New digital images

Today is the digital image day for Clear Dollar Stamps!
There are so many adorable images, and I have created a couple cards showing the color versions of just 2 digital sets being released today.
Don't miss all the other Dt creations today, you can get links to them all at Lori's CDS blog.

Both cards I made are pretty simple and easy to create, and added sewing to dress it up a little.
Here I used the Ark of Faith colored image and matching papers.

 And the Toucans of love colored image and matching papers.

Stamps of the quarter

On the last day of the CDS stamp product parade, we show the stamps of the quarter.  These are the sets that you can earn free with a qualifying purchase order amount.  There are 3 sets to choose from, and the Winter Bear is one of them, which is what I am previewing for you.
On my oval cutout, I used a 3/4" circle punch and punched out a little from each side so that the decorative swirls of the diecut below it would show.  I think it made a nice look.

 That is all from the newest stamps released at CDS!  Hope you enjoy and can get out there to create!  Wishing you a wonderful new year and happy week!

BIG flowers make beautiful cards!!

It's day 2 of the CDS product parade and we are showing the new clear stamps!!!
I did 2 cards today, one with each of the big flowers, Dahlia and Josephine Clematis.

These stamps were made to be BIG flowers that are easy to color and fill up a card front, and each include a few sentiments.  I love these flowers!!
I knew on the dahlia that I wanted to do a 3 tone petal coloring... I put yellow on the petal creases, orange in the petal centers and the bright pink on the peal tips.  The picture seemed to wash out the colors, but in person, the coloring is much more vibrant.

I recently have started to LOVE the lavender color, in fact, I think it is just about my favorite color now.  It just is so pretty with minty greens, and neutral creams/browns, both of which are also some of my fav colors.  This card is pretty simple, but I like it.

Thanks for visiting today, I hope you'll come back the next couple days, as I have a couple more new product inspirations to show!   Have a happy day!

CDS Product Parade January Stamps are here

Hello!   Wow, it has been a long time since I got to play with my stamps!  It was so much fun to get to sit and create last week.   
I am excited to share with you the first project I made with the Toucans of Love stamps. Cute little girl and boy toucans... you can stamp them together or individually.
There are several single sentiment stamps available that can be used with them, but sold separately too.
I stamped the toucan on watercolor paper and watercolored using the Tombow markers and a waterbrush.
I sewed the toucan panel and added the punched border to the base and sewed around that too.

I will have something to show you with the newest clear stamps for the next 3 days, so I hope you'll come back to see!   Hope you have a crafty weekend!
