Sweet November Preview - Josie's Brella

***This is my second post for the day. Please scroll to the next post for my C.C. Designs for All That Scraps preview.***

Welcome to day two of the  Sweet November for All That Scraps. Some of my favorite characters, the Fairwees are back again!

Today's card features Josie's Brella. After stamping Josie I cut the image out with Spellbinders Nestabilities and then stamped the flower portion of the image again. After coloring both images with Copics, I fussy cut the flower image and then positioned it over the original image using pop dots for dimension. I stamped the watering can image from the Watering Can Logos onto patterned paper and cut out with the Watering Can Cutters adding a flower cut with the Petals and Branch Cutters. I placed it above the main image attaching with pop dots. I computer generated the sentiment onto a banner shape cut with the new for this release Scrolling Banners Cutters. The paper is all from an older MME Lime Twist pad which is in tatters at this point.

All That Scraps Preview - Mom's Heels

Welcome to another day of  All That Scraps April stamps and dies previews. I am featuring Mom's Heels from the Drozy's Darlings line. 

I loved this sweet image of the little fairy trying on her mom's shoes to go with her pretty dress and thought immediately of the Carta Bella Paris Girl 6x6 pad to pair it up. After stamping and coloring the image with Copic Markers, I stamped the edges in Versamark with the new Romantic Grunge flourishes and then heat embossed with pale pink embossing powders for a very subtle edging effect. I made the flowers with the Lucky Charms Cutters using Christa's tutorial here. I inked lightly around the edges of each flower with Tim Holtz Distress Ink (Antique Linen) as well as on the sentiment piece cut with the also new Scrolled Banners Cutters. The sentiment is from the Amy R Wedding Sentiments 2 set which is available in both rubber and clear. An older Jenni Bowlin vintage style button and a few jewels and pearls provided the finishing touches.

Welcome to first of three days of previews featuring Sweet November for All That Scraps. Some of my favorite characters, the Fairwees are back again!

Today's card features Piper and Mia's Banner Day. After coloring these girls up with Copics as per usual, I fussy cut them out and then placed them on a patterned paper background piece.

All the paper is from the Pebbles Seen and Noted pad.

All That Scraps Preview - 'Stache Monkey

Welcome to another day of All That Scraps April stamps and dies previews featuring the C.C. Designs line. Today I am featuring 'Stache Monkey. 

This mustachioed monkey really put a smile on my face so I decided to just be silly with him. After I colored him up with Copic Markers, I gave him an oversized tie and some glasses cut with the also new Guys Cutters. I cut the mustache from the same set and attached it to a button for an accent. The sentiment and the border strip at the bottom as well as the other patterned papers came from the Kaisercraft Party Animals pad. I found the plain tag in my stash and I added a Heidi Swapp clock face to the mix, plus some old Heidi Swapp Film Clips.

All That Scraps Preview - For My Gal (Clear set)

Welcome to the first day of C.C. Designs previews for All That Scraps. Today I'm featuring a card using images from the For My Gal clear set. Yes, Christine is now offering clear stamps in addition to the red rubber. I love both rubber and acrylic stamps so I am a happy designer!

The set features several feminine type icons and sentiments. I decided to go with the tea theme. To decorate the teacups, I used a couple of the flourishes from the Romantic Grunge set which is a new rubber set for this release, stamping three times with Memento Tuxedo Black onto Copics X-Press It cardstock. I then stamped over each flourish with the teacup image. After coloring with Copic Markers, I fussy cut out and then stacked them on top of each other onto a plain off-white panel. The sentiment was stamped directly onto the card base and the teabag image was stamped on the small circle shape which was cut out with Spellbinders Nestabilities.  Most of the paper came from the American Crafts Soho Garden pad except the yellow dotted which came from a Simple Stories Sn@p pad.

Products: C.C. Designs stamps, American Crafts and Simple Stories dp, PTI ribbon, Spellbinders Nestabilities, Copic Markers
Copics: BG0000, BG10, BG11, Y0000, Y13, Y35, R0000, R81, R83, W00, E81, C00, C1

This set along with the rest of the April release will be available for purchase tomorrow, April 1 from the All That Scraps store. We will continue to show you previews as per usual throughout the week. Be sure to check out the All That Scraps blog for even more previews.

Just Cruisin' By

I have a quick post as I'm busy trying to get Easter preparations completed for a family gathering tomorrow. I have another card today using papers from my new Bazzill Basics Lucy's Crab Shack pad. I'm using the more nautical themed papers as opposed to the tropical colors and patterns from yesterday's post. I combined them with an image from the Taylored Expressions Bon Voyage set. I cut the waves using the Taylored Expressions Wave Border die and then wrapped them with hemp cord for a bit of texture. Very simple.

Products: Taylored Expressions stamp and die, Bazzill Basics dp, My Favorite Things Die-namics, Spellbinders Nestabilities, Copic Markers
Copics: Ship-C00, C1, YR30, YR31, B91, B93, B95, B97, B99, R22, R24, R27; Shadows-B0000, B0000

I hope you are having a fabulous Easter weekend.

All That Scraps previews start tomorrow!

You're Someone Special

The word of the day is "new". Because there are several new things I used on this card.

First of all, I was so excited to receive the new Lucy's Crab Shack pad from Bazzill Basics that I went in search of a stamp to use it with immediately. Scrapbookers will probably remember Sweetwater which was a favorite of mine back in the day. The company transitioned over to fabric designing and left the paper world behind. Until now that is - in partnership with Bazzill. The mermaid image in the Market Street Dreaming of the Sea stamp set had not seen any ink so I paired her with this fab paper. It's a fairly new stamp set as well.

The third new item you will note is that I am trying out the Spectrum Noir markers. I still love my Copics and will probably never give them up especially since I have heavily invested in them.  I have never paid full price for a Copic marker or refill bottle but even at an average of $5 for the maker and another $6 for the refill, that is a $11 investment in just one color. It has become really hard for me to justify that kind of money. So I am sticking my toe in the Spectrum Noir world. And I am not even sure it's a full toe since as of right now I only have one of the 6 pack basics (pinks).  We shall see.

So on to the details of this card. I stamped the mermaid and the fishes onto Copics X-Press It cardstock and then cut out with Spellbinders Nestabilities allowing one of the tail fins to fall out of the box. I colored the images with mostly Copic markers and a bit with Spectrum Noirs. The flower was cut with the My Favorite Things Prima Donna Petals Die-namics. The C.C. Designs sentiment was stamped directly onto the background panel with Ranger Archival ink and I added some jewels to finish it up.  

Products: Market Street Stamps, C.C. Designs stamp, Bazzill Basics dp, TPC and Kaisercraft jewels, My Favorite Things Die-namics, Spellbinders Nestabilities, Spectrum Noir and Copic Markers
Copics: Skin-E0000, E000, E11, R20; Hair-E50, E51, E53; Mermaid Clothing/Fish-BG0000, BG000, BG01, YR12, YR14, YR02, 0
Spectrum Noir: ShellsFish-PP3, PP5, DR3

I'll have another project tomorrow using the more nautical themed papers from this same pad. Thanks so much for stopping by!
