C.C. Designs Review - Berry Beatrice

Today is review day on the All That Scraps blog and I am joining the rest of the design team members in showing your more projects using the May Release stamps.

Today's card features the new Beatrice collection. These little girls are absolutely precious and I have to say you will love next month's version too. I colored Berry Beatrice with Copic Markers as per usual and cut out the image with Spellbinders Nestabilities. The sentiment is also new from the Berry Logos Sentiment set, cut with the Logo Circle Cutter. I covered up part of the sentiment with a felt strawberry cut with the Strawberry Cutters. After cutting out the strawberry, I sewed some simple french knots on top as well as in the center of the strawberry bloom. The small green felt piece in the flower center was cut from the Mistletoe Cutters. The patterned paper is mostly from the Echo Park Graceful 6x6 pad with a bit of My Mind's Eye (striped).

Drinking of You (TCP Challenge 208)

Today's card is for this week's TCP Tuesday (TCPTUES208). Lori is our hostess this week with a fabulous color challenge.  

Since the colors said Cinco de Mayo I got a little scrappy with this one. I actually used four different stamp sets and two CutUps to create the scene. I created a tiki bar by replacing Sprinkle in the Gimme Some Sugar set with the bunny from the Aye, Aye Captain set. To create the "grass" roof of the the tiki hut, I used the Pom Pom Flower CutUps. After die cutting, I cut the piece right down the middle lengthwise with scissors. I then cut one of the sides into three seperate pieces graduating in size to create rows, curling up the ends for texture. I placed the bunny portion behind the bar and gave him a little salt, lime and tequila from the Hola Tequila Stamp set for a a te-killya-shot. The sentiment came from the Toni's Tea Set and I stamped it onto a piece from the Circus Panels CutUps.

Products: The Cat's Pajamas Stamps and CutUps, Linen Thread, Echo Park, Jillibean Soup and My Mind's Eye dp, PTI button, Copic markers

Copics: Bunny-E50, E51, E53, E55, E57; Hat-R22, R24, R27, YG13, YG15; Drink/Salt/Lime-W00, E81, C00, C3, C5, YG21, YG93, YG95

All the details for this TCP Tuesday challenge can be found on Alma’s blog. As always, there is potential for fame (Pick of the Litter) and/or fortune (Pick of the Week) and possibly even Swanky Stamper of the Month.

Sweet November - Adele

It's day three of May Sweet November previews of the Garden Gnomes collection. Today the Sweet November is featuring "Adele." In addition, my fellow All That Scraps design team members are featuring the various images from Garden Gnomes collection on the All That Scraps blog today.

Adele was stamped into Copics X-Press It, cut out with Spellbinders Nestabilities with some out of the box action then colored with Copic Markers. I stamped the mouse/nut portion of the image again and after coloring with Copics, I fussy cut it out, superimposing it over the original image with dimensional dots. The paper is all from the Fancy Pants Be You paper pad. I added a couple of rolled roses cut with My Favorite Things Die-namics layering them onto leaves cut with the C.C. Designs Leafy Branch Cutters. I think this has a Mary Engelbreit look to it.

C.C. Designs Preview - Gnome

****Please scroll to the next post for my Sweet November preview****

Today the All That Scraps design team members are previewing another new line from C.C. Designs, Mashi's Muffins. My card feature Gnome.

I added a little pond for Gnome to catch that fish in by first stamping the gnome image, masking and then stamping the pond from a stamp set from another manufacturer. I cut the image out with Spellbinders Nestabilities with some out of the box action for the water portion. I wanted the card to be bright and fun so I used papers from one of last year's My Mind's Eye Lime Twist pads. I stamped the sentiment from the Amy R Be Happy Sentiment Set directly onto the main image panel. Since the colors were so bright I decided to keep the embellishments simple by just adding a few buttons tied with twine.

Sweet November - Elsie

It's day two of May Sweet November previews of the Garden Gnomes collection. Today we are featuring "Elsie."

After stamping Elsie, I colored her up with Copics trying to make it appear that she was bathed in sunlight and then I fussy cut her out.  I paired her up with some old Sweetwater patterned papers, a favorite from my scrapbooking days. I used several new C.C. Designs Cutters, the Fence and Grass and Flower borders to create a scene. I added the doily in the background for a bit of frilliness and the metal badge from the same paper collection to act as the sentiment.

C.C. Designs Preview - Sassy Emma

****Please scroll to the next post for my Sweet November preview****

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

My card features Sassy Emma  from the Sugarplums line. I paper pieced her clothing and then colored everything else with Copic Markers. I combined papers from two of my favorite paper pads, My Minds Eye On the Bright Side One and Lily Bee Double Dutch and added to the homespun look by adding borders of paper rick rack. I created a layered flower by cutting a loopy border with the Curly Q Border Cutter and rolling it around the edge of a small circle. I then added a second layer cut with the largest flower in the Phlox Flower Cutters set, attaching together with a big Pink Paislee brad. The sentiment is from the Amy R Heart-y Sayings sentiment set.

Sweet November - Tilly

I also stamped the rake portion onto the small ticket shape which was cut with the new C.C. Designs Tickets Cutters. I then aligned the two images up for a spotlight effect. A few flowers, leaves and a small bit of cotton twill added to the garden theme. All the paper is from the October Afternoon 5 and Dime paper pad.
