Froggies

Froggies

Hi! Tamara here with you. Today I have a fun card featuring one of the old C.C. Designs' set called Froggies. I coloured the background (the water) with Distress Oxides and then covered it with a simple white sheet. I cut out three circles from that sheet and added froggies and leaves. Sentiment was cut out using my most used CCD die - Banners accessories. I added a few enamel drops around the images. I coloured all these froggies using Distress ink pads on 300g HP watercolour paper. That's all from me today! Hugs, t.

Sea you soon - ATC

Hello,I am currently in ATC fever again and I just finished these three.I used 3 of the cute stamps from the "June & July Clear Stamps" from last year. You can find it here in the shop: click I have designed the background with many different stamps and punched them out appropriately. I use the Scalloped Rectangle Metal Die. A small decoration of enamel dots and they were ready. Of course I also filled in the back again.

Flaunt It!

Flaunt It!

Hello, Larisa here and today I'm featuring this adorable flapper from the 20's Gals Clear Stamp Set from CC Designs.  To create this card, I started with some starry paper and trimmed it to fit my card base.  Then I used a few dies from my stash to create a city scene and full moon.  I colored up my image using Copic Markers and popped her on my card using foam tape.  Then I stamped out my sentiment and added that to finish the card off.        Card Details: 20's Gals Clear Stamp Set Banners Accessories Die

Happy Thursday, friends! It's Joni here with a card that I created with Butterfly Swissie. I wanted something a bit different so I stamped her, colored her up in Copics, then cut out only a part of her by using the different sizes of the Scalloped Rectangle Metal Die for layers: I loved the orange and black combo together - monarch butterflies are the sweetest! You can find her in the shop along with all of the other Swissies and new release.  Have a great day everyone, thank you for coming by. Happy crafting! xoxoxoxJoni

You may have noticed that already.I picked out this older set of Roberto's Characters: Snowmen Kids Especially this little guy is so great, how he holds his little belly while laughing. I colored in the "No-lines technique" with my beloved Copic markers. I admit that I am looking forward to the Christmas and winter time, even if it is summer. Who is also like that? Hugz Ginger

Paper Selection with To The Market Swissie

Hi! It's MEG here today to share a tip on selecting patterned paper for your projects. I'm using To The Market Swissie to illustrate this. I recently read a social media post where the poster asked whether other crafters if they colored images first and then picked papers to match the coloring, or the other way around. The answers indicated that crafters chose to limit themselves a lot by choosing their paper beforehand...but it doesn't NEED to be a limitation. Instead of selecting a single paper for use, why not try matching an entire paper stack?! I don't know about...
