Christmas stamp!

Here is the last project I made for the October stamp releases at CDS.
You can see ALL the final stamp releases for October over at Lori's blog.

I used one of the Stamps of the Month that you can choose to get for free for making a qualified purchase, Christmas Deer.
Just lovely!  I bet this one would look fabulous just embossed in silver or gold on color cardstock.

Christmas Deer SOM
I wanted  to color this one simple and put pearls in the snowflakes on the deers back, and when I got my new paper pad, I LOVED the colors in this paper and felt it was a perfect fit for this deer.
I got to use one of the big decorative brads from SU that I got this summer too, makes it so pretty!

October Product Parade - NEW STAMPS

Good morning!
Today starts the new stamp release at CDS, and I have 3 stamp sets that I created with to hopefully give some inspiration.


Christmas Inchy stamps
I made this hanging ornament that can double as a bracelet. I used polyshrink, the cuttlebug set of 4 mini square scallop dies, beads and some heavy duty but lightweight beading string. I stamped on polyshrink, punched holes in 2 of the corners, colored with regular markers and then shrunk them with the heat gun. Then assembled together with the beading string and put seed beads in between each section.  I coated each square with crystal effects on the top, and some clear stickles on the back. I did one side and then waited a couple hours and then did the other sides.

STAMPS: Christmas Inchies by Clear Dollar Stamps
CS/PAPER: clear polyshrink
INK: Brilliance black, markers pool party, island indigo, lucky limeade, wisteria wonder, peach parfait
ACCENTS/TOOLS: Cuttlebug provocraft mini scallop square die, 1/8" hole punch, jewelry thread, seed beads, lobster clasps, jump rings, heat tool, stickles, sakura clear effects

New Digital Images at CDS

Hello!  Today is the digital release day at CDS and there are some totally cute images available!!!  I only am showing you samples with 2 sets, but be sure to check out Lori's blog HERE for all the images and digi paper sets being released today!

Here I used the Tea-rrific Digi image set, just the outlines.  There is a matching digi paper pack sold separately, as well as color tea images.  I wanted to color my tea set black with purple and yellow roses.  My grandmother had a beautiful black china set that I always stood and admired behind the glass cabinet.  It had the purple and yellow roses too, so that is where I was inspired for this card.
The black was really hard to color.  It didn't turn out exactly how I was envisioning, but I think it still looks black.
I used the white filled PNG images to overlap them into a little scene, in my Word document, and then I printed it pretty large....  the image rectangle is a 3" x 6" size, and the finished card is 3.25" x 6.25".

Little princess thanks you

Hello!  I made this thank you card with the adorable Little princess puppy from KnK Designs.
She is so cute!  The sentiment is also from another KnK digi set, americana horse.
I watercolored the image with the markers and waterbrush.
For the corners, I punched a MS border punch and then snipped out at 90 degree angles to make corners.
Thanks for visiting today!  I hope you have a fun weekend and stay cool!

Little Campers

Hello!   It is HOT HOT HOT where I am, and warm colors are on my mind.

This darling little bunny and horse sleeping by a campfire fits perfect with the Stampin Sisters in Christ challenge theme this week, so I entered into that challenge.

After printing the digital image Campfire Pals, on Canson 90 lb. watercolor paper, I watercolored it with Tombow markers and a watebrush.

I used stickles on the stars and moon, and a white paint pen for dots on the blankets.

Thanks for stopping in for a visit!  Hope you enjoy your day!
