Hi Crafty Friends, I am showing of one of the new stamp sets from C.C Designs today called Tiny Winter. This darling penguin and bear are playing in the snow in their little hats and scarves! My sister and I used to build a sled ramp down our back stairs when it snowed for sledding and my sister did the same thing for my nephew a few years ago so of course I included pictures for you. Playing in the snow is so much fun at any age and best part? Hot Chocolate after....just ask the penguin below. Make Crafty...

Hello dear ones, I was once again in the mood for a set of Artist Trading Cards. The little guys were a perfect match! For the background I first punched out the tag and then wiped with ink and then stamped snowflakes and stripes on it. With some yarn under the motifs and the sentiments, they were already finished. Here are two more pictures: Tiny Winter Clear Stamp Set Hugz Ginger

The NOVEMBER RELEASE from C.C. Designs was another fantastic show of goodness! I loved everything that was released last week. Be sure to head over to the C.C. Designs Store to pick up your favorites today. My card features two characters from the CUTIE YETI Clear Stamp Set. I just love them! I used the C.C. Designs Black Olive Ink Pad to stamp them onto Xpress It Blending Card. The images were colored with Copic Markers and then cut out using the Cutie Yeti Outline Metal Dies.   Copics: Girl Skin: E00, E01, E11, E13 Boy Skin: E11, E13, E15,...

Hi everyone! It's MEG here today with a tip and a fiasco to share with you.... My tip is on coloring ice when you are doing some no-line coloring. My fiasco is my CAS design, which I shall explain below. First...for my fiasco. I don't know if you've ever had a plan with how your design should turn out, only to find yourself doing something completely different?! I am not usually a CAS-girl, as y'all know. But for this design, the Snowy Bears clear stamps are seriously so perfect and detailed on their own, there isn't much you need to...

Happy weekend, everyone! Itś Joni here with a card made with another image from the Christmas Swiss Pixie set. I love love love these images, because they have such sweet personalities that shine through: I stamped her on kraft cardstock, then colored her up with Copics. I love using white gel pens on kraft because it reminds me of gingerbread icing. :) I cut out a little section of the cookie patterned paper from the Christmas Paper Pad for the top, then added gingham ribbon from my stash, and enamel dots to finish the look. You can find everything right here at...

Hello dear ones. No more 50 days until Christmas! This year this Hipster Santa will decide if you were good or naughty ;-). I find him absolutely cool and something different than these fat-bellied grandfathers, although I also like them very much!

The October Release from C.C. Designs was full of so much Christmas goodness! I love the entire release!! Now that it's getting closer to my favorite holiday, I've been inspired to try some different techniques. I love to heat emboss, but since we moved a lot of my craft stuff is still in boxes. I did some more unpacking and finally came across all my embossing powders...WOO HOO! I think gold embossed images on red cardstock looks so elegant so I decided I'd try to do something using this cute house from the GINGERBREAD LANE Clear Stamp Set.    ...
