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. "S.Y.S" stands for "Sea you soon" ;-) I take more care to avoid plastic garbage, so I made small envelopes myself and...

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  

Hi! Tamara here with you with a Winter card. I used one of the sweet images from Snowy Bears set. Image was coloured up using Distress ink pads on 300g HP watercolour paper. I cut out the image using Rectangle die. Then I cut another one, just one size smaller and glued it behind the image. Sentiment "You're one of my coolest friends" comes with the image and was cut out using Banners accessories die. Hugs, t.

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

Hello or Ho Ho Ho ;-) Things are a little different this month. 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

Hi everyone! It's MEG here today, sharing a project using the Yum Yum Cupcake clear stamps and dies. For this project, I used the shoppe stamp, and created a background by stamping it in different directions. Here's how it looks finished: To complete my design, I added a sheet of vellum over my design. It gives such a different look to the coloring! The Banner Accessories dies, Rectangle dies, and Scalloped Rectangle dies help make the design look cute! See ya next time!

Hello everyone, Larisa here!  Today, instead of Christmas-In-July, I have a Winter-In-July card for you.  This sweet little card features the Cutie Yeti Clear Stamp Set from CC Designs.  This set is packed full of images and sentiments.  A must for your winter projects!  To create my card, I used some patterned paper for my background panel, die cut some mountains using dies in my stash, and added some premade die cuts from Doodlebug. Then I stamped out my images and cut them out using the coordinating dies.  I added them to my card front using foam tape and even...

Happy Monday everyone! Did you check out the 5 new Swissies that were part of the JUNE 2020 RELEASE from C.C. Designs? They are so adorable and cute! I'm a huge fan of this fabulous line of stamps and I'm so glad they are making a come back!     There will not be a new release in July. Instead, the talented Design Team will be showcasing some older stamps during the month. Then in August, C.C. Designs will bring you some new goodies. I've already seen the sneak peeks and let me tell you, it's going to be AWESOME!!   ...

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...

Hi Crafty Friends, I LOVE Princesses! Don't you? This is Ella Swissie from C.C Designs who looks just like Cinderella. I created a castle scene with plenty of sparkle for her. My prom dress was actually very similar to Cinderella (see below), for some reason I only black and white pictures but my dress was Cinderella blue and my twin sister's was a navy blue. Make Crafty Friends Q & A:Q: What color was your prom dress? Would you still wear that dress today? A: Me? Light blue and yes! I love that dress and think it holds up in...
