Pam Sparks21 Comments

Time for the October Release and Preview Days at All That Scraps!!!  Christine has illustrated the cutest, sweetest new images for Christmas in her Swiss Pixies line… this one called the “Group” and another “Baby Jesus and Angel”.  You can see the ATS Design Team creations for today on the ATS blog, HERE.  We’re also previewing some of the new dies from CC Designs Cutters line… the 5 Point Flower die and the Leaves die.  I AM SO EXCITED TO HAVE THIS LEAVES DIE!  It is a pair of leaf branches – NOT just ONE but a pair!  I love that I don’t have to flip one over to have it go the other direction!  I told Christine this and she did it for me!!!  and YOU too!  Hurrah!  Two awesome sentiment sets…Amy R Stamps for Christmas!  oooooohhhhh….love how they work together… I used them on this card too!

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

Be Good Laugh…

Pam Sparks22 Comments

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!

Noël Nora…

Do you L❤VE Christmas?  I do!  I am so excited to get a head start on creating Christmas cards!  I’ve never been able to do this before!  NO self discipline! *sigh* lol

I stamped Nora on Paper Trey Ink card-stock with Memento Tuxedo Black ink and colored her with Copic Sketch Markers.  I die cut the rectangle with Spellbinders nestabilities ,  left the die on and used the ink blending tool to add Antique Linen Distress ink to the edges.   Bo Bunny pattern paper, the red music is Cosmo Cricket.  The noël sentiment is from an Amy R’s sentiment set for Christmas.  Magnolia Doohickey’s dies,  a Martha Stewart holly punch and border punch for embellishing.

The Christmas Spirit is in the air!
