C.C. Designs February Release - C.C. Cutters

 ***This is my second post for the day. Please scroll down for today's Sweet November post.***

Today the All That Scraps design team members are previewing the newest Cutters from C.C. Designs. I combined the brand new C.C. Designs Mushroom Border Cutters with the also new Swiss Pixie Lucy. I stamped Miss Lucy, masked the image and then stamped the Woodland Mushroom which is another new image. I cut out the image with Spellbinders Nestabilities allowing the wings to spill outside of the box. The sentiment is also new from the AmyR Be Happy Sentiment set. I added the leftovers from the mushroom border to the sentiment panel. The paper is from the Basic Grey Out of Print 6x6 pad.

Sweet November Preview Day 4 - Pine

Welcome to the final day of February Sweet November previews. Today we are featuring "Pine". 

After coloring Pine with Copics I cut the image out with Spellbinders Nestabilities. I paired this little guy with a sheet from the Little Yellow Bicycle Winter Twig collection since it had a variety of pinecones on it although they may be a bit hard to see. 12x12 sheets don't always translate well on cards. I added some snowflakes cut with My Favorite Things Die-namics to add to the winter theme.

Sweet November Preview Day 3 - Nutter

 ***This is my second post for the day. Please scroll down for my ATS Wednesday Challenge card.***
 
Welcome to day three of Sweet November previews for the February release. Today we are sharing projects using "Nutter"

After coloring Nutter with Copics, I  fussy cut him out.  Since it appears he loves acorns almost as much as the squirrels do,  I added a tree cut with My Favorite Things Die-namics and a few acorns cut with the C.C. Designs Acorns and Leaves Cutter die set which is also new for this release. The patterned paper all came from the Darling Dear 6x6 pad by My Mind's Eye which has been sadly underused. I added a wooden button with twine, slipping the two leaves slightly underneath the button.

Blowing Kisses (All That Scraps Wednesday Challenge)

Today's card is for the All That Scraps Wednesday Challenge which is a theme of "anything goes".

I've had this cute C.C. Designs Birgitta Blowing Hearts stamp for a while but just never got around to using her. I wanted my card to not be overly Valentine-ish so I paired it up with paper from the Cosmo Cricket Odds and Ends pad. And yup, you guessed it, another underused paper pad. A recurring theme from from last year's paper purchases. One I hope to rectify this year. The sentiment is C.C. Designs AmyR Heart-y Sayings Sentiment set and I added a heart cut from the Big Hearts Embossing Cutters.


Products: C.C. Designs stamps and Cutters, Cosmo Cricket dp, Spellbinders Nestabilities, PTI button, Copic Markers
Copics: Skin-E000, E00, E11, R20; Hair-E50, E51, YR31; Hearts/Shoes-R22 R24, R29; Clothing-BG70, BG10, BG11; W00, E81; Stool-YG0000, YG93, YG95; Shadows-B0000

I hope you can join in on the challenge. Please remember, that in order to be eligible to win, your project must include a stamp that is sold in the All That Scraps shop whether it is any of the wonderful in house designs or from the various other stamp companies that ATS carries. Be sure to check out the challenge blog for specific details on how to include your entry.

I'll be back soon with a Sweet November preview. Please stop by my new sale page also.

C.C. Designs February Preview - Swiss Pixies

*** This is my second post of the day. Please scroll down for my Sweet November Post!***

Today the All That Scraps design team members are previewing the newest Swiss Pixies from C.C. Designs.

I chose to work with Woodland Lucy. As you can see I didn't really go with a woodland theme though. I colored up Lucy in mostly blues and paired her up with October Afternoon patterned paper. The button card piece is from a 12x12 sheet of buttons cards from the Farmhouse collection - the remaining paper came from the 5 and Dime 8x8 pad. The background panel is from a MME pad, I distressed the edges and did some messing stitching. I added buttons (of course!) and twill to the button card. The sentiment came from the C.C. Designs AmyR Heart-y Sayings set.


Products: C.C. Designs stamp, October Afternoon dp, MME dp, PTI buttons, Copic Markers
Copics: Skin-E000, E00, E11, R20; Hair-E50, E51, E53, E55; Clothing-B000, B41, B32, B95, B97, B99; Shoes-C3, C5, C7; Shadows-B0000, B000

Sweet November Preview Day 2 - Shroom

Welcome to day two of Sweet November previews for the month of February. Today we are previewing "Shroom".

After stamping and coloring the image with Copics, I cut the image out with Spellbinders Nestabilities. The sentiment came from the new Mushroom set which is also new for this release and I stamped it directly onto the image panel. The patterned paper is mostly Authentique with some My Mind's Eye (the background piece). The resin mushrooms came from a Prima package that I had actually already purchased before I saw this release. I love it when things work out like that. Several MME buttons and some twine completed the sunshiny look.

Sweet November Preview Day 1 - Bloom

Welcome to the first of four days of Sweet November previews for the month of February. Today we are previewing "Bloom".

I combined Bloom with the Mushroom set which is also new for this release. I first stamped the Bloom image, masked it and then stamped the mushroom so it would appear she is perched atop it. After coloring the image with Copics I then cut it out and attached it directly to the card panel using a dimensional dot underneath the head portion of the image for a bit of lift.  The patterned paper is mostly Crate Paper with a bit of My Mind's Eye. I cut the butterfly with the C.C. Designs Butterflies Cutters Die set and then punched two small ones using a Martha Stewart punch. I added an MME button and American Crafts ribbon as simple embellishments. You'll be seeing the MME Lost and Found buttons on several of the previews this week. I re-discovered several hardly touched packs of these in my embellishments basket and had to ask myself about why I was hoarding them!  My motto for this year is to use it or lose it.
