C.C. Designs Review (and an announcement)

It's review time on the C.C. Designs Rubber Stamps blog and I am joining other members of the design team in showing you more projects using the October release stamps.

Using the tag from the Baggie and Tag Cutters I cut one tag from patterned paper and the second one from plain white card stock. For the plain tag, I used a very old stamp to stamp the shadow using Tim Holtz Antique Linen ink. I then used the two "merry" sentiments from the Christmas Blessing set using black and red inks. I stamped the lines by inking the edge of the smallest "merry" stamp and then stamping onto the background. I attached the two tags together with a clothespin from the Doodlebug Halloween Mini Clothespins set, slipping some Hemptique cording underneath first. After attaching the tag set to a panel cut from patterned paper from the Teresa Collins Santa's List pad, I then colored one of the penquins from the Holiday Penguins with Copic Markers and fussy cut out. I attached to the background panel with dimensional dots and added Ranger Diamond Stickles to the bell portion of the image for a bit of sparkle. I am submitting this card for the current Tag You're It #7 challenge.

My second card is also a tag based one using an image from the Vintage Winter set.  I cut the tag from Neenah Classic Crest Natural White cardstock with the tag from the Baggie and Tag Cutters. I stamped the cardinal onto it and then trimmed off the lower half. I cut another tag from some Making Memories patterned paper from my old scrapbook stash (circa 2009). After coloring the image with Copic Markers, I tied the two tags together with with May Arts ribbon anchored with a button. I added some Ranger Diamond Stickles for the "snow" portion of the image and then attached the tag combo to the card stock background. The sentiment from the Snarky Christmas set and was stamped and matted with Spellbinders Nestabilities.

And now for the announcement. Today's post is my last as a design team member for C.C. Designs. I started out with the challenge team approximately 3 and half years ago then transitioned to the Design Team. Christine has decided to reset the team with a Design Team call. This has actually made a decision I have been struggling with for a while much easier. I will not be reapplying as I have felt for some time now that it was time for me to go. I hope you will apply for the call if you are interested. The images are adorable and fun to color. Here is the post to read about the requirements and to link up your submission.
