Sweet November Preview - Princess Eleonore

***This is my second post for today. Please scroll down for my C.C. Designs for All That Scraps preview card.***

I'm back for a second day of June previews featuring Sweet November for All That Scraps. This month we are celebrating the Princesses in your life. The four Princesses are actually sold as a set but we are showcasing them individually

Even though we are previewing the Princesses individually, I decided to treat my cards as a set. The colors, patterns and the layouts are different but you will notice that all the cards have common elements, white backgrounds, a paper doily, soft seam binding ribbon, button, bling and a sentiment from the new Simply Enchanting Sentiments (clear) set.

Today's card features Princess Eleonore. I fussy cut out the image after coloring with Copic Markers and then added some jewels to her crown. I placed her on a Martha Stewart paper doily so she wouldn't get lost in the patterned paper which is all from the new My Mind's Eye Kate & Co. Cambridge Court 6x6 pad. I placed a dimensional dot underneath her head for a bit of lift.

All That Scraps Preview - Once Upon....

Welcome to the first day of  C.C. Designs previews for All That Scraps for June. Today I'm featuring a card using the new Meoples set, Once Upon.

I first made the card base in a step card design and then cut the various step backgrounds and mats. I cut the "castle" with the House on the Hill Cutters which was actually a Halloween haunted house type die. I thought it looked enough like a castle, especially when using Cinderella like colors. After coloring all the images with Copic markers, I fussy cut them out and attached the card base on the various "steps" of the card to create a scene. I stamped the sentiment from the new Simply Enchanting Sentiments (clear) set onto an oval shape cut with Spellbinders Nestabilities.

A quick post this afternoon to show you a masculine card today featuring Sparkle Creations Golfing Oliver. Did you now that All That Scraps is now carrying the Sparkle Creations line of stamps? After coloring with Copic Markers and paper piecing the sweater vest I fussy cut out the image and attached to the background panel. I followed this week's Deconstructed Sketch (DS103) for the layout leaving the bow portion off to keep the frou frou to a minimum. All the paper is from the Echo Park Happy Camper 6x6 pad.

Sweet November Preview - Princess Gwendolyn

Good morning. Welcome to first of four June preview days featuring Sweet November for All That Scraps. This month we are celebrating the Princesses in your life. The four Princesses are actually sold as a set but we are showcasing them individually. Cause they are just too darn cute and princess-y not to give them their own special day!

Even though we are previewing the Princesses individually, I decided to treat my cards as a set. The colors, patterns and the layouts are different but you will notice that all the cards have common elements, white backgrounds, a paper doily, soft seam binding ribbon, button, bling and a sentiment from the new Simply Enchanting Sentiments (clear) set.

Today's card features Princess Gwendolyn. I cut Gwendolyn out with a rectangular Spellbinders Nestie and then colored with Copic markers with the softest of hues. She has tiny pearls added to her shoes and dress and jewels in her crown. The sentiment was stamped onto a piece cut with the Stackables Cutters. The papers all came from the Basic Grey Knee Highs 6x6 pad.

You're Swell

It's unusual for me to have two cards in one day on a Saturday but next week is full of design team projects so I decided to squeeze this one in. Today's card features the Happy Harbor set from a brand new stamp company, Reverse Confetti. 

I used the piece cut with the My Favorite Things Peek-a-Boo Squared Die-namics to represent portholes to showcase the ocean animals in the set. I used a variety of ink, Memento, Fresh Ink and Ranger Archival to stamp the whale, fish and shrimp, adding a watery wave for each using the Taylored Expressions Wave Border die. For the fourth porthole I used the Octopus in the patterned paper and then stamped the sand dollar on a separate circle. The anchor was cut with the My Favorite Things Sea Charms Die-namics and I wrapped baker's twine around it and attached it to circle piece. The sentiment was stamped onto a circle using the C.C. Designs Bubble Cutters. All the paper came from the Fancy Pants Down by the Shore 6x6 pad.

You are the Only One for Me

It's been a very long time since I've had a chance to play with the My Favorite Things Wednesday Stamp Club challenge (MFTWSC126). But I received this Feathers and Arrows Die-namics fairly recently and was determined to use it. I combined it with papers from the Studio Calico Sundrifter pad, using a sentiment from the My Favorite Things Lovey-Dovey stamp set stamped with Memento Potter's Clay ink. I layered it with cardstock cut with the Lil Inker Designs Instant Camera die with a piece cut with the C.C. Designs Curly-Q Border Cutters slipped underneath. A button, twine and pearls provided the finishing touches.

Walking in a Winter Wonderland

Today's card is a Christmas in May card to meet my goal of creating at least one card per month. I combined the Taylored Expressions Birch Tree Border die with the Papertrey Ink In the Meadow Stamp and die set to create a snowy scene. After cutting the Birch Trees, I inked the edges with Copic markers (W00 and E81). I used the In the Meadow stamp and dies for the two deer using Memento Rich Cocoa ink and cut out the birds with the dies as I had a hard time matching up the tiny stamps against the tiny die-cuts. I wanted the card to have a very serene and calm look so I used muted patterned paper by Melissa Frances from my 12x12 stash. I stamped the sentiment onto a piece from The Cat's Pajamas Circus Panels Cutups.

I hope you enjoyed my Christmas in May card! Thanks for stopping by.
