below…
